BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF : CROSS ——Contemporary dance and acrobatics In this aspect, the new piece CROSS! by Tarek Assam in a cross-cultural language. In an unusual art crossover of spectacular Far Eastern acrobatics and European-contemporary dance and a commissioned composition intercultural relationships are questioned. Thus, the focus of the dance evening is the approach of two worlds, because we already have to deal today with how we meet tomorrow in a converging world. "CROSS" is co-operated by the Shenzhen Administration of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Hessisches Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Kunst. It was produced in 2018 and performed in Germany. And included in the 2018 "Happy Chinese New Year" project of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and “Tanzart ostwest Festival”. CROSS was created by director and choreographer Tarek Assam and the German team.YATE Acrobatic Troupe (Shenzhen) and Tanzcompagnie Giessen performed together. Acrobatic techniques in the works do not highlight the dazzling display of high-hard skills, and combine Western modern dance and oriental acrobatics as a new form of stage language. The collision of the symbols of the east and the west, such as the knife and fork, the chopsticks, the ballet and the Peking Opera, highlights the impression that the East and the West are completely different, and then breaks it and reinterprets it in a very clever way. Thereby guiding the audience to think more about art, philosophy, and even humanity. CROSS music was created by the German team of 48nord. They chose elements such as traditional Chinese Cantonese music and traditional opera music. Fully express the elements of oriental music in the creation, including Chinese instruments such as guzheng, erhu, pipa, and flute. Use the Chinese ancient five-tone "Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, Yu" and the soundtrack of modern electronic music, “Tarek Assam hat in seiner neuen Arbeit zahlreiche Details zu einem kulturübergreifenden stilistischen Ganzen verwoben. 'Cross!' hat Brillanz, Energie und Feuer. Aus Vielfalt wird Einheit. Ein Meilenstein.” ——Giessen Allgemeine 04.02.2018,
