Legend Lin Dance Theatre Song of Pensive Beholding
10/15(Sat)14:3010/16(Sun)14:30
Following Miroirs de Vie and Hymne aux Fleurs qui Passent, LIN Lee-chen presents the final work of the series, Song of Pensive Beholding . This long-awaited piece is a mythic story about the soul of Nature, completing the trilogy of LIN’s tribute to Heaven, Earth, and Man. Believing in the interconnectedness of the men, the spirits, and the gods, LIN creates an epic world. A mysterious realm with a mystical river and an unexpected rivalry between two eagle brothers, this world knows no time and space, but one day, after the balance is broken, change becomes a basic everyday condition. As before, LIN’s original vocabularies of movement and unique meditative quality will bring audiences closer to the inner spirit of the earth.
Legend Lin Dance Theatre
Legend Lin Dance Theatre was founded in 1995 by artistic director and choreographer LIN Lee-chen with the exclusive purpose of presenting large-scale performance works, including Miroirs de Vie, Hymne aux Fleurs qui Passent , Song of Pensive Beholding and The Eternal Tides -- all of which reflect the spirit of her native Taiwan. Inspired by traditional religious rituals and ceremonial rites celebrating the rhythms of nature and our place in it, LIN’s artistry combines a lush visual aesthetics with a brilliantly original and exquisitely languid choreography that gives new meaning to the phrase “Poetry in motion.” In its rare performances overseas, Legend Lin Dance Theater has won high praise from critics and audiences alike.
