BECKONING

A perfect melding of Taiwanese culture and Western contemporary dance

About BECKONING
"People can often turn into another identity in one instant. And I am fascinated by how these changes occur on their bodies, expressions and tones," said CHENG Tsung-lung.

Distilling movements subtly from the Taiwanese street-dancing ritual of 'Eight Infernal Generals,' also known as Ba Jia Jiang, CHENG has created a mysterious zigzag of body language that gives this abstract work a playful yet poetic quality.
