The sexy, avant-garde Iceland Dance Company will make its Shanghai debut Sunday with works about love. The laugh-a-minute Spanish physical comedy trio Tricicle will perform "Sit," the history of the chair, from May 5-7.
Probably the furthest European country from China, Iceland is known to most Chinese as the home of pop star Bjork and a land where we can see the magnificent Northern lights.
As a matter of fact, the Northern European country has also cultivated artistic forms with a unique Icelandic flavor.
Tomorrow night, the Iceland Dance Company will make its debut in Shanghai and perform two of its award-winning modern dance works under the universal theme of love.
In "Luna" (2004 Icelandic "Dance Award" and "Best Dance Piece"), a group of young people dance the waltz of life under the moonlight to cherish their youthful dreams and burning passion. Images of love, longing, hope and joy are orchestrated into a dreamlike gypsy serenade. "Happy new Year" fuses theatrical humor and sarcasm into a choreography tailor-made for the dancers. The performance delights the senses and challenges the intellect.
