제 45회 배터리댄스 페스티벌에서 김세용(Seyong Kim) 웨스턴미시간대 교수가 안무한 독무 '동해에 비친 달(The Moon Reflected in East Sea)'가 공연된다. 8월 13일 오후 7시 로버트 와그너 주니어 파크 무대에서 열릴 '동해에 비친 달'은 일본 군국주의 체제 하에서 성노예로 고통받았던 여성들을 기리는 한국의 ‘평화의 소녀상’을 모티브로 안무한 작품이다. 내밀한 솔로 무용언어를 통해 문화 간, 그리고 문화를 초월하는 관점을 조명하며, 치유와 화해의 주제를 탐구하고 평화로운 공존에 대한 통찰을 제안한다는 평가를 받았다. 음악은 올라퍼 아르날즈(Olafur Arnalds)와 앨리스 사라 오트(Alice Sara Ott, 피아노)가 연주한 쇼팽의 "Eyes Shut-Nocturne in C Minor"이며, 무용수로는 에이미 손더(Amy Saunder)가 무대에 오른다.
