about the project

An Nuo’s Dance Documentary and Feature  Movie titled:  The Roots of Passion.    

Director An Nuo’s Statement: 

The story narrates a pioneer and star of the contemporary performing artist, An Nuo, seeking a reason why she always has passion and love to create work rather than be a normal woman. This question always confuses and even judges herself. A dream from the Goddess of wisdom, Athene which triggers to go to Europe finding a reason. An Nuo has crossed three doors of Visas, met five masters in different counties and periods which mainly and profoundly impacted her growth of her artistic life. And the last she integrates self and over-self, and finds the answer. 

The movie expresses a female artist who has bravely explored through her own creative way and believes in her passion and love. Meanwhile, the social opinion and adjustment of existence has made her feel heavy and stressed, especially as a woman has a conventional standard. She strongest connects with these master artists which have impacted her as the root of growing and spiritual connection.
