The China Disabled People's Performing Art Troupe has taken their latest stage extravaganza to the Shanghai World Expo. You may not recall the group by name, but their performance called "Goddess of Mercy" made them a worldwide phenomenon in 2008. Now, their latest work, "My Dream," is nothing short of amazing.

 

Six of the eighteen performances are from the group's repertoire, and include "Goddess of Mercy" and "Yellow Earth". Vocal solo, duet, Chinese and western musical instruments performing, varying dances, Peking Opera, and figure language poem recital... the new programs are an affective arousal for audience members as well as great challenge to the artists.

Tai Lihua, who herself is the lead dancer in the "Goddess of Mercy" and a hearing impaired artist, introduces a gift of song for the Expo.
