Synopsis:

"才华洋溢,技术超群,云门2的卓越应与世界分享!" ——《纽约时报》

"这是一个你会欣赏,会爱上,会想一看再看的舞团!" ——《美国芭蕾舞杂志》

舞坛新宠,众所期盼的云门2,首次登上滨海艺术中心舞台。

两位获奖无数的台湾编舞家郑宗龙与黄翊,加上云门2的新生代舞者,将献上三支舞码。时而灼灼逼人的舞姿,却又有优雅内敛的气韵贯穿始终,更有新与旧,传统与当代的结合,静中有动,且又悠然自在。

《流鱼》——快速的群舞交织流动,如多重旋钮重叠,层次丰富的影像和细腻的肢体结合而成的复杂舞作;

《墙》——在无止休的弦乐声中,舞者透过不同的动作语汇不断拆解行进的队伍,以饱满节奏和灯光变化,制造墙在真实与虚拟的对比,舞台爆发出撼人的力量;

《来》——充满温度的土地庶民色彩,从传统民间信仰入手,现代和西方与台湾在地文化的和谐共融,创造出丰富新颖的舞蹈语汇。

云门2简介
云门2是台湾云门舞集林怀民在1999年创立,由已故舞蹈家罗曼菲担任创团艺术总监。2014年起,郑宗龙出任艺术总监。与其他多数年轻舞蹈团不同,云门2是一组独立运作的年轻团队,无需呈献林怀民的作品也不为云门舞集培养储备团员。舞团以培育编舞家、舞者和培养多元观众为目标,经常力邀杰出编舞家为舞团编作,累积出风格迥异的丰富舞码,展现出舞者多元活泼的肢体能力。舞团每年定期的新作发表"春斗",已成为台湾观众年年期待的舞蹈风景。自2012年起,云门2受邀到美国、德国、中国、英国等地巡演,赢得观众热情的掌声,佳评不断。

"Talent and skill...Cloud Gate 2 has those virtues, it's only right that they should be shared with the rest of the world." The New York Times

"This is a company that you will enjoy, fall in love with, and want to see again."
– Ballet-Dance Magazine

The much-anticipated Singapore debut of Cloud Gate 2, featuring many of Taiwan's most talented young dancers and two award-winning choreographers.

Reputed for their potent technique and polished skill, the sister company of the internationally celebrated Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, presents three riveting dance works by innovative Taiwanese choreographers Cheng Tsung-lung and Huang Yi.

Huang Yi's Wicked Fish is "fast-paced, exciting and fluid" (Dance Europe), with dancers effortlessly mimicking a shoal of fish in a puzzle-like choreography of twists, turns and lifts. The Wall, by the company's artistic director, Cheng Tsung-lung, is a powerful exploration of protection and segregation, a dramatic march of contrasts that is both "sinuous and balletic" (The New York Times), with ever-changing formations of striking complexity. The final piece Beckoning, also by Cheng, is a playful and poetic work inspired by the colourful street dancing rituals of Taoist temple parades.

Witness the vibrant energy of these gutsy young dancers and be thrilled by this exciting company – Cloud Gate 2 – A Triple Bill is a dance event not to be missed.

About Cloud Gate 2
Cloud Gate 2 was formed in 1999 by Lin Hwai-min, Founder and Artistic Director of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, with the late Lo Man-fei as its founding Artistic Director. Unlike most junior companies, Cloud Gate 2 does not prepare dancers for Cloud Gate, nor does it perform Lin Hwai-min's choreographies. It showcases talented young dancers in original works by innovative young choreographers. The company's annual season, Spring Riot, is one of the most anticipated arts events in Taiwan. Since its first tour in 2012 to the UK, US, Germany and China, the critically acclaimed Cloud Gate 2 has been making waves on the international dance scene. The company has been under the artistic direction of Cheng Tsung-lung since 2014.
