Shimmering Production - Islands by WANG Yeu-kwn
A Dual Encounter Between Two Islands
The Legend of a Fisherman Seeking His True Self
On a quest to unearth the story of his own name, WANG Yeu-kwn sets sail for the southeastern island nations, where he engages Indonesian dancer Danang Pamungkas in a dialogue through body and life experiences. They explore the weight of bodies anchored to land and air, where identity, like the shifting shores, ebbs and flows with the tides. From solitary striving to kindred companions, we glimpse the island's strength that carries its people with a balance of gentleness and resilience. Perhaps, only when we venture beyond the island do we begin to know ourselves.
WANG Yeu-kwn is a prominent figure on the international dance scene, and the first Taiwanese artist to simultaneously win both the Jury Prize and the Architanz Artist Support Prize at the Yokohama Dance Collection in Japan. He is also the first Taiwanese choreographer to be shortlisted for the prestigious Emerging Choreographer category of The Sadler's Wells Rose International Dance Prize in London. Islands began its journey in 2019 as part of Cloud Gate's Wanderer Project and presented its early-stage work (formerly titled Island Of ____) in 2022 at the Taiwan Dance Platform in Weiwuying, earning dual recognition from the Federation for Asian Cultural Promotion (FACP) under the Clare C. & Friends Fellowship. Following its highly acclaimed premiere at the 2024 Artquake In Autumn festival at the National Theater and Concert Hall, the piece garnered international attention. In 2025, it returns to the southern island to continue this remarkable journey.
