In Paiwan, “varhung” not only refers to the “heart” but also the expression of inner emotions. The concept of “voice” is repeated and expanded in the works of Tjimur Dance Theatre and is even used as a metaphor for “life.” Varhung: The Body of Sound is the dance troupe’s exploration of ancient culture through “integrating song with dance,” “guidance through voice,” “breathing transformation,” and “voice creation,” an exhibition with performing arts at its core. The bodies and steps of the dancers are guided with their breaths, responding to their modesty and love towards the land by sinking the bodyweight to create unique “bodily movements,” echoing the chanting with movements of the body, seeping deep into the essence of life. Varhung: The Body of Sound is an exploration of the origin of life and the intertwinement of the heart, each other, tradition, and the contemporary, an ode to the intimacy between humans and the land.
