Portraits of the Moon is an evocative contemporary dance project that explores the moon’s profound symbolism in Chinese culture and examines the theme of separation and reunion among Asian immigrant populations in America. Inspired by ancient lunar myths, poetry, and the personal journeys of Asian immigrants, this innovative production weaves together movement, text, and music to create a mesmerizing performance. By honoring Chinese cultural heritage and illuminating the experiences of immigrants within Asian communities, Portraits of the Moon celebrates diverse identities and invites audiences to connect deeply and reflect on their own cultural roots and stories.
