Dear MEL Topic Readers,
These dancers may stun you because they can't hear music
Do you think it’s possible to dance without any piece of music or sound? Maybe, if you have some kind of music or sound in your mind to dance to or with someone who can lead the dance. But can you imagine a troupe of dancers performing an amazingly organized and synchronized dance show without a hint of sound? That is what the China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe performs on the stage of famous theaters around the world. None of the dancers can hear any sound. Also, the troupe’s band plays music for the audience during the performance. Though they play music in total harmony, no one conducts the band as none of the band members can see anyone, anything. They are all blind.
Formed in 1987 as an amateur arts group, the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe, CDPPAT has become the international top performing art troupe, My Dream and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva have also become a world-famous cultural brand. It is not only self-support but also set up a charity fund to help non-profit career with the income from commercial shows. Their philosophy is based on self-respect, self-confidence, self-improvement, and self-reliance, as well as mutual respect, mutual care, mutual aid, and mutual complementarities.
Watch the video and learn about this amazing performing artists and musicians from China.
