∞ - Infinite Cycle

Endless mountain ranges, wandering in ancient rhythms.

 

"∞- Infinite cycle": Kuo-Shin Chuang Pangcah Dance Theatre Annual Production in 2023. Choreographer Kuo-Shin Chuang presents a unique and profound exploration of the captivating dances of Taiwan's Tafalong community, a part of the Pangcah People in Hualien. This tradition is a treasured cultural heritage known as "ilisin" or Harvest Festival. Today, only a handful of sacred songs from this tradition remain, making the dances an invaluable part of their cultural legacy.

Each song intricately corresponds to specific choreographed movements, meticulously executed in a precise sequence during the ritual. Kuo-Shin Chuang's "∞-Infinite cycle" delves into a triad of meanings: the ilisin ceremony itself, the sacred songs, and the profound language of physical expression. This production aims to explore the underlying philosophical and spiritual concept of infinite cycles, which resonates at the core of ilisin and embodies the enduring cultural legacy of the Pangcah people.
