Moon Water - Cloud Gate Dance Theater of Taiwan
"Energy flows as water, while the spirit shines as the moon." This description of a Tai Chi practitioner's ideal state was the inspiration for Moon Water. Accompanied by selected compositions from J.S. Bach's cello suites, Lin Hwai-min’s choreography is derived from the graceful Chinese martial arts of Tai Chi. During this breathtaking performance, water sweeps across the stage and is flicked in arcs by the dancers’ moving arms and feet. Gradually, the sound of splashing water takes over from Bach, underpinning the vision, and the dancers throw themselves on the stage, surfing on the fine film of liquid. This gorgeous performance is not to be missed.
