Thirteen dance pieces from foreign countries are being featured at the ongoing Beijing Dance Festival. The headline show is "Open Source", performed by Maria Kong Dancers Company from Israel. The dancers are bringing the sensual moves of the Middle East to the Middle Kingdom.

"Open Source", choreographed by 33-year-old dancer Talia Landa combines dance and drama. The erotic performance is considered the most anticipated piece on bill of the Beijing Dance Festival.

It tells the story of a woman’s wedding night. It’s about the split second when, moments before giving herself, she looks in the mirror and all her deepest fears, fantasies and most hidden desires reveal themselves. Although it tells about the fine line between virginal naivety and carnal desire, the choreographer, who’s still single, says the piece is about every crossroad of a decisive moment.

"Open Source" is only one of thirteen foreign dance pieces at Beijing Dance Festival. Others include "Macbeth" from Germany, a dance take on the Shakespearian tragedy, and "Blinded Mind", a surreal piece about an individual swimming against the stream which is visually stunning.

In addition, there will be nearly 60 pieces from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.

Besides the opening show "All River Red and Treading on Grass" from the Beijing LDTX, there is an acclaimed collaboration between the Hong Kong City Comtemporary Dance Company and celebrated Norwegian choreographer Ina Johannessen. "The Wild Duck" is inspired by Henrik Ibsen’s modern drama classic of the same name.

Audiences are spoilt for choice by the range of festival performances held at the PLA Theater and the Star Theater up until Friday. The packed program and enthusiastic crowds testify to the growing popularity among Chinese audiences of this particular art form, known for its avant-guard character and individuality.
