“Renaissance of its Ashes” A journey of life condensation is a ritual of pain.
The dancers use their twisted bodies to interpret the most primitive memories engraved in the flesh, exploring the origins of Taiwanese culture. The relationship between gods and humans is like a symbiosis between plants, growing and declining.
MeimageDance was founded in 2010 by He Xiao-mei. The works are diverse, unique, and sparkle with distinct female images. The work “New Paradise of Silent Island” assembles the prosperity, golden light, wild beauty and bustle of Taiwan’s contemporary nature, nakedly presenting close-ups of every pulsating body in life. She always knows how to touch the most moving foundation of life in the soul with different approaches, hot and cold.
In recent years, she has also utilized technology and opened a new chapter in virtual and real environments.
The creations of the “Focus Project” series includes: “From Flesh to Virtual: Renaissance of its Ashes “, VR “Colorful Forests-VR Lin Tou~Sister”, and “Barbie’s Monologue VR”. Starting from 2023, with the “March of Silent Island” project, she has led everyone out of Taiwan and out of the theater, and invited local formations to dance at temple courts, creating a “dance tradition from now on”.
