Overview

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre presents a double bill of contemporary dance works — A Blue Place and Come — at the Chiayi County Performing Arts Center.
These two contrasting yet complementary pieces invite the audience into a poetic dialogue between stillness and movement, introspection and connection, revealing the depth and refinement of Cloud Gate’s unique choreographic language.

Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, one of Asia’s most renowned contemporary dance companies, brings to the stage a double dance program featuring A Blue Place and Come.
Though distinct in mood and form, these two works are united by a deep exploration of the human inner world, space, and the body’s relationship to time and emotion.

A Blue Place unfolds as a meditative journey — a space of calm reflection where movement emerges with restraint, precision, and quiet intensity. The choreography evokes a sense of openness and contemplation, allowing the audience to enter a realm of subtle emotional resonance.

In contrast, Come offers a more dynamic and intimate perspective. Through fluid motion and expressive physicality, the work explores themes of encounter, presence, and connection. The dancers’ interactions create a vivid emotional landscape, balancing vulnerability and strength.

Presented at the Chiayi County Performing Arts Center, this double bill showcases Cloud Gate’s signature fusion of Eastern philosophy and contemporary movement, offering audiences a profound and immersive dance experience marked by elegance, depth, and timeless beauty.

Venue Info

Location   No. 1, Sanduo 1st Road, Fengshan District

The Concert Hall features a unique vineyard style. The unique design allows audience at various heights to enjoy the same optimal acoustic and visual effects, taking care of each and every member in the audience. The seating arrangement encircles the stage, bringing the audience closer to the stage for more intimate experiences with conductors and performers.

Located next to the Weiwuying Metropolitan Park in Fengshan District, the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying) sits on a 9.9 hectare lot and occupies a floor area of 3.3 hectares.Inspired by the beauty of the local banyan trees and their iconic canopies of leaves, architect Francine Houben's design is an undulating structure composed of a unique skin that can withstand the humidity and salinity in Kaohsiung – a port city – thanks to a collaborative effort with the city's shipbuilders, and a roof under which generous free spaces can flow. In consideration of southern Taiwan's tropical climate and people's love for outdoor night activities, the Center has a fence-free plaza on the grounds that is accessible 24 hours a day for strolling, relaxing and much more, creating a breezy and welcoming space in which theater and music become part of everyday life. The Center opened on October 13th 2018 and is now operating all-year round , developing and bringing local as well as international talents to southern Taiwan.

The main stage consists of 5 rows of a total of 15 orchestra lifts. Hung above the stage are acoustic shells that can be lowered or raised, which come with three pre-set positions at 9m, 14m and 17.8m, to go along with various requirements of musical performances and sizes of bands. The height and angle of the acoustic shells can also be freely adjusted to meet any needs, ensuring that audience can enjoy sounds of the best quality.

The pipe organ at the Concert Hall is manufactured by Johannes Klais Orgelbau. The product of the century-old German manufacturer consists of 9,085 pipes, making it the largest pipe organ in Taiwan. The exterior design is consistent with the style of the interior, and the asymmetrical arrangement of the symphonic organ and echo organ creates unprecedented sensational impact to the audience.
