About the Program
This program is in partnership with Vancouver International Film Festival
At the peak of his choreography career, Bulareyaung felt lost. He returned to his hometown, Taitung, to work with young Indigenous performers, creating art inspired by their lives. These mostly untrained dancers pursued their dreams in their homeland, and their free-spirited personalities reminded him of his own youth. Surrounded by dancers who feel like family, childhood friends, and a disapproving father, he gradually realizes that returning to his Indigenous community through dance rekindles the child within him.
