This contemporary dance stage model is inspired by Dunhuang, Chinese shadow puppetry and Chinese ancient myth, Nüwa Patches Up the Sky.
Nüwa is believed to be the goddess that created humans. After the creation of men, there was once the sky cracked and started falling. The world became chaotic, lives were killed in disasters such as floods, fire and earthquakes, monsters emerged to attack humans.
Heartbroken to see the suffering and disasters, Nüwa searched for the seven-coloured stones despite the challenges and dangers, the sky was finally repaired and the world is saved.
