Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall
The work of extraordinary young dancer and choreographer Tao Ye unites theater, soundscapes, the visual arts, and silence to riveting effect; Vogue writes that “the moment they begin to move, the entire space transforms.”
For this New York appearance, TAO presents two works. One of these, called 2, is a duet developed from the rhythms of the spoken word; the performers recorded their own conversations during rehearsal and daily life to develop the accompanying soundscape with Chinese folk-rock musician-composer Xiao He. The resulting performance is both hypnotic and thought-provoking, as virtuosic patterns emerge from minimalistic movements to represent two souls in conversation. The other work, 4, is the company’s newest creation, a high-impact and intensely physical piece for four women seen here in its North American premiere.
