Contemporary Hungarian choreographer riffs on ancient 'Tao Te Ching'

The classic Chinese text of the "Tao Te Ching" serves as inspiration for an intensely physical duet coming to Bedlam Lowertown for a one-night-only performance. Created by acclaimed Hungarian choreographer Ferenc Fehér and presented by international artist exchange Link Vostok, the piece riffs on the "Tao Te" of the ancient work's title — translating, roughly, as "the path of virtue." Searching for the harmony between a meaningful life and the failures that inevitably occur along the way, Fehér's work features two male dancers moving through a series of conflicts and inner struggles.
