Taiwan's prestigious dance troupe Cloud Gate 2 performed a new dance "13 Tongues," at a press conference in Taipei on Wednesday.
Commissioned by the 2016 Taiwan International Festival of Arts, "13 Tongues" choreographed by Cheng Tsung-lung will be performed in Taipei during March 11-13, 2016.
Cheng's choreography is inspired by a legendary figure in the 1960s from Bangka, the oldest district and once the most prosperous area in Taipei. “Thirteen Tongues” was a street artist renowned for his marvelous acts of telling stories of the past and present by imitating multiple roles such as male and female, old and young.
