Description A remarkable international collaboration between China, Australia, and New Zealand, this hauntingly beautiful dance work explores the intimate human stories left behind in the wake of an unimaginable tragedy.
On a quiet spring afternoon in 2008, an earthquake measuring eight on the Richter scale devastated the Sichuan province of China, killing over 69,000 people. It was a natural disaster on a scale that defied imagination – but for millions of Chinese survivors, there was nothing for it but to pick up the pieces and carry on.
