Hymn to Disappearance
⑴. Synopsis
In the form of the “pass the parcel”game rendered by body gesture, dance and traditional masks, Zhao Miao recounts tales about revolution, lies, confession, fratricide, generation gap, solitude, parting, life and romance. By integrating traditional Eastern culture with modern values, these nine stories, with a touch of surrealism, humor and banter, unfold silently and penetrate an intimate world that even words cannot describe.
