Introduction

Legend says that when the first rays of sunlight scatter on the surface of the sea , we can have a magical vision, as if the ocean is smiling at us. If we make a wish to the ocean, we can have blessings from the ocean, the sun and the guardian angels. Thus we can enjoy health, peace and happiness, as well as have all our wishes come true.

Being the children of Formosa, the beautiful island, we also have blessings from the ocean and the sun. If we believe in each other, trust each other, and welcome the first rays of sunlight together, we may also have the legendary blessings of health, peace and happiness as well as the power to make all our wishes come true. Let us pray that we will all be showered with the natural blessings and regain the angelical innocence we used to have in childhood. Just as:

We make our wishes facing the morning light. The bouncing diabolo draws the lines of ocean waves. The energizing, pivoting diabolo signifies the swirling protecting power From the ocean, the sun and the guardian angels. The happily spinning diabolo symbolizes the joys surrounding usJust as the ocean embraces us Giving us boundless motherly guardianship. We are bathed in contentment and appreciation. In return we embrace the universe with compassion. Let us share all our joys with each other And bring our hopes to fruition.

The Team

Diabolo Dance Theatre began as a simple dream. Back in 1986, a group of young diabolo artists came together to share their passion. Based on their technical skills and artistic creativity, they sought a new style of performance to take diabolo dance beyond imagination. Diabolo Dance Theatre has performed more than 300 shows in over 20 countries around the world, including at landmark theaters and arenas such as the Taipei National Theater, New York Lincoln Center, Hummingbird Arts Center in Canada, and Aichi Expo Dome in Japan. Looking to the future, Diabolo Dance Theatre continues to develop its original dream, sharing its passion and happiness with people of different languages and cultures. Welcome to yet another unmissable performance from Diabolo Dance Theatre.

Enjoy the show.
