Liu Qi is the artistic director and choreographer of the Chinese Guangdong Modern Dance Company. Sumeru takes its name from the mountain at the centre of Buddhist cosmology and its creative idea from one of Buddha’s maxims: “a tiny seed can reveal all the wonders of the world”. Dance for Liu Qi is this seed, bringer of infinite facets that are revealed to those who know how to observe with attention, dance which unfolds in a game of interaction, bodily connections and spatial geometry of adamantine quality.
