[vc_row enable_arrows_animation=”no”][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=”Introduction” tab_id=”introduction”][vc_column_text]Amid the shifting tapestry of light and shadow, a quiet pursuit awakens\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Bei Dao pens the despair and hope of the city
\nFleeting light shifts, shadows entwine \u2013 an elusive dance of glimmers and reflections
\nPoetry and movement intertwine; she, he, and his verses descend together
\nHow do scattered fragments piece together gestures and shadows
\nTo revisit an era of memories, a city, a place of solace, perhaps even the roots of life itself?<\/p>\n

Renowned choreographers Helen Lai and Chou Shu-yi join forces in this collaboration that bridges generations and regions. Drawing inspiration from Bei Dao’s poetry, the duo crafts a brand-new work where CCDC dancers use their bodies and movements to paint a novel dance landscape. This fusion of light, shadow, and live music features a score composed by the promising young musician Olivier Cong, backed by a stellar production team of local theatre veterans \u2013 including stage designer Lee Chi-wai, CCDC Resident Lighting Designer Lawmanray, costume designer Taurus Wah, video designer Lo Wing, and sound designer Leung Po-wing. Together, we invite the audiences and the city to embark on a mesmerising and enigmatic journey.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Creative Team” tab_id=”creative-team”][vc_column_text]Co-choreography: Helen LAI
