Cloud Gate Online world premieres of CHENG Tsung-lung ’s Lunar Halo and LIN Hwai-min: A Retrospective
The Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan will present Lunar Halo by CHENG Tsung-lung of Cloud Gate’s Artistic Director, followed by LIN Hwai-min: A Retrospective, featuring 13 excerpts from Moon Water, Cursive, Bamboo Dream, Pine Smoke, White Water …, many signature works by Lin, Hwai-min, Cloud Gate’s founder at YouTube (http://cloudgate2020.piee.pw/RZ929) and Vimeo (https://cloudgate2020.pse.is/RQWLL) from 8am, July 18, 2020.
Lunar Halo will stay for 24 hours only while LIN Hwai-min: A Retrospective will be available for 7 days until 25th July
In collaboration with Sigur Rós and Kjartan Holm in music, CHENG Tsung-lung uses this natural phenomenon to create Lunar Halo, raising a major question of our own existence to this fast-changing digital world: Do we still need our physical bodies and senses if we only use our eyes and fingertips for experience?
Cloud Gate has stunned and mesmerized the audience with works by its founder LIN Hwai-min. After 46 glorious years of directing the company, LIN stepped down as artistic director last December.
Cloud Gate dancers receive training in meditation; Qi Gong, an ancient breathing exercise; internal martial arts; modern dance; and ballet. Manifesting in choreography, the company transforms ancient aesthetics into a thrilling and modern celebration of motion.
Cloud Gate has toured worldwide with frequent engagements at the Next Wave Festival in New York, the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, the Moscow Chekhov International Theatre Festival in Russia, the Movimentos International Dance Festival and the Internationales Tanzfest NRW directed by Pina Bausch in Germany.
