In my heart, Bach is the totem of classical music, while the totem of Eastern art is nature, Why do | think this way? This question gave me a strong urge to further explore the topic, and | hope to present the conversation to the audiences in Hang Kong: a dialogue between Bach rock and the indigenous music of Hanggai. Yunnan will always be as spellbinding to me as Hunan, my home. The music and dance traditions of ‘the Yunnan ethnic minorities are so primitive, yet so modern.

"Opera and Dance Theatre” opens with adialogue between Yang and myself, in which we converse about “Opera” and “Dance Theatre", and share our "footprints" from our villages to the world. Shaman Luo Fengxue and Ournuyounuo, whom I first met while collecting folksongs in Yunnan, tell us stories about the Ancient Tea Horse Road; incorporating elements of Cantonese opera.

Leonardo da Vinci once said, “In order to acquire knowledge of the winds, itis first necessary to arrive at knowledge of the motions of birds in the air.” Upon reading his words, the composer quickly finished writing this work.
