"My new production "we'll all go to heaven" deals with energies and conflicts in human relations. Human factors and cultural components flow into this choreography in the same way. My special interest is focusing the moment where dynamic force is suspended because movement lost its purpose. Body is thrown of balance and the actor has to find its individual way out of this timeless and space less chaos."

Zur Person

Nationality Taiwan
Year of birth 1967

Born in Taiwan Chun Hsien Wu received his diploma at the National Institute of Art in Taipei. From 1994 to 2000 he had been soloist at the Cloud Gate Dance Theater (Choreographer: Lin Hwai-Min). In 1998 he had been invited to participate in the 25th Anniversary of Pina Bausch Wuppertal Tanztheater. There he met the French dancer Chrystel Guillebeaud. They got married and settled down in Wuppertal.

From the year 2000 on Chrystel and Chun Hsien cooperate in different artistic projects. Chun Hsien Wu choreographic work makes himself remarkable with his last year production "SELF-MADE", a strong and poetic piece. This year their Company and collaboration finally got a name: Double C. Their new production "We'll all go to heaven" deals with energies and areas of conflict in relationships. Chun Hsien Wu and Chrystel Guillebeaud do not simply research on sexual distinctions but also in intercultural material in their choreographic work.
