Details

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan was the first contemporary dance company in any Chinese speaking community. The company are known for transforming ancient aesthetics into thrillingly original performances that draw on diverse disciplines; from chi kung and meditation to ballet and internal martial arts. A bamboo forest covers the stage creating an imposing landscape where its visitors are transformed. In the heat of summer the dancers hide, flow and roll amongst the delicate structures. As dusk sets in, snow drifts slowly down signaling the end is near. The bright red fabric of the dancers dresses float in the air striking a brilliant contrast with the white covered ground. The flute of a Shaman and symphonic music accompanies these aerial games. Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan - Bamboo Dream website.
