BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Nine Songs, a cycle of poems written by Qu Yuan some 2,300 years ago, is considered a pinnacle of classical Chinese literature. Drawing on the ancient imagery and sensibilities, Lin Hwai-min creates a thoroughly contemporary ritual, in which distant and recent pasts collide.

Masked shamans, playing the roles of Gods and Goddesses enact otherworldly rites to music from India, Tibet, Java, Japan and indigenous tribes of Taiwan. Their dances are interspersed with appearances of people in contemporary dress: a man in a modern-day suite with luggage calmly crosses the stage; young men on bicycles dash through the crowd; scores of protesters scurry for cover from blazing searchlights.

The East and the West, the Past and the Present, give rise to an aesthetic that has won Nine Songs the acclaim of "a perfect choreographic paradigm for a true intercultural dance form." (Ballet International)

Received to great acclaim at the Vienna International Dance Festival, the Next Wave Festival in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., the Sydney 2000 Olympic Arts Festival, and major cities in Germany, Canada and the United States, Nine Songs was hailed by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as "one of the most important dance works of our time."
