Before the statues and beyond the legend, there was a man—Siddhartha, a prince who
renounced his royal life in search of an answer to human suffering. In this solo dance theatre
production by Wu Wei Company, choreographer and performer Emilie Anne brings this
2,500-year-old story into contemporary light through dance, mime, and poetry. With a rich
musical score and visual projections created by a collective of artists, the stage becomes a
landscape of inner and outer journeys.
