Dance Film: Poet
Abstract
Her words are like grains of wheat, rooted deeply into the earth, dancing upwards, full of unwavering determination to live vigorously and on her own terms.

“Poet” is a dance film inspired by Chinese poet Yu Xiuhua, a rural woman with cerebral palsy. Living in a conservative rural village in southern China where prejudice against women, disability, and divorce are high, she managed to break free from an unwanted marriage and live her life as a writer despite the satirical voices around.
“Yu Xiuhua’s words are like grains of wheat, rooted deeply into the earth, dancing upwards, full of unwavering determination to live vigorously and on her own terms. The unbattered persistence touched my soul, and I realized that I dance out of my most sincere love and reverence to life, all lives.” -Yang Sun
This is a dance film dedicated to the vigor, courage, struggle, fight, freedom, love for nature Yu xiuhua has inspired in all of us.
