“Thirteen Tongues” is the representing piece of Cloud Gate’s Artistic Director, Cheng Tsung-lung. This piece draws inspiration from the legendary figures of the Monga streets in Taiwan in the 60s, the “Thirteen Tongues”. It incorporates classic songs, spells, screaming bodies, and other sounds to bring the audience back to the scenes of stories told by your parents and grandparents. “Thirteen Tongues” premiered in 2016 at the National Theater and Concert Hall and have since been performed at Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, Théâtre National de la Danse Chaillot in Paris, Dansens Hus in Stockholm, National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, and other major international performance halls. The collaboration with singer 9m88 will bring a unique “Thirteen Tongues” to Chishang. The combination between refined body language and voice is something to look forward to.
