Kucha, an ancient oasis city dating back to the 3rd century BCE in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang, China, was a significant cultural crossroad of the Silk Road, renowned for its Buddhist heritage and distinctive music and dance.

Looking back at Kucha, the short film reveals a mysterious dream, a curious exploration, or, maybe a philosophical conversation that transcends time and space.

Drawing from Chinese ancient literature and historical and archaeological records of the Kuchean dance, Kucha adapts the artistic imagery from the murals of the Kizil and Kumtura Caves in Xinjiang as the foundation for its dance movements.

While restoring the music style, dance postures, makeup, costumes, and props, it incorporates contemporary aesthetics and innovative concepts with world dance elements.
