TAO Dance Theatre 6 & 7 21-22 April 2016

Programme

With the works 6 and 7 the choreographer continues Tao Ye to explore the potential of the human body, pushing it to the extreme beyond expectations and limitations.

The dancers move on a dynamic and hypnotising horizon in a shifting lightscape to the music of one of China's leading indie rock artists, Xiao He. At Dansens Hus they showed 6 2014 and now returns fully revised together with the complementary work 7 which continues to explore the possibilities of the body as a synchronised force of nature. The music is now a soundscape composed by the choreographer and created by the voices of the seven dancers as they dance.
