http://www.ccdc.com.hk/2005/ - This was their premier tour outside of China for their acclaimed production "Rear Light" based upon the soundtrack from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" - movie version. Great spirit, awesome light and use of thread-bare prop work! Tight emotional ties to movement. True modern dance in the respect that you won't see the Dance version of the movie here - quite exceptionally engaging. Considering this troup normally performs for a small 200-seat rotating audience in Beijing (very like what we might find in our 99-seat AEA performances), they spellbind this 1,200 seat crowd with ease. Great 30 minute interview afterwards with Willy Tsao (artistic director) and Ma Bo (choreographer).
