There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, which is
making the rounds across the net. Considering the tight coordination
required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they
were not all deaf.
Yes, you read correctly. All 21 of the dancers are complete hearing
impaired. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the
stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at
once intricate and stirring. Its first major international debut was in
Athens at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics.
But it had long been in the repertoire of the Chinese Disabled People's
Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than 40 countries. Its lead
dancer is 29 year old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from the Hubei Fine Arts
Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival this
year.
