The luminary Wen Hui, a pioneer of contemporary dance in China, and her Beijing-based Living Dance Studio premiere Red, a critically acclaimed dance theater work. Combining dance, theater, spoken text, and video, Red is a striking documentary performance that takes its point of departure from the Cultural Revolution’s canonized ballet, The Red Detachment of Women.
