DANCING HOME

A choreographer who left his Indigenous community at a young age to pursue dance returns home to create with Indigenous dancers—rekindling his lost sense of belonging and rediscovering himself through movement.

At the peak of his career as a choreographer, Bulareyaung felt lost. He returned to Taitung to work with young indigenous performers. These mostly untrained dancers are fulfilling their dreams in their homeland, and their free-spirited personalities remind him of his youth. Surrounded by dancers who feel like family, Bulareyaung gradually discovers that returning to his indigenous community through dance rekindles the child within him.
