In 2020, on Cheng Tsung-lung’s sixth day as artistic director of Cloud Gate Dance Theatre, the company set off on a tour of Europe to perform its 2019 work 13 Tongues. That same year Cheng choreographed Sounding Light, a challenging work in which the performers dance while producing sounds, either synchronizing both elements or playing out a tug of war between them. One critic praised it as “a beautifully crafted work and one that will bear repeated viewings.”
