The ADF is delighted to present the World Premiere of Shen Wei's complete Re- (I, II, III).

The entire Re- cycle will be performed together for the very first time as the Festival's inaugural performance at the DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center. Shen Wei Dance Arts has garnered critical acclaim the world over since its inception at the 2000 ADF. The first two parts of the cycle, Re- Part I (originally commissioned by the 2006 ADF), and Re- Part II* (originally set by Shen Wei on Les Grands Ballets Canadiens de Montréal) are inspired by various world cultures, geography, and an artist's experiences abroad. Re- Part III, an ADF commissioned World Premiere, also explores the relationship between the individual and community, and the difference between the role of the individual in Chinese and Western life.

Festival-goers will be among the first to see Shen Wei's complete Re- program before the company's three continent tour.
