Divided into seven scenes, Bamboo Dream evokes imagery not only of the four seasons, but also touches on weather conditions and moods evoked by the seasons. The dancers portray these moods through sensual choreographic compositions inspired by tai chi, European dance and classical ballet.
"The movements are very sensual and I'd say erotic, but not exotic. There's no linear storyline to the production. It is open to individual interpretation," Lin said. "I have created food for the eye, something soothing at election time when its is very hectic and chaotic."
