Earth/Quake, a large-scale dance drama, is the first collaborative work between 

renowned choreographer YANG Wei and BeijingDance/LDTX. The work attempts 

to explore the complicated human hearts, and to depict the battle between light 

and darkness. Surrealistic approach, combined with a romantic touch, will overthrow 

the understanding of time and space, and create a stage with a unique viewpoint 

that links the cracking earth with quaking souls. Earth/Quake could be considered 

as a comedy of idealism and a devout visit of humanity.
