Multi-media Dance - Hope is the Thing with FeatherOct. 17th - Oct. 18th, 2015  Duanjun Theater, STA

With the body as media, reflected and filled with music and movie, the dance conveys a kind of people’s relationship which is the easiest and also the most difficult to understand.  In the relationship, men and women compete with each other, they can’t wait to make each other become part of their bodies under the strong love, and will feel like dropping into an abyss when facing departure as well.  There are so much helpless and reluctance in our lives, in the search of love, we have already spent the whole life.
