This is ZI Wei's latest choreography, it is a sequel to his earlier piece Circle. It will be the opening 

performance of the 2017 Beijing Dance Festival. It's supported by 2016 Beijing Culture and Arts Fund.

Flow is the origin of all things. The Flow symbolizes the evolution of nomadic journey. The origin and 

the evolution goes hand-in-hand and becomes a principle in this everchanging world. Changes and 

constancy are being dissected into the two extremes in a flowing track of life-able to see the beginning, 

but unable to find the ending. In the piece Circle 2: The Flow reflects how one searches for new thinking 

in a flow which appears to be established and yet full of conflicts.
