The up-and-coming choreographer Hsieh Yi-Chun makes an impressive international debut with a brand-new ensemble dance about collective ritual and individual will. Inspired by temple processions and childhood memories, her mesmerizing sextet uses a flow of dynamic movement to pose a key question: 'What anchors our faith in an ever-changing world?' Merging past and present, sacred and secular, tradition and modernity, this sensitive and searching production surges with a heightened sense of spirituality. At the same time it is deeply rooted in communal humanity. The result is cross-cultural dance of great power and universal resonance.

Founded in 2018, Chun Dance is a Taiwanese contemporary dance company based in Taoyuan. United by the belief that dance is a universal language that transcends cultural barriers and fosters human connection, we uphold the motto “Dance to live, Live to Dance.” Our creative inspiration is drawn from contemporary social issues and seek to resonate with everyday life experiences. Currently, we are exploring themes such as cultural diversity in the East, women’s roles in society and the development of our own dance vocabulary through artistic creation.
