Taiwan's Cloud Gate Dance Theatre to Perform a Double Bill at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City on November 17
Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan will perform for one night only at 7:30 p.m. on November 17 at Kingsbury Hall at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. The performance is part of the UtahPresents 2026-27 season and of the university's International Education Week, and will feature a double bill of Blue Hour and Beckoning, both choreographed by artistic director Cheng Tsung-lung.
Founded in 1973 and named after the oldest known dance in China, Cloud Gate is widely regarded as the first contemporary dance company in the Chinese-speaking world. Since Cheng Tsung-lung became artistic director, the company's training has incorporated more diverse movement vocabularies, including street dance.
University of Utah students can buy tickets for just $5 with an Arts Pass, and general admission starts at $15, with details on the UtahPresents website. The tour is supported in part by Taiwan's Ministry of Culture. The stop is a major leg of Cloud Gate's U.S. tour this month and a rare chance for Salt Lake City audiences to see Chinese-language contemporary dance up close.
