“These are seductive dancers,
and they had no trouble seducing the crowd.”
—San Francisco Chronicle

With spellbinding theatricality, Lily Cai and her attractive company blend modern dance idioms with Asian performance traditions and Chinese classical dance. Cai, a former principal with the Shanghai Opera, melds her cultural lineage with American aesthetics in a living mosaic of jewel-toned ribbons and fans, ornate costumes, candlelight and music from Chinese opera to gamelan to Mahler’s fifth symphony.
