The Twenty-four Solar Terms
When the goddess Nüwa creates the world, her twin children, Day and Night become imbalanced. Seduced by this chaos, the Night Demon disrupts the natural order, plunging the world into darkness and disarray. The spirits of the twenty-four Solar Terms awaken and join forces with the four divine beasts of Eastern mythology, restoring harmony between heaven and earth, humanity and nature. Pupils from Jingdong Primary School in Shanghai depict the twenty-four natural spirits marking the different seasons from the unique Chinese system, in this visual and auditory feast. Performed in Cantonese with English surtitles.
