Iván Pérez

HUI has emerged from an exciting international collaboration between Taiwan, Great-Britain and the Netherlands, and puts the piano music of Tan Dun in the spotlight. The show is directed by Cryptic´s Josh Armstrong and co-directed by Cathie Boyd, and choreographed together with the Dutch-Spanish Iván Pérez of Korzo and the Taiwanese Ming-Lung Yang of Dance Forum Tapei. This contemporary dance- theatre performance exposes spores. Remnants that remain and traces we create for the future. It is a wonderful journey through the seasons of life and in which the ever-changing beauty of nature is expressed. On Tan Dun's piano music, inspired by the line "In the time of snow, moon and flowers, I think of you" of Tang Dynasty poet BAI Juyi. Four piano compositions are the thread within the different scenes: "Dew-Fall-Drops"; "Traces"; "C-A-G-E"; "8 Memories in Watercolor".
