Mortise and Tenon
In “Mortise and Tenon”, disparate elements are fused into a formidable whole. This performance delves into the power of collective synergy -- the strength of an individual may be limited, but when joined together, they become resilient and possess limitless possibilities. The choreography draws inspiration from the robust "Mortise and Tenon" joint, found in traditional Chinese architecture, wherein elements interlock flawlessly. These structures withstand immense pressure, relying exclusively on the seamless integration of components. In a mesmerizing display, each dancer echoes the precision and resilience of "Mortise and Tenon", weaving a tapestry of movement that transcends individual strength. The portrayal has been showcased in the 12th Lotus Award and featured in the event “A Poem for Ten Thousand Years” organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism.
