Two nights of Taiwanese Chinese show at Ruben Dario National Theatre.
This is the first time that the Diablolo Dance Theatre of Taiwan, China, visits Nicaragua. The Main Hall at the Ruben Dario National Theatre will host the staging of "Ocean Heart", which will be presented on Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th of September. 16 dancers will offer a show of juggling and dance techniques, immersed in a theatrical character play and technologically accompanied in lighting and audiovisual projections in 3D
Le-Chun Li, director of the group, said the Diabolo (instrument used by jugglers consisting of a spool which is operated by a rope, as shown in the photo), is very proper of children and that their story can be traced back to over a hundred years ago. In Taiwan, this art form original of Continental China, and from then on it was adapted to their culture.
"Ocean Heart" is a play that represents a creative and magical world where fish interact: geniuses in bubbles, a clueless clown fish, a daring shark and a beautiful fish princess. Each artist will use the diabolo during the presentation accompanied by lighting and 3D projection in order to expand technologically its creative range on stage.
