Here is the blurb from the Ordway program:
"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."
