Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan performing "13 Tongues" on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.

With training in meditation, internal martial arts, modern dance, and ballet manifesting in its choreography, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan transforms ancient aesthetics into a thrilling and modern celebration of motion.

The internationally admired contemporary dance company performs "13 Tongues", a work inspired by a legendary 1960s street artist from Taipei, with music ranging from Taiwanese folk songs and Taoist chant to electronica accompanying projections of brilliant colors, shapes, and images. In this fantasy world, dancers gather, interact, separate, and reassemble in a thrilling representation of the clamor of street life.

It was said that “Thirteen Tongues" could conjure up all the Bangka characters — high and low born, sacred and profane, men and women — in the most vivid, dramatic, and fluently imaginative narratives. Cheng’s fascination for “Thirteen Tongues” became his inspiration as he transformed his childhood memories into dance.

Adults tickets range from $25.00-$65.00 and tickets for Virginia Tech student tickets with ID and youth ages 18 & under are $10.00 each.
