The Festival of San Javier presents to the Tao Dance Theater, the company that is revolutionizing from China the world of the contemporary dance
The corporal expression that uses the dance to transmit emotions takes a step further in the hands of the prestigious Chinese choreographer Tao Ye that this morning presented in San Javier the participation of his company, Tao Dance Theater at the 48th International Festival of Theater, Music and Dance of San Javier, with the premiere in Spain of his choreographies 6 and 7.
Tao Ye, whose language has revolutionized contemporary dance in China and in the world, is part of the research and knowledge of the human anatomy and its possibilities of movement to create its untitled choreographies with which only gives clues about the number of Dancers involved in each.
Tao Ye, who was accompanied by the director of the Festival David Martinez and the producer and representative of the company in Spain, Pilar de Yzaguirre, has developed his own style, qualified as minimalist and breakthrough with differentiating elements such as the selection of dancers without baggage, "Uncontaminated", whom he himself instructs in his conception of dance.
He also does not move the music already known, but first creates the choreography and later its head composer, Xiao He, with which he has the maximum complicity, creates the original music.
The vocal part of some of the choreographies as the 7 in which music is ignored is the work of Tao Ye who since 2012, is also emerging artist associated with Sadler's Wells, referring to the dance in London.
The Tao Dance Theater, which acts in Spain for the third time (previously it did in Madrid and Barcelona) does it exclusively for the Festival of San Javier and Sagunto, thanks to a collaboration agreement between the two festivals, to present by The first time in our country the choreographies 6, in which part of the spine to extract all the forces of movement from the inside out, and 7 in which it ignores the music, exploiting the vocal design "to give voice to Movement itself. "
Pilar de Yzaguirre warns those who believe that they are going to see a ballet or a show of Chinese reminiscences and is convinced that "the Tao Dance Theater is going to surprise because there is nothing similar at the moment to the avant-garde dance of Tao, Does not leave anyone indifferent ".
Tao Ye studied dance and passed two contemporary dance companies in China before founding his own company in 2008 currently composed by 10 dancers.
Despite his international success, which has led him to more than 40 countries and perform in venues such as the Lincoln Center in New York or the Sydney Opera House, Tao Ye is determined to maintain the company's headquarters in China with Chinese dancers and Not open the company to international dancers, despite the demand it has in this regard.
The referents in the world of dance for Tao Ye are also Chinese and only points to transgender dancer and choreographer Jin Xing, who trained as a man in the demanding dance school of the Chinese Army in which he became a colonel, before Become a woman.
From the Spanish dance he knows flamenco, a genre he admits to admire with his wife, the first dancer of the Tao Dance Theater who has come to have some professional experience related to flamenco.
The director of the Festival David Martínez showed his satisfaction for the privilege of being able to count on the Tao Dance Theater, thanks to the collaboration agreement with the Festival of Sagunto, which will allow us to count on the unique performance in our country of this prestigious company that presents by First time in Spain his choreographies 6 and 7.
