This Summer at Supervisual Gala of the Kuopio Dance Festival, the Taiwanese contemporary dance group B.Dance will bring one of its most successful pieces “Floating Flowers”, which is inspired by a traditional Taiwanese religious celebration that takes place at the Ghost Festival, one of the most beautiful and popular Buddhist ceremonies in the country. Floating lanterns placed on water are meant to worship deities, to send away bad luck, and bring happiness. In Southeast Asian culture, the lanterns are to deliver wishes and pay your respects to the deceased.
Choreographer Po-Cheng Tsai’s choreographic language is based on Asian traditions, martial arts and contemporary dance techniques. In this atmospheric work, which has charmed audiences all over the world, dancers dressed in tulle dance like illuminated lanterns on the water.
Kuopio Dance Festival is the biggest, oldest and most famous dance festival in the Nordic Countries. Supervisual Gala brings international and Finnish dance stars to Kuopio. During the evening, you can admire the most diverse dance styles, from upbeat step to contemporary dance. The Gala has become Kuopio Dance Festival’s classic, offering unforgettable experience full of top-class performers, stunning choreography and a magical atmosphere!
