HerStory｜Contemporary Dance Show Introduction

Unravelling esoteric writings by, of, and about women

This dance production is a contemporary extension of Nüshu (“women’s script”), the written language developed and used exclusively by women in Jiangyong county, Hunan province, China, which has a four-hundred-year history.

Inspired by Nüshu and winner of two awards at the 2008 Hong Kong Dance Awards, HerStory is the final part of “Women’s Trilogy” created by renowned choreographer Helen Lai. She has updated the work by weaving in the writings of Xi Xi and Wong Bik-wan, two female authors from Hong Kong. The dance idiom is likened to writing in Chinese, from which emerge emotive personal stories of women and evoke collective memories.
