*中央山脈 (Central Mountain Range) is the spinal mountain range in Taiwan. In it, dwells many rare and precious indigenous wisdoms and animals. The work conjures those special beings, and the nostalgia of home's natural landscape and one’s “natural” embodiment in the city-scape. Can we all live through our differences like what mother nature does? The essence of the work questions, "how do we become human together?"

Title: Terrain 长江头 長江頭 (2023)

Dance artists: Huiwang Zhang and Ching-I Chang

Through echoing of each other’s essence, the mirage of Terrain 长江头 長江頭 forms. How do our bodies — moving fields of knowledge, synchronize and syncopate with each other through various distance of mis/understandings? Terrain 长江头 長江頭 is a work-in-process piece genuinely supported by Topaz Arts.
