Qing Bai: Innocence is an original experimental theatre work inspired by The Legend of the White Snake, created in collaboration with a contemporary dance ensemble -- Xinyi Dance Company. Rooted in Chinese traditional mythology, the piece reimagines the story through physical theatre, exploring themes of transformation, memory, and the boundary between human consciousness and primal instinct.
 

Performed entirely in Mandarin with English subtitles, Qing Bai: Innocence positions Chinese cultural storytelling within a contemporary performance language, bridging traditional aesthetics with experimental and physical theatre practices. The work unfolds in a poetic landscape of the broken bridge, rivers, and rain—where the body becomes both archive and vessel.
 

The production was toured across the U.S. East Coast, with performances at Brown University, Yale University, and a special presentation in New York City at HERE Arts Center. Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and international touring, Qing Bai: Innocence contributes to an ongoing dialogue on the global circulation of Chinese cultural narratives and their resonance within contemporary performance contexts.
