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.

A Venetian merchant, Marco Polo’s journey took him along the Silk Road, all the way from Europe to Asia in the 13th century. Originally invited to the court of Kublai Khan with his father and uncle, Polo remained in China for the next 17 years, as the Mongol ruler sent him on missions to distant parts of the empire. Although Polo was not the first European to make his way to China, his travelogue – Il Milione (The Million, or The Travels of Marco Polo) – inspired many other explorers.
