Cloud Gate members describe upcoming production ‘Little Dusts’ (2014/08/18)
The spate of recent deadly disasters resonates in a new Cloud Gate Theatre production that opens later this year. “Little Dusts” will examine the triviality of life.
As these dancers open their mouths to emit a silent shout, they wear an expression of pain. This is one of two new dances Cloud Gate will premiere in November. The cry of terror is a response to the insignificance of mankind.
Artistic director Lin Hwai-min laments the frequency of recent disasters. Speaking of them brought tears to his eyes.
Lin Hwai-min Cloud Gate Artistic Director In the face of this kind of situation, terror or pain, we can only speak of the pain that we feel in our hearts.
A dancer described the impact of the somber music.
Cloud Gate Dancer During this dance, we must discard our feelings. We must demand that the rhythm and timing of our movements are precise. The greatest challenge on stage is how you can resist the music.
A decade ago, Lin decided to create a complete work based on this music. In the process, he described the impermanence of the world.
