Onto a dark and empty stage, a single dancer enters from stage right to the quiet hum of white noise. The single act of marking his path begins the action of this piece, and a single streamer falls, vertically divididing the stage, as the industrial cry of the original music by Wu Jun and Liu Bo begins. Crossing traces the struggles of the individual dancers to mark the emptiness, and evolves as simple white horizontal and vertical streamers fill and reconfigure the space. Asymmetrical in form, the piece progresses as solos, duets and trios fill the evolving set, pitting lyrical movement against the stark realities of the space and sound. Crossing premiered in summer, 2008, at the Lyric Theater in Hong Kong.
