"A heart-stopping moment of wonder and discovery." - The Australian

Surrender to ecstatic rhythms in 13 & 14, two otherworldly dance works from the Beijing-based TAO Dance Theater, led by choreographer Tao Ye.

In 13, grey-cloaked dancers huddle into an elusive whole, striving for togetherness even as some dancers fall away (only to be heroically folded back inside the group). In 14, the dancers, dressed in colourful kimonos, perform in stunning synchronicity with a degree of precision both astonishing and profound.

Tao Ye’s choreography suspends the soul in a state of unison unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. He invites you to, for just a moment, share in one language, one ritual, one sacred act: the movement of the body.

“Sustained and mesmerically beautiful. Like a door into an alternate reality”
