“When you’re talking about Cloud Gate, ‘magic’ is not too strong a word.” Effusive praise from no less a source than Time Out magazine. Formed in Taiwan in 1973, Cloud Gate known for transforming ancient aesthetics into a thrilling and modern celebration of motion. 13 Tongues is inspired by artistic director Cheng Tsung-lung’s childhood and has been lauded as “a sensationally big, indulgent, and visually arresting expression of cultural memory” (The Times) similar to the story-ballet spectacle stylings of Mondavi Center favorites Ballet Preljocaj or Akram Khan.
