This unique company, which has influenced other organizations such as Cirque du Soleil, takes audience members on a theatrical voyage with all the elegance of ancient Chinese arts. Many of the skilled performers are former Olympic medalists, and have helped to inspired the work of other companies, such as the world-famous Cirque du Soleil franchise.

The award-winning visual montage tells the story of a young man who, through his dreams, meets a phoenix. Through 18 different acrobatic modalities, the performs explain how the mythical bird with golden and red feathers — also the universal symbol of resurrection and immortality — transports the boy to different worlds, filled with palaces, gardens and magical forests. Together, they will have to fight against the forces of Evil, but Good will prevail.
