"A showcase of traditional Chinese aesthetics: subtle, elegant and enchanting."

A Dance Drama in Two Acts

Crested ibis, a beautiful and precious species symbolizing happiness and auspiciousness, is known as the 'bird of good fortune'. Long ago in the agrarian age, people lived in harmony with crested ibis as good friends and companions. In our deep memory, crested ibis is a kind of affectionate bird. They are reserved, elegant, pure and noble, yet also sensitive, vulnerable and suspicious. Back then, crested ibis was such a close and warm friend to us.

No one knows since when these 'birds of good fortune' gradually faded away from our sight. As we ran hastily towards modernization and urbanization, blue sky, clear water and a tranquil natural habitat, upon which wild crested ibises required for propagation, were diminishing and became more critical. In less than 100 years’ time, wild crested ibises were declared to be endangered.

In May 1981, Chinese scientists discovered seven wild crested ibises in Yang County, Shaanxi Province. The once declared as endangered 'bird of good fortune' reappeared in our sight. Today, with consciousness and meticulous care in Mainland, Japan, Korea and Eastern Siberia, crested ibises are exhibiting an auspicious sign of revival.

As succinctly expressed in 'the unbearable lightness of being', what was once lost should be treasured forever.
