Available to purchase｜Dance Theatre: THE VISION OF YOYO

In this work, we have seen praises, applause and tears.

After 8 months of rehearsal, the dance theater of The Vision of Yoyo finally met the audience in May 2021. Its debut won an exceptionally high rating of 9.1/10 on Douban. Here are some comments from the audience:

“I can feel the innocence and compassion of the choreographer, and it marvels me.” “I really admire every dancer on the stage.” “This was beyond my imagination.” “It couldn’t be better.” “I cried. What else can I say？” “It tore down the wall between the amateur and the professional.” “I felt deeply cured.”

They are just thirteen normal people from different walks of life, but they overwhelmed the audience with their “imperfect” dancing.
