ABOUT US

SOMA Dance Theatre is a Hong Kong–based contemporary and physical theatre company founded in 2026 by dance artist and choreographer Kristy Lai Kei Wong.

Driven by the principle of "EMOTION IN MOTION" , SOMA explores the living, embodied self through the interplay of sensation, feeling, and imagination.

SOMA Dance Theatre creates movement-based works that view the body as an integrated whole and deliver performances that evoke resonance. Transcending the limitation of literature, SOMA’s work becomes a shared experience between the viewer and performer(s), it fosters connection as well as the exchange of authentic dialogues.

SOMA Dance Theatre has presented its work internationally across Asia and Europe, including performances at the Xie Xin Dance Theatre Residency Program (Shanghai, China), NODUS 2026 Contemporary Dance Artistic Residency (Spain), Sibu International Dance Festival (Malaysia), Goyang International Dance Festival (South Korea), Youth Crossover Dance Art Festival by Chongqing One Run One Boundary Dance Theatre (Chongqing, China), Guangdong Modern Dance Festival (Guangzhou, China), and HOTPOT East Asia Dance Platform by the City Contemporary Dance Festival.

" Dance is more than movement—it is an emotional language that can foster empathy, dialogue, and connection.

I invite you to encounter our creations not only as performances but as conversations of feelings. To step into the world shaped by our bodies where characters and stories, experiences and states of mind are embodied through physicality, theatrical structures and creative scenic engineering. "
