"Using light as a vital medium and symbolism, the show reveals a state of compatible ease between the mind and world." - Performing Arts Review, Taiwan

"Ingeniously bringing forth the world of 'Dharma', 'Sanskrit chanting' and 'Buddha light'." - Shek Kei, Ming Po Daily News, Hong Kong

Originally art and religion are inseparable from each other. With art as a means, spiritual experiences can be elevated, and by the same token, artistic creation must be charged with a similar sense of spiritual commitment from which the ever-transcending force of aspiration is sprung and nourished. Integrating the Buddhist doctrines with multimedia and contemporary staging elements, Zuni’s performance Hua-yen Sūtra provides an arena in which an interactive experimentation on art and religion is carried out. The multimedia performance is a theatrical interpretation of the imagery employed by the Buddha in his Dharma talks including the use of dazzling colours and lights, the chanting of Sanskrit letters in the Siddham alphabets, unfolding the infinite inspiration and vibration of the interplay between art and religion.
