I thought here is my home

from "Keep Her Safe, Please! Jakarta 1998" (Scene III)

 

Contemporary choreography movements developed from Chinese and Indonesian dance movement

 

"Where can be my home land? Where can I root?

I devote myself to the lands where I was born, were I was raised, were I moved to, and where I see as my home... but really, can I call it home?

'Go back to your country!'- I heard the voice toward 1st, 2nd, 3rd,... Nth generation immigrants, many others like my grand-parents and my parents in Indonesia as ethnic Chinese, my parent and myself in Taiwan as newer Chinese immigrant, and myself in US.

Seeking... the land where I can build home, the heritage I can carry with me and go beyond."

~ Wan-Chao
