Founded in 2017 by LAI Hung-chung, Taiwan's Hung Dance seamlessly fuses Peking Opera, Tai Chi, and contemporary dance. Their award-winning production Birdy has captivated audiences worldwide, with 21 sold-out performances at Avignon OFF and a prominent spot at the 91st American Dance Festival (ADF). The piece incorporates symbolic elements such as the Ling Zi and Rattan pole, delving into profound themes of freedom, constraint, and identity.

With its blend of traditional and modern influences, Birdy speaks to the human experience with a poetic intensity, offering a moving reflection on the complexities of personal and cultural expression.

Join us for this mesmerizing Asian dance spectacle on November 19 when the Newman Center Presents Hung Dance - BIRDY! 🌹

Acclaimed Grammy Award-winning mandolinist, singer, songwriter, composer, and MacArthur Fellow recipient of the prestigious “Genius Grant”, Chris Thile is a multifaceted musical talent, described by The Guardian as "that rare being: an all-round musician,” and hailed by NPR as a "genre-defying musical genius."

Thile is a founding member of the highly influential string bands Punch Brothers and Nickel Creek, and has collaborated with countless luminaries from Yo-Yo Ma to Fiona Apple to Brad Mehldau. For four years, Thile hosted public radio favorite Live from Here with Chris Thile (formerly known as A Prairie Home Companion). With his broad outlook, Thile creates a distinctly American canon and a new musical aesthetic for performers and audiences alike, giving the listener “one joyous arc, with the linear melody and vertical harmony blurring into a single web of gossamer beauty” (New York Times).

Come see Chris Thile at the Newman Center on January 15, 2026! Get your tickets and reserve your seats ahead of time – this performance is expected to sell out!🌹
