1. Yang Liping’s The Peacock

The Peacock weaves together light and shadow and a rich tapestry of movement to create a surreal and visually breathtaking world. The performance captures the peacock’s essence – the bird’s agility, pride, delicate grace and resilience – while delving into profound themes of life, love, and liberation.
