Taiwan's celebrated Legend Lin Dance Theatre is going to perform during the 2018 PuSh International Performing Arts Festival in the Canadian debut of The Eternal Tides.
The Eternal Tides is a momentous occasion - an adventure in beauty unlike anything seen before on the PuSh stage. In her Canadian debut, choreographer Lin Lee-Chen folds age-old rituals, customs and ceremonial rites into her radical vision, and the result is epic. The show is, above all, a tribute to water: the ocean that encloses the island of Taiwan, and the cycle of renewal it is part of. Using song, dance and striking stage design, Lin evokes the mythology of these elements.
