Formosa is the latest creation of Lin Hwai-min, founder of Taiwan’s foremost modern-dance ensemble, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre. Dancing in front of a large backdrop of moving Chinese characters, the performers create riveting scenes representing the many vicissitudes of this constantly changing island.
Quatuor Hermès is a string quartet from France whose young members have received praise for their maturity and finesse. In 2012 they took the top prize in New York’s prestigious Young Concert Artists International Auditions. As part of this recital the group will perform Death and the Maiden , String Quartet No. 14 by Franz Peter Schubert.
Enter a world where the lines between reality and virtual reality are blurred. With the help of the latest technology, spaces are created that allow visitors to experience life on this planet hundreds of millions of years ago, and to better understand the evolution of living creatures. The many interactive features make visiting this exhibition an especially fun experience.
