The dance drama The Nine-coloured Deer is produced and performed by ZHANG Yashu, a young Chinese dancer. The drama is created by a team of excellent Chinese young dancers. With their elegant body language, they lead the audience into the world of Dunhuang on the Silk Road, telling the legend of the nine-coloured deer.
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”.
