Jury’ Comment for the Annual Performing Arts Award Winner

Winner: Century Contemporary Dance Company—“Igor Stravinsky”Les Noces/Le Sacre du Printemps

“Igor Stravinsky”Les Noces/Le Sacre du Printemps is a grand production of significant depth. The dancers of Century Contemporary Dance Company had to overcome the challenges inherent in the representation of desire and lust, and all artists needed to create new performance and technical language in response to the demanding complexity of Stravinsky’s music, which they accomplished brilliantly. “Igor Stravinsky”Les Noces/Le Sacre du Printemps marks an important breakthrough for Yao, Shu-fen and Century Contemporary Dance Company. This production for Taiwan culture and the choreographer parallels beautifully the shattering and the groundbreaking moment this music created for Stravinsky and his audience. This work also significantly challenges social issues around gender and representation of female sexuality in the Taiwanese context.
