First of all, this show is not your typical "sit back and watch dance" type of thing. Be prepared to enter a whole different world. Your universe is transformed into a place of poetry in motion, of holiness, of image and spirit and feeling through stark and at times even disturbing, often slow-motion movement that nonetheless can sometimes catch you quite off-guard and by complete surprise. Elemental, organic, raw, but -- in the words of the artistic director/choreographer Lin Hwai-min in the Q and A after the show, always "healthy," the work takes your experience of Time and completely changes it by seemingly magical, mystical combinations of movement and stillness. Life, death, love, reincarnation, nature, humanity-- Time itself-- these are themes far too many, let alone large, for a single work to take on; yet Songs of the Wanderers does take them on, carry them through, along with you, the audience, and when all disembark by the end of the journey, the travel most assuredly has been fulfilling and fulfilled.
It's a meditative masterpiece, so don't expect tutus or contemporary Western fare. Set your mind for something that reaches from the ancient East right through to your current dreams, and you might set off with this amazing company right from the start. They absolutely are 100% so never fear; you'll never be unguided; and believe me--it's worth the trip.
