This double bill from the TAO Dance Theater’s Numerical Series begins with a celebration of the dragon, a bringer of good look in China. Inspired by the Chinese dragon dance Loong, sixteen black-clad dancers from Beijing swirl through colourful light in the first piece, 16. And the seventeen bodies in 17, wearing black and white, activate their voices along with their movements, thereby turning themselves into a “mobile sound system”. With his minimalist yet virtuoso dance style, choreographer Tao Ye has found a path between tradition and futurism that brings the body and the mind into harmony.
