There the wind blows open the closed faces
Here it sets in motion my cusped leaf-edge…
I wait in faith, to hear
the sepal breath…
Union , then separation; roots snapped,
fibres still entwined ...
Edited from the poems "Leaf Contact", "Leaf Crown", "Leaf Enchantment" and "Leaf Ripples" by Leung Ping Kwan and the translation by Kwok Kwan Mun and Lo Kwai Cheung with John Minford.
"when you see her (Mui Cheuk-yin) slicing through space with her agile fingers, you would say that grace resided in her very flesh."
"the performance of Priscilla Leung is a tide that settles into a quiet pool, with the power to pacify..."
The vivid and colourful words of leading poet Leung Ping-kwan come flying off the pages in this brilliant, exhilarating montage of dance, sound and music. It features the expressive, elegant choreography of Mui Cheuk-yin, Priscilla Leung's honeysuckle sweet vocals, a climatic score by French composer Frédéric Blin, Silvio Chan's lotus costumes, Ewing Chan's picturesque riverside set, video mirages conjured up by Chris Lau and Gabriel Fung's dazzling lighting"
