The Aesthetic Purity of Cloud Gate
18 films
Three and a half tons of golden rice grains form ever-shifting visual landscapes—like rain, waterfalls, mountains, and deserts. In 1994, Lin Hwai-min made a pilgrimage to Bodh Gaya, the site of the Buddha’s enlightenment. Upon returning to Taiwan, he choreographed the serene and extraordinary piece Songs of the Wanderers. In 2001, Lin infused the aesthetics of calligraphy into dance, beginning his renowned “Cursive Trilogy.”
With the body as a brush and movement as expression, dancers and calligraphers engage in a timeless, intimate dialogue—crystallizing fleeting moments into sublime beauty.
Giloo presents 18 selected works from Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, inviting viewers to merge with the ebb and flow of music and shadow, and step into the ethereal, dreamlike realm of Cloud Gate.
