PROGRAM

Luna

Luna explores the truest form of man. Choreographed by Bulareyaung Pagarlava, dancers trek and search in the mountain mist under the moonlight, singing soul-guiding chants while demonstrating a pure body gait of labor. Pagarlava and the dancers went deep into the mountains in central Taiwan to learn how to survive in the mountainous forests of the Luluna village of the Bunun tribe in Nantou County. They collaborated with the Luluna Bunun Choir and sang ancient Bunun chants, which have been listed as a Cultural Heritage in Taiwan. From daily chants to the "exploit-boasting" acts of traditional hunters, they incorporate dance arts into the Bunun culture to reflect the tradition, reflect the contemporary, and allow dancers to explore and return to their inner selves.
