Six people, three males and three females, were tied together with many white strings. One end of the string was around a man's neck and the other on a woman's wrist.

They all tried to break the strings, but it was in vain and ended in a mess.

This work, You Are So Strange, choreographed by Li Chao, was one of the dance performances named "China Dream" during the 2016 Autumn Season of the National Center for the Performing Arts from Nov 16 to 21.
