The Guling Avant-Garde Theatre (
The experimental choreography will be performed by dancers wearing plastic covers over their eyes, and who prepared for the piece by training for a year while blindfolded.
The piece premiered in 2000 in southern France and the troupe soon after received invitations to perform at major European art festivals.
The two dancers accompanying Anne-Marie Pascoli, the founder of the company, have previously performed in Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
The backdrop for the dance is a stage covered with plastic sheets upon which marker points have been laid out that act as reference points for the dancers.
Earlier this week the dancers co-hosted a series of workshops for the visually impaired with French dancer Emilie Hernandez, who has previously presented the work Skin of the Soul with blind performers at the National Experimental Theater.
The Compagnie Pascoli dance company will also be performing at the Taipei Artists Village on Dec. 17.
Until Dec. 15 the Cultural and Education Foundation for the Blind is holding two exhibitions on level two of the Guling Avant-Garde Theatre. These are the Visually-Impaired Children's Ceramics Art Exhibition and the Tools for the Visually-Impaired Exhibition.
The company will perform at the Guling Avant-Garde Theatre, 3F, 2, Ln 5, Guling St, Taipei (
