Nirvana is an innovative physical theatre piece depicting a journey through suffering and struggle, while exploring the search for beauty and the idea of rebirth from darkness.
Nirvana is an experimental intercultural physical theatre piece combining a first time ever Guitar/Guzheng musical collaboration. From the theme of ‘Phoenix’s rebirth from fire’, the show explores endurance, and brave struggle of the spirit. It presents a story about building the strength to withstand hardship, through a unique cross-cultural performance with a distinctive musical approach to accompaniment featuring Chinese and Western elements. Finally, a string of enchanting notes ripples in the wilderness, evoking in everyone’s heart that yearning for the moment that marks the end of harshness. With the fluttering of its wings, the phoenix ascends to new life.
