Chapter 2 | Listen — Water Is Telling a Story
An eternity before and after
Bare Feet Dance Theatre
The work takes place along Baiyu Waterfall, where sound, mist, and terrain shape the conditions of perception.
Dancers move between water, rock, and ground, responding directly to environmental forces. Movement is not imposed but adjusted moment by moment.
As the sound of the waterfall intensifies, distinction between body and environment begins to soften. Perception becomes immersive, shaped by vibration, humidity, and flow.
What emerges is not representation, but a gradual merging of presence and landscape.

Bare Feet Dance Theatre is a Taiwan-based company founded in 2012, with a focus on field-based research and bodily engagement with natural and cultural environments. Its practice draws from ritual traditions, landscape studies, and embodied knowledge systems.
The company explores the relationship between body, environment, and perception, often working with concepts of transformation, presence, and material sensitivity.
