Ten Thousand Tons of Moonlight is a compelling dance-theatre produced by Fengling Production. The show draws inspiration from the thought-provoking poems of Yu Xiuhua, a female celebrated contemporary Chinese poet. The production brings to life Yu Xiuhua's reflections and questions on love, beauty, disability, and the societal expectations placed on women.
Conceived and directed by Farooq Chaudhry, Ten Thousand Tons of Moonlight, merges the languages of poetry, dance and visual design to explore the dualities and contradictions that inhabit Yu Xiuhua and all of us. The performance raises questions about the role of personal struggles in finding our authenticity.
The world premiere of Ten Thousand Tons of Moonlight took place in Shanghai from November 15 to 17, 2024.
