In the large space of the painting, only one person or one horse or one dog is found between actions and inactions; however this contains full of vivid lives. Yao explained: “Painting is static art, actions found in the silence; dance is active art, silence is found in action.” Therefore she tries to extend the power of the body between actions and inactions just like a painting needs silence and time. Dance transforms to a painting extending the active combination of body expressions, directions and time. Each body search deeply inside the completeness and find it between the panting and the dance.

Le Sacre Du Printemps
In 1913, Igor Stravinsky was reputed as the “father of modern music” with The Rite of Spring. After almost one century, choreographer Yao Shu-fen is poised to stage a performance in line with irregular tempos and wild but exploding sound of The Rite of Spring that expands the limitless ingenuity of Fauvistic sensory. Having accomplished the blessings-ridden, ritual-like Les Noces, Yao Shu-fen once again will bring to the audience a visual and hearing experience beyond imagination.

The long-waiting power of life becomes the epitome of awakening for the woman lying on the floor that climbs up, snuggled and swooned in the sensual touches of men. The move is fast yet slow; hasty but lingering. Breaths and heartbeats are in tandem with movement of bodies. With ecstasy of sex, desire is flying without wings, resonating quietly through the sky. The insolence and arrogance of soul responds with the mutually undisciplined and harmonious melody of The Rite of Spring, bringing out the compressed, wild, and anxious nature of dancers’ bodies.
