The choreographer William Forsythe is an indispensable figure in the history of contemporary dance. A Quiet Evening of Dance" (premiered in London, 2018), co-produced with the world's leading theaters and festivals in the performing arts, will be presented with a new duo in the main part. Compared to the previous Forsythe's works, this work is performed by five elite dancers who are not only trained in ballet and contemporary dance, but also dancers who have a background in street dance, etc., and whom Forsythe himself trusts the most as company members. Should be seen by all kinds of dance fans, from ballet to contemporary dance. The simplicity of the stage and costumes enhances the beauty of the dancers' movements and bodies, inviting the audience into Forsythe's unique worldview.
