My Dream is performed by The China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe (CDPPAT), formed in 1987 with more than 85 performers.
CDPPAT’s signature piece is the incomparable “One Thousand Hands Bodhisattva” (video extract above), featuring 21 hearing impaired dancers. Truly breathtaking images are created as dancers produce perfectly timed and choreographed movements.

In 2004 it was performed at the Closing Ceremony of the Paralympics in Athens.
The 2008 tour will be the first time this masterpiece of dance will be performed in the United Kingdom.
