QINGHONG (青红) is a cross-disciplinary performance rooted in cultural inquiry and embodied practice. Through dance, live guqin and pipa, real-time projection, and spoken poetry, the work explores how color, time, and the human body intersect as forms of perception and memory.

“Qing” and “hong” are treated as relational forces rather than fixed symbols — representing cycles of emergence and intensity, stillness and motion, restraint and release. The performers’ bodies engage in continuous dialogue with light and sound, shaping an evolving visual and emotional landscape.

In this shared space, the audience is invited to witness not a story, but a process — an unfolding of sensation, rhythm, and collective breath.

SAADA supported this performance as a community arts partner, recognizing the work’s contribution to interdisciplinary cultural expression and its engagement with embodied storytelling across artistic traditions.

The 20-minute live performance was carried entirely by one high school dancer, Emmaline Chiou, who also served as the youth lead of the project.

With no fixed choreography, the entire piece unfolded through improvisation, seamlessly responding to transitions between pipa and guqin.

In a highly fluid live setting, she maintained strong control of timing and space, guiding the emotional flow of the stage with maturity and artistic sensitivity.
