Dance Theatre YONG

Time: Oct. 25th 14:00/19:15

Venue:New Space Theatre,STA

The past is a foreign land. This dance piece "Yong", Tian Tian guides the audience in an exercise in imagination, or exploration, of the past as an ‘exotic place’.  "Yong " is an original composition inspired by the miniatures of the Han era (202 A.C. - 220 D.C.) representing young girls in the act of dancing. This journey expresses the profound respect of Tian Tian towards the past, but also her need to draw a connection with today, the personal dimension, and contemporary sensibility. In her double role as choreographer and researcher of ancient Chinese dance, Tian Tian combines an archaeological reconstruction of traditional Chinese dance with the will to re-imagine it for today's audience.
