Faded Monologue, a realism work of dance, is specially created for the 

opening of Beijing Dance Festival by MA Bo, the well-known choreographer 

from BeijingDance/LDTX.


Tener” and “sentimental” are not always suitable words to describe women 

in an era where women are mainly praised for their toughness. How many of 

these women who are considered strong can be their true selves?

 

In Faded Monologue, the choreographer is searching for a pure spiritual 

territory where she will exposereality, explore humanity, and express her 

inner world with sense and sensibility.

Music that used in Faded Monologue is from albums of LudovicoEinaudi, 

Hildur Guðnadóttir and Zoe keating.
