Love melts loneliness

The sentimental choreography of Inside has humor, love and a touch of boldness, but most of all, emotions that resonate with everyone: the co-existence of loneliness and love, as well as the inevitable connections with people in social lives.

The dancers came to the stage with caution and curiosity, like a child when born into the world. They interact with each other in a cautious manner. They fall into unexpected collisions sometimes. They hug to soothe each other. They get refreshed, walk on or walk away.

"I hope to connect people with love. Love is something that brings warmth to us. For me, love can melt everything," Gong said. "Because I'm very straightforward, my way of speaking may hurt people sometimes. But they tolerated me. Such tolerance made me tender."
