At first glance, it seems impossible - fight and hug? But in both arts it is necessary to know one's own center, one's own body and mind in order to be able to really meet the other. The loving-advertising gesture and the destructive energy - these are opposites that complement each other. Every closeness brings with it conflict, every struggle offers the opportunity for reconciliation, and both are an offer to grow. In addition, the fascinating collaboration with Lilia and Master Jie Rui Zhang makes us all amazed at the possibilities of combining beautiful movements, developing them and merging them with my own written music. Full respect for tradition and curiosity for new things ..."
