Taiwan’s Cloud Gate Theatre is set to perform its latest dance production, called “Formosa”, in Russia. This will be the group’s final performance abroad under the supervision of its founder, Lin Hwai-min, who’s set to retire this year.

Lin founded Cloud Gate Theatre in 1973. The group has since performed a number of shows that have been highly acclaimed for mixing contemporary and traditional Chinese cultural elements.

The troupe’s latest production, “Formosa”, blends modern choreography with poetry, history, and video graphics to present a side of everyday life in Taiwan. The production has already received high praise from publications from Germany and the UK following its 2018 European tour.    [SOURCE]
