About Carmina Burana

The dance Carmina Burana , choreographed by Liu Feng-shueh, is based on the cantata Carmina Burana composed by Carl Orff, a modern German Composer. The lyrics of the cantata is based on medieval poems, mostly love songs, by anonymous monks or bards in the 13th and 14th centuries. The lyrics reflected what people feel at the time, including odes of secular life, religious thoughts, and social satire. First performed in 1937, the cantata became very popular since the work is rhythmically catchy and full of vivacity of life. The structure of the dance Carmina Burana consists of four parts: (1) Prologue, (2) The Face of Spring, (3) In the Tavern, and (4) The Court of Love. The dance portrays the spiritual journey of a group of highly idealistic young priests who were building a spiritual palace for the world. After breaking the rules, escaping from bondages, releasing their inhibitions, and indulging in secular life, they return to where it all started – persistence and spirituality.

About Feng-shueh Liu's work 103 Carmina Burana

On November 13, 1992, Carmina Burana premiered at the National Theater. It was the first large-scale art performance production in Taiwan by Taiwan's top artists in dance troupes, orchestras, and choirs. From 1992 to 2006, Carmina Burana completed 48 formal performances in seven stages. In 1992, it performed 10 premieres and touring performances. In 1993, it was invited by the China Dance Association to attend the Cross-strait Dance and Art Performances Exchange and performed four tours in Shanghai, Chengdu, and Guangzhou, initiating the beginning of Taiwan's modern dance troupe's commercial performances in Mainland China. In 1995, it was invited to give an opening performance at the Taipei City Government Family theatre at the Taipei International Dance Festival to pay tribute to Carl Orff's 100th birthday. From 1997 to 1998, it participated in the campus tour of the performing arts team of the Council for Cultural Affairs: “Art Tour”, “spiritual journey”, “east of beauty”. In 2006, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Neo-Classic Dance Company, the dance company performed Carmina Burana again. In November 2006, it was invited to perform outdoors at Daan Forest Park music platform at the Taipei Arts Festival and the unveiling ceremony of the Neo-Classic trail and other activities, and accepted the praise of the Taipei City Government. In 2007, at the invitation of Miaoli County Government, they were invited to perform Carmina Burana in Miaoli Arena as an additional performance of the essence reproduction. Thus, Carmina Burana ended its performance temporarily.

The first performance of Carmina Burana evoked an extremely high topic. At that time, Taiwan's performing arts did not have so many performers on the stage at the same time. The three teams of the dance group, orchestra, and choir could do the best coordination at the same time, which was regarded as an impossible task at that time. The performance of the three teams and the integrity of the work during the show became a hot topic in art and cultural circles. The National Theater, which had just been established for five years then and was opened in 1987, conducted the first high load integration test of the facilities and performance. At that time, it could be imagined how the audience was shocked when they saw this performance. Rong Dachao, an art critic, pointed out that "Carmina Burana is a rare achievement in terms of the cooperation among the creative motivation, the level of the dancers and the performance of the orchestra and the choir. It is really gratifying that such an integrated and professional music and dance performance can be produced with Taiwan's current cultural foundation as it has reached international standards.”
