SUMMARY:Birdy: Hung Dance (Taiwan)
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$65.00 – Tier 1\n$50.00 – Tier 2\n$35.00 – Tier 3\nMembership program discounts available. \n$15.00 – Student Rate -15 & Under (no membership discount) \nDate and Time:\nNovember 13\, 2026 – 7:30 pm \n  \n\n\n  \nFreedom Has Wings… A powerful contemporary dance rooted in history\, resistance\, and flight.\nBirdy is Hung Dance’s exhilarating call to the wild\, where creatures of a feather move together and fracture apart. Featuring the Ling Zi headpiece\, pheasant tail feathers from traditional Chinese opera symbolizing a warrior’s power\, the work conjures a magpie-inspired vision\, flashing moments of freedom against the cage of history. Drawing from martial arts\, Peking opera\, and cultural symbolism\, the choreography transforms Taiwan’s political and historical complexity into a vivid contemporary dance language. Shifting from tenderness to ferocity\, long feathers extend the body\, at times weapon\, at times whisper\, while dancers flock\, conform\, and resist in a visceral meditation on identity\, control\, and the human desire for freedom. \n  \n\n  \n  \n \nhttps://www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Birdy.mp4\nHung Dance website\nHung Dance Facebook\nHung Dance Instagram \n\nHung Dance (Taiwan) \nPresented with community partner Asian-Canadian Special Events Association \nCreatures of a feather dance together in Birdy\, Hung Dance’s call to the wild. \nEmploying a head piece called “Ling Zi” that incorporates pheasant tail feathers worn in traditional Chinese opera to represent warrior’s power and skill\, Birdy offers up a magpie creation\, concretizing bright bursts of freedom against the weighted cage of history. \nFounded in 2017 by choreographer Lai Hung-Chung\, Hung Dance’s choreographic vocabulary is drawn from martial arts\, Peking opera\, and traditional cultural symbols. Through the prism of performance\, Taiwan’s complex history and political status metamorphize into a thrilling new dance language. \nThe calligraphic eloquence of four-feet long feathers moves from gentleness to violence\, transforming into spears\, whips\, and a blade drawn sharply across the throat. Whether extending the body into space\, wriggling in earnest writing\, or offering a gossamer caress\, the feathers function as a form of punctuation\, leading and echoing movement phrases with the expressive vitality of living things. \nAs the dancers flock together in rippling patterns of conformity and divergence\, rituals of behaviour gleaned from the non-human world\, find their choreographic counterparts. Group think meets the defiance of individual identity\, as self-policing roots out any opposition. What emerges in the tightrope struggle is a universal cry for freedom. \n  \n\n\nAdded experience… theatre after dark!\nPresented alongside the November 13 performance of Birdy\, the Uncaged Soirée is a free public gathering that invites the community into an atmospheric celebration of movement\, sound\, flight\, and transformation. \nPost-Show • 8:30 to 10:30 pm \n  \n  \n\n\nPresenting Sponsor: Emil Anderson

SUMMARY:Cikilaxʷm: Controlled Burn
DESCRIPTION:Price:\n$55.00 – Tier 1\n$42.00 – Tier 2\n$30.00 – Tier 3\nMembership program discounts available. \n$15.00 – Student Rate -15 & Under (no membership discount) \nDate and Time:\nMarch 12\, 2027 – 7:30 pm \n  \n\n\nThis is not a tale of apocalypse\, but of perseverance. Of memory that survives and endures. Of land that remembers how to heal.\nCameron sinkʷə Fraser-Monroe returns with his newest work\, Cikilaxʷm: Controlled Burn\, a full-length narrative ballet that blazes across time and tradition. Featuring an original commissioned score by Cree cellist and composer Cris Derksen\, the work is brought to life through projections by Euro/Omushkego Cree artist Andy Moro and costumes by Navajo/Cherokee designer Asa Benally\, each layering the stage with history and meaning. Set in a dystopian future of endless wildfire seasons\, the ballet follows a young Indigenous firefighter whose beliefs are challenged when he meets Mothkʷ\, a fierce guardian of ancestral knowledge who practices cultural burning. The word cikilaxʷm [tseekiLAHkwum] means “prescribed fire” in nsyilxcən\, the language of the syilx (Okanagan) People\, referring to traditional land practices that nourish the land and community through healing and renewal. \n  \n\n\n \nPresenting Sponsor: Emil Anderson\n \n
