亞洲首演
「我的身體就是人生最完整的存檔...每個細胞均裝載著生命藍圖，基因闡述了我的過去，甚至預測了我的未來。」 ──韋恩・麥葛萊格，《衛報》
獲獎無數的英國編舞家韋恩・麥葛萊格於過去25年來揉合科研與舞蹈，創作出多套探索生命的作品。在《我的基因舞譜》中，麥葛萊格以自己的23對染色體化成舞譜，把基因序列編寫成23節舞蹈自傳。
每場演出猶如變幻無窮的生命，23節舞蹈由電腦隨機抽選及排序，拼湊成獨一無二的展演。與麥葛萊格合作無間的電子音樂人Jlin為《我的基因舞譜》創作音樂。舞台上，嶄新的音樂風格配上幻象般的燈光，映襯十位舞者的演出，以15個舞段反思並重塑零碎且繁複的片段人生。
自2017年首演，《我的基因舞譜》曾於多地巡演並廣獲好評。《我的基因舞譜》為自由空間與多個世界級藝術場地及機構共同委約的作品，西九與韋恩・麥葛萊格工作室於2017年簽訂三年交流及合作協議，建立長遠夥伴關係，探索更多藝術創作上的可能性。

Asian Premiere
“Wayne McGregor turns his life story into a dance in a mesmerising inimitable show based upon his own genetic code.” ── The Guardian
For 25 years, award-winning British choreographer and director Wayne McGregor has created dance works that interrogate life through the experience of the body and reflect his long-standing interest in science and technology. In Autobiography, McGregor turns his attention to the body as archive. Inspired by the sequencing of his own genome and the 23 pairs of chromosomes that contain the human DNA, he creates a 23-chapter dance portrait shaped around autobiographical impressions and influences.
Like the infinite possibilities of individual lives, no two performances are the same. Each unfolds uniquely, with the arrangement of the 23 self-contained choreographic chapters assembled randomly according to a computer-generated algorithm. Performed by 10 dancers to a genre-defying soundscape produced by long-time collaborator, electronic musician Jlin, Autobiography offers a mesmerising reflection on the fractured, multilayered nature of our lives and personal stories.
Autobiography is co-commissioned by Freespace and a number of international venues, as part of an on-going artistic collaboration between West Kowloon and Studio Wayne McGregor.
Since its premiere in 2017, Autobiography has toured internationally to wide acclaim.
