“Sounding Light” is inspired by the impressions gained by Cheng Tsung-lung, artistic director of Cloud Gate, during his long walks through forests.
On a minimalistic stage with twelve dancers, scenes of a day in the life of a forest unfold:
a mating ritual of birds, a rain shower in the leaves of a tree, sunbeams breaking through the clouds. In an attempt to integrate dance and sound, most of the atmospheric soundtrack emerges from the bodies of the dancers themselves as a natural element of their performance.
Cheng‘s work for the internationally renowned company is a meditation on the beauty of nature that reveals the shared essence of the human and natural worlds.
