About the Performance

Heart of Grace strips away the fac’ade of the mask in traditional lion dance to reveal the caged being within, exploring what it means to be human, animal, fanciful, and majestic. Drawing images from the uncanny, Chen invokes Chinese mythological creatures and legends, likening them to the contemporary demons that pursue us in our everyday reality.
