Deeply rooted and renowned in Taiwan's contemporary dance landscape, HORSE marks its 20th anniversary in 2026 with Big Dance.This milestone production is choreographed by SU Wei-Chia, costume consultant Lin Ching-Ju and One Litre Sound, serving as percussion co-creators and live performers.
The cast brings together the company’s three founding members—CHEN Wu-Kang, SU Wei-Chia, and CHOU Shu-Yi—alongside steadfast collaborators YEH Ming-Hua, FANG Yu-Ting, and CHEN Pei-Rong. They are joined on stage by six younger-generation dancers: HSIEH Chih-Ying, CHENG Tzu-Tung, HSUEH Ren-Kai, TSAI Yun-Ting, CHEN Yu-Jing, and XIA Zhen-Wei.Drawing upon 20 years of profound experience and artistic evolution, the piece interweaves echoes of a classic past, musings on the present, and interrogations into the future of dance.
“From the fragments of our works, spanning our inception to the present day, we gather the pieces to distil the profound essence of our existence; from the playfulness of Velocity, the purity of Bones, and the hope and despair of Growing Up, we discovered the differences within I, cultivated the courage of Successor, embraced the close bond of the Two Men around us, cast aside the attitude of Playdead, uncovered FreeSteps through the process of refinement, and came to understand the god of dance within every pivot and turn. As it turns out, the dances we have been performing for 20 years have long been deeply embedded in our bodies, in our minds, and beneath our feet.”
HORSE transitioned from collective creation in its first decade to individual exploration in its second. Now, the principal creator SU Wei-Chia brings together 12 mid-career and up-and-coming dancers to present Big Dance, a wild celebration of dance. Using the physical body to challenge “structure”—one of the most important elements of choreography—they unleash a fresh wave of visual and sensory impact. As energy continuously flows, fractures, collides, and overlaps, the piece probes the absolute limits of the human body, revealing a profound contemplation on the individual and the collective, the historical and the yet-to-come.
