Performed by the Shigang Mama Theatre. International Drama and Theatre Education Association (IDEA) World Congress, Hong Kong, July 16–22, 2007.

She is a pear grower, a butoh bride, and a virtuous Hakka woman. Inside her there is a reiterating mountain song, a dancing refrain and a silent roar.

She is here on the stage in flesh and blood. Have you caught sight of her?
