The yearning of the lovers separated by fate transcends space while the longing for their brief annual reunion is echoed through time. Originally composed by CHEN Si-Sum with choreography by HSU Hui-Mei, Eternal Love across the Magpie Bridge was a pioneering work for contemporary Taiwanese folk dance in the 1980s. It caused quite a stir after the premiere in 1984 and was brought back on stage during the 1995 Taipei International Dance Festival with sold-out performances. Forty years later, TCO commissioned HUA Li-Mei to update the choreography based on CHU Yun-Song's new orchestration, with additional multimedia and modern stage spectacles. The audience will be treated with a refreshing view of the classical love story which aims for a lingering night that never sleeps.
