Taiwan’s contemporary dance troupe returns to Zellerbach Hall following its 2016 performances of Rice. 13 Tongues (2016) is a recent work by Cloud Gate’s new artistic director Cheng Tsung-lung that translates his childhood memories of the street life of Taipei into a fantasy world, as neon lights and urban sounds mingle with the city’s religious rites and festive parades. Like Rice, 13 Tongues mines the lived experiences and everyday surroundings of Taiwanese people to create a movement vocabulary, steeped in the company’s distinctive blend of modern dance, ballet, martial arts, and qigong.
