It features I Wonder Where the Dreams I Don’t Remember Go by contemporary art pioneers Yoann Bourgeois and Marie Bourgeois; Cacti by the internationally acclaimed choreographer Alexander Ekman; and Minus 16 by Ohad Naharin, the pioneer who created the dance language "Gaga". For the first time, these internationally acclaimed choreographers will collaborate with outstanding Chinese dancers, infusing classic global works with an Eastern soul in entirely new China-produced versions, launching them on a world tour. This is an artistic collision of Eastern strength and Western vanguard, a unique practice of physical expression and artistic perception.“Voices in Contemporary Dance - Global Masters’Showcase” invites you to this artistic feast!
I Wonder Where the Dreams I Don’t Remember Go poetically explores time, space, and physical forces, propelling the imagination into new realms.
Choreographers: Yoann Bourgeois & Marie Bourgeois
Full of ingenious uses of space, sound, and stage design, Cacti explores how we observe art and the compulsion to analyze and “understand” it. It is a modern dance satire—witty, rhythmically brisk, and laced with self-irony.
Choreographer: Alexander Ekman
Minus 16, was originally created in 1999, condenses the essence of several of Naharin’s previous works. It stands as one of his most representative pieces and a consummation of his Gaga technique.
Choreographer: Ohad Naharin
