Cloud Gate Theatre of Taiwan's seductive and commanding Cursive II is the result of a long journey into the ancient practice of movement and spirituality. By blending even more tai chi into this familiar dance idiom, Lin Hwai-min, choreographer of the highly acclaimed Moon Water and Bamboo Dreams, has created an achingly beautiful work in monochrome tones. Cursive II is punctuated by variations in energy and complexity, driven by Lin's deeply poignant collageof another buddhist, John Cage. Cursive II is an exquisite meditation on the balancing of opposites, presented in aura of mesmerising minimalism.
