To celebrate the grand opening of the Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy in Pasadena, over 600 Tai Ji Men members from all over the world will fly to California to organize two free and fabulous cultural performances on Sunday, October 15 at the renowned Pasadena Civic Auditorium. These productions, combining dance, music, martial arts, and drama and utilizing modern technology, special effects, animation, and audio-visual elements, will showcase the beauty of arts, as well as embody the spirit and values of a culture of conscience, delivering awe-inspiring positive energy to the audience!
The first presentation is a drama titled “Back to the Origin,” which runs from 2:00-4:00 pm. It is a recreation of Tai Ji Men’s timeless masterpiece showcased at the Sydney Opera House, exploring one of life's major questions: “Where did we come from? Where will we go from here?” The play will transport the audience members back to the beginning of the universe across time and space, taking them on a profound spiritual journey. The U.S. premiere of the play was held on October 6 at the Center for the Performing Arts in San Jose, where nearly 2,000 people attended, creating a sensation.
The second presentation titled "Cultural Performance: Promoting Love, Peace and Conscience" showcases the essence of Tai Ji Men’s culture, spanning over 6,000 years. It features the five auspicious creatures from the East: the Celestial Dragon, Phoenix, Peacock, Qilin, and Lion, along with “angels of love,” to bestow blessings upon humanity. This performance will showcase the unique charm of Tai Ji Men's "Kung Fu of the Heart," displaying the origin and essence of martial arts, leaving the audience in awe.
The play is a fascinating story about the origins and destiny of human beings, how to achieve personal breakthroughs, the weaknesses of human nature hidden deep down inside, the confrontation between good and evil, as well as conscience-based choices, etc. The wonderful scenes lead the audience members to travel through time and space, awakening the conscience deep inside and finding their true selves.
More than 600 Tai Ji Men dizi (apprentices) from various states in the U.S. and different parts of the world have come together for these grand productions, ranging in age from 8 to 72. Under the guidance of Dr. Hong, Tao-Tze, the leader of Tai Ji Men, they have dedicated themselves to every aspect of the performances, including scriptwriting, scoring, costume design, set construction, and prop creation. This collaborative effort showcases an ancient culture in a truly innovative way.
Presenting these performances in culturally rich Pasadena holds great importance. In the midst of the ongoing AI technology boom, it has become evident that technology can have both positive and negative effects, depending on how it's used. The call for a culture guided by moral values is particularly strong. The two performances, which emphasize the importance of conscience, serve as a valuable educational tool, especially suitable for students. It is expected that many parents will bring their children to watch the shows.
