Folding was commissioned by the Guangdong Modern Dance Company and Shen Wei recreated the work for his own company in 2002. The work conjures-up a dreamlike, even surreal, world that is at once ancient and timeless. Dancers glide onto the stage space and amass as if suddenly called to partake in an ancient ritual, familiar and yet unknown. A downstage pendulum, barely moving, marks the slow unraveling of time. The costumes (conical headdresses and long red and black robes), white makeup, and glowing white floor, heighten the dance's sense of mystery and ritual. The work's large backdrop, painted by Shen Wei, is after an 18th-century Chinese watercolor by Bada Shanren.

The boys choir "Les Petits Chanteurs a la croix de bois" was created in 1907 and is now famous worldwide. Each world tour is a huge success. The choristers are between 9 and 15 years old and are proud of their choir´s long history: over 100 years and still fulfilling childhood dreams. They have to leave their families behind in order to be part of this extraordinary adventure: traveling, sharing their passion for singing and enabling others to discover the joys of music. Despite its long history, this boys choir continues to evolve with its time and spreads, wherever it goes, a message of love, peace and fraternity, so welcome in our tormented world.
