Sounding Light

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan / Cheng Tsung-lung

“Sounding Light” is a dance performance by Cheng Tsung-lung about the beauty of nature. Twelve dancers recreate scenes from the forest on stage and produce many of the sounds themselves using their bodies.“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.
