The owner is Liu Bin, who is the fourth generation inheritor of Sanshizhai kite. Sanshizhai kite, originally an entertainment item for the ancient nobles, has a history of hundreds of years, and it sustains the traditional way of making royal kite. From the framework to paste painting, it is all handmade. First, fine-quality moso bamboo is selected to dry in the shade for three years before being used to make kite. The workmanship is also quite exquisite and the pattern design on the kite contains rich cultural connotations. Sanshizhai kite, featuring a major representative of Beijing kite, has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage item.

Rite of Spring is the second contemporary dance work by Yang. With a world-class creative team she will interpret the original Stravinsky musical narrative of ritual sacrifice from Chinese and Tibetan perspectives. It’s her belief the Rite of Spring is a work about the conflict of “nature” time versus “human” time; the inevitably of nature (Spring) against the human need for control (sacrifice). The Tibetan animal symbols of the Peacock (nature) and the Lion (human order) are inspiration for the movement language. The Peacock as the sacrificial victim will dutifully volunteer herself in the knowledge her death will result in reincarnation Edited December 27, 2020 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment
