B-Dance

Alice

In a labyrinth of mirrors with artistic projections and drawings in black and white ink, poetry and fairy tales, western and eastern culture blend together.

With impressive choreography, haute couture costumes and elegant scenery, Alice transports us to a very special wonderland, endowed with a strange and markedly psychological atmosphere.

In this international collaboration between Po-Cheng Tsai's B-Dance company and Kathleen McNurney's Tanz Luzerner Theater, the choreographer reimagines this classic children's book, where a fantastic and wonderful world meets the art of Zen.

“Po-Cheng Tsai's dance is highly dynamic. [Il] Combines East Asian dance styles with Western contemporary dance. Or ballet, hip-hop, jazz and tai chi, martial arts, kung-fu and Chinese folk dance. Acrobatics fill the space: legs move like sharp razors and then again like flowing waves.” Edith Arnold, reviewer for the Luzerner Zeitung
