SYNOPSIS

I insist, I have made this path.
I insist, only I can walk it.

But we know the truth,
that someone,
had laid this path for me and gently held my hand.

I wish to walk this good path alongside my people.
I wish to become that warm hand.
I wish to guide with that warm hand.

So quietly, I reach out,
my small hand.

SYNOPSIS

We wander like dust, we flow like streams,
pushed and pulled by life’s currents,
yet, we lean on one another.
If you listen closely you can hear the world,
we are gifts to this earth,
we are dancers.

As time passes, flowers fade.
How do we live with the weight of our disabilities?
Will time reveal the answer?
All I know is that even in failure, even in despair,
dance itself is life.

Fleeting encounters, lingering longing.
Has anyone ever told us to dream?
Now, we understand that love is the answer.
Holding onto the echoes of those we have met,
We will keep on living, today and tomorrow.

We will love everything in this world.
We speak through dance,
a flower blooming with pure love,
loving all that exists in this world.

SYNOPSIS

A quiet stage—three bodies scatter like melody,
once mere notes drifting on a staff,
they become living music, dancing into sound.

A fan cuts through the air,
a melody flows through each movement,
static symbols awaken into a rhythm.

The pulse quickens,
entwining, unraveling; a conversation woven in sound.

And at last, the notes dissolve,
fading like the wind and water, leaving a lingering echo.
In that moment, music and dance become one,
and everything on stage becomes a single, perfect melody.

SYNOPSIS

On stillness,
a body awakens,
breath becomes rhythm,
and fingertips draw the air.

An invisible melody
shakes the space
and awakens the senses.

Through that gap,
another presence seeps in.
Breaths, hums,
fragmented words,
quietly become a song.

Movement embraces sound,
offbeat rhythms turn into harmony,
flowing along each other’s texture.

We do not hear,
we feel.

In an incomplete harmony
that is all the more beautiful for its imperfections,
bodies and sound,
sensation and emotion,
connect in truth.

As people(人) emerge from a single stroke, woven together in lines both long and short,
so do tiles(瓦) rise from a single sound, lying down, standing tall, interlocking as one.

Two, yet one; Different, yet the same.
It was a journey to find the space between.

We align the curved embrace of concave tiles, the steadfast rise of convex tiles.
Lying down and standing up, again and again, until we become connected.

When rain falls, we let it flow.
When snow settles, we let it seep in.
Bound together, we form a shelter.

No longer concave or convex, but simply tiles.
Steadfast and unshaken, we build something greater, together.
