"yào" is based on the famous drama "Thunderstorm" by Cao Yu but it’s also a recreation of the original works. The story revolves around taking medicine.The choreographer Zhou Liya takes the characters out of the original works and deconstructs them. Zhou Liya makes Fanyi (One of the leading roles in "Thunderstorm" who fell in love with her stepson) speak out her inner monologue that she has not speak out in"Thunderstorm". Zhou Liya also touches audiences with her own thoughts through the role.

 

 

Fanyi in "yào" is a representation of infinite entanglements. She comes from "Thunderstorm" but also beyond it. When she appears on the stage with a bowl of medicine in her hands, muttering to herself, mad or breaking down, everybody can recognize her without any doubt.
