\nKuo-Shin Chuang, choreographer and artistic director of Kuo-Shin Chuang Pangcah Dance Theatre, explained that \u201c\u221e \u2012 Infinity Loop\u201d draws inspiration from Ilisin\u2014also known as the Amis Harvest Festival\u2014the most important annual ceremony of Taiwan\u2019s Amis Indigenous people. Through the interplay of music, dance, and movement, the work explores the profound connection between ritual, the body, and cultural identity.

\nMeanwhile, \u201cTrace of Belief,\u201d created by Hsieh Yi-chun, dancer and artistic director of Chun Dance, fuses contemporary dance with traditional Taiwanese folk performance elements, including the gong, suona, and processional footwork.<\/p>

\nThrough \u201cThe Rite of Spring,\u201d Dashing Theater choreographer Huang Huai-te explores how social systems shape individuals and how dance can serve as a means of expression within those constraints. Before the work\u2019s international debut, Huang was uncertain how overseas audiences would respond to its challenging, non-verbal nature. To his surprise, French audiences watched with remarkable focus and respect, paying close attention to the nuances of the performance. Huang hopes the work will resonate with discerning audiences and establish a place for itself in the European performing arts market.<\/p>

\nThese outstanding performances from Taiwan continued through July 25. Among them, Lost Connection was presented at Les Hivernales-CDCN d\u2019Avignon from July 10 to 20.<\/p> Contacts<\/b>
