Description

HuXi or Breath is a dance revelation, that explores the symbiosis of breath and existence through Chinese Qi and Yin-Yang. Marrying traditional rhythms with modern dance, this immersive piece, inspired by museum artefacts, allows audiences to embody the intricate connection of Qi within and beyond, fostering links between self-realisation and higher realms. A collaborative canvas, blurring the lines between spectators and performers, it transforms into a unique artwork for each viewer. Rediscover your body and the world in a novel light through this captivating journey of self-awareness.

Best performance I've seen at fringe！ The dance moves, lighting, visual arts, every detail is full of sincerity. The sound of bowl beating and the smell of traditional Chinese aromatherapy at the beginning make me feel as if I have traveled to a magical world. There are various forms of performances, including Chinese water sleeves, Chinese sword dance, group dance and even singing. What shocked me the most was the solo dance performance. When the actor came on stage, their sense of power deeply shocked me and made me feel unable to move. They has a kind of toughness, depth, and forbearance, and is full of a sense of legendary stories from the East. And the singer at last use his beautiful voice to wakes us up and lets us come back to the real world. Thanks to the cast and crew who create such a great work. It deserves to be seen by more people, and I hope to see it at fringe next year!
