Folks I do not know if the following is true or not.
I left it in to give credit if it is.
The link will be at the bottom.
Word of caution: With a dsl connection it took a minute or so to buffer in. (load)
I'm not into the performing arts.. but this is awsome
Enjoy if you want
Beautiful and Spectacular With Sound
---------------------------------------
This one truly is beautiful~~be sure you read the text before you watch it
There is an awesome dance, called the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.
Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is
Nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all DEAF. Yes, you
Read correctly. All 21 of the dancers are complete deaf-mutes. Relying
Only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these
Extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once
Intricate and stirring. Its first major international debut was in
Athens at the closing ceremonies for the 2004 Paralympics.
But it had long been in the repertoire of the China Disabled People's
Performing Art Troupe and had traveled to more than 40 countries.
Its lead dancer is 29-year-old Tai Lihua, who has a BA from The Hubei
Fine Arts Institute. The video was recorded in Beijing during the Spring
Festival celebrations this year.
