"He looked vaguely familiar, thought Phoenix. Was it Tianguan, God of Fortune? Or perhaps Taiyi, God of Heaven? The mysterious Golden Figure flew westward beneath the full moon. His aura was like that of a Buddha, dispelling darkness wherever he went. He was a lantern in the night. Phoenix pursued. To what strange and wonderful place would this light lead her to tonight?"

From the creative fires of the Los Angeles tribal underground, comes the Phoenix Projekt, a stunning blend of Peking Opera and Asian-tribal-fusion-post-apocolyptic warrior tribes. Fusing myth, magic and storytelling and set to the thundering beats of live taiko drums, the Phoenix Projekt at once captivates and amazes. Combining fire dance and kung fu, wushu and acrobatics, juggling, bellydance, Chinese lion dance and much more, the Phoenix Projekt at once captivates the heart and illuminates the darkest corners of the soul. We invite you to be a part of this magical night - a night of art, mystery, passion...and flame.
