Joint performance by Sangpuy x Bulareyaung Dance Company
Members of the Bulareyaung Dance Company have long explored Taiwan's indigenous communities in the mountains and along the coast and studied traditional songs with elders, transforming what they have observed and learned into contemporary choreography that is innovated from tradition. The dancers' powerful and beautiful physical aesthetics convey their love for their land and reverence for their culture, moving contemporary audiences and stunning the international art world.
Sangpuy, a singer from an ancient community of the indigenous Pinuyumayan tribe in Taitung County, brings out the melodies that are the soul of traditional songs, while injecting them with contemporary rhythms. He sings from the heart, with the emotion and power of his voice having been felt by countless audiences.
About Bulareyaung Dance Company
