Where do we come from, and where are we going? Embark on a cultural journey through time and space with classical drama to discover your true self. In October 2023, Tai Ji Men, a school of martial arts that has transformed traditional martial arts into an art form, will present 'Back to the Origin' and 'Cultural Gems: Love and Prayers for the World' in California, USA, showcasing the essence of over 6,000 years of culture.
The performances will recreate the grandeur of the Sydney Opera House during the millennium. Tai Ji Men's visiting members are mostly amateurs, not professional performers, but they ingeniously combine qigong, martial arts, and art with their years of practice. They create a cultural feast for the body, mind, and soul, inspiring hearts through cultural exchange and setting off the butterfly effect of goodness.
Tai Ji Men will perform at The San Jose Center for the Performing Arts on October 6-7 and at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on October 15. These are goodwill cultural charity performances, and seats are limited, so seize the opportunity."
About the Showcasing of 'Back to the Origin'
'Back to the Origin' is an inspiring allegorical tale that combines modern technology, special effects, animation, and audio-visual elements. It follows the protagonist as they journey through time and return to the origin of the universe, witnessing the transformation brought about by the rotation of Tai Ji, the origins of martial arts with the changing seasons, and the inseparable relationship between humans and nature. The story also delves into the development of humanity and the future of the world. Through martial arts, music, dance, drama, and a play within the play, the plot is gripping and raises the question of how to make choices when the world loses its balance.
