Introduction
Blue Trace is a contemporary Mongolian dance drama first directed by Xi Siriguleng in 2014. Audiences experienced it for the first time in 2016 and the show was performed more than 40 times in 2 years. What attracts the audience most is the strong masculine energy as there are no female dancers in it.

 

At the same time, the audience is drawn in by the rituals of traditional Mongolian ceremonies. The drama not only gives people a brand new perspective on the contradiction between modern city life and the natural hometown but also the answer to how to rediscover oneself and atone.

 

 

Blue Trace tells the story of a Mongolian young man achieving self-salvation and regaining his confidence in his high-pressure life. He got lost in his mind and felt lonely when he came to a modern city where was far away from his hometown—the Mongolian grassland.

 

The ghosts moved around him all the time and he was nearly corrupted. One day in the dreamless dream, he went back to the grassland. He met many close friends and the mother of the land, he felt the power of Mongolian spirits and rediscovered his faith in life. As he woke up, he was not afraid of life, the future, and loneliness anymore.
