About

This dance is one of “2015 China National Arts Fund Youth Talent Support Programmes”.

This dance is about an affectionate conversation between the “the young” and “the old, the sick and the dead”. This work deeply explores the complicated emotions of humans in the face of “oldness, sickness, and death” through a woman’s conversation with “the time”. The “woman” is a wife, a mother, and also a dying person suffering from the pain of illness. A warm world behind the cold reality is built in the interweaving emotions between the “woman” and “the time”, “her husband” as well as “her daughter”.
