Thousand-Hand Guanyin

 I really love the character of Guanyin. She is a Goddess of great kindness in many Asian religions.
This is a representation of her by 21 dancers who are all deaf-mutes. The dancers rely on the hand gestures from trainers on the outskirts on the stage.
This is truly an extraordinary visual communication. It is both intricate and stirring.
This troupe, lead by 29 year old Tai Lihua, has preformed at many international events and venues.
This performance was recorded in Beijing during the Spring Festival.
  Enjoy!
