About Silver Lining
25、26、27、28——29?
We might have never thought about how youth just gets by us too quickly. What does “29” mean? It may have just been an ordinary year of life, but because of the widely circulated ‘mantra’ – becoming mature; yet we become confused, instead we start to think: Maturity? How to become mature? Immaturity? Can we though? If we become mature, so what?
At the age of 29, I am set to find, I am set to wander; at the age of 29, I have songs to sing, have words to say. On the way, I met a cat who thought he was a tiger, a chicken who believes he can fly, a monkey who thought he was a grown-up.

Since its premiere, Silver Lining has received high acknowledgement from the media and the audience. Actor HUANG Lei commented, “It may look black and white on the outside, but when you look inside, you realize that it is filled with color. Silver Lining gives every dreamer a moment to dream.” MENG JinghuiTheatre Studio praised: “Silver Lining is a moving dance drama that is full of power, imagination, intimate expressions, and sincere emotions”.
According to the audience's review, it was “the worthiest play at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival”, “so overwhelming” and “amazing beyond imagination”, “I'll always remember this dance drama.”, “It was absolutely awesome. I always like people with a pure heart.”, “Everyone can find themselves in Silver Lining.”. One audience rated the performance with a score of 99, “I give 99 points to CHEN Zihao's dance theatre Silver Lining. It’s a pity that I didn’t see the curtain call. Otherwise, it’d be a solid full mark.”
Choreographed by CHEN Zihao
Performanced by ZHU Fengwei, LI Yu, TU Ling, and ZHAO Li
Silver Lining is the first multimedia dance theatre choreographed and directed by director CHEN Zihao. With the support from famous music producer ZHANG Yadong as music director, popular dancer LI Yu and ZHU Fengwei, and visual design KINOi YANG Qian Studio (visual design studio commissioned for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympics in Beijing 2008/2022) in charge of visual image creation and production, the performance has come to fruition.
A mystical space
with hand-paintings, cats, mattress, white balloons, raincoats, and dance
Through the fusion of new media visual and dance art, Silver Lining integrates theatre, dance, and music. With theatre born from dance, dance moved by theatre, and songs sung emerged from feelings, these elements have made the whole dance enriched and dimensional. The stage and costume design of the dance theatre performance focuses on black, white and grey. The video design adopts a two-dimensional hand-painted art project, which is intended to ‘dream’ with the most primitive and simple painting techniques, outlining the unique language expressions of Silver Lining.

“Silver Lining presents an untamable passion that is not simply expressed through narration or logic, as it is conveyed by the peculiar posture, strength and movements of dance. With the intensity of physical expressions, the dancers capture, adapt and record the trauma, sorrow and warmth that is unique to the age of 29.”
“… It is shocking… Silver Lining is like a breath of fresh air flowing into the heart during these endless and stifling days… It portrays the young people of the city, who are torn and struggling for survival, for a better tomorrow and for love, presenting a film-like display of passion and confusion.
The cramped-up space, the mattress like Noah’s Ark, the grey and colourless walls, the mysterious and heavenly singing, the tossing and twisting of the body, the silent staring at each other,the wandering about in a daze, the rising of white balloons up in the air, etc., all of these elements feature the most passionate and sincere artistic expression of the dancers, who are committed to their dance philosophy and their pursuit of dreams.”

SILVER LINING
Words from the Choreographer
No dream is too big or too small.
The Chinese title of the work is “29”, but in English, I named it “Silver Lining”, because what I wish to present in this work is this feeling that rises within you when you see sunlight shine in through a narrow gap, and when a silver line is formed around the clouds under the sunlight, the kind that can only be formed when the clouds block the sun. It could be a dream with rain and dark clouds, and a silver line of sunlight emerges when the rain stops. Or it could be the edge of a white mattress…… It is like a dream. And no dream is too big or too small.
