Inside the human mind

Beijing Dance Theater's latest presentation, Poisonous Apple, is to debut in December. Chen Nan reports.

Lots of green apples dot the stage as a dancer with red lipstick, smoky eyes and a black high-collar fluffy dress walks slowly. A group of dancers holding an apple each emerge behind her and move gracefully after the lead dancer starts to run.

This scene is from a rehearsal of Poisonous Apple, the latest work of 43-year-old leading modern dancer-choreographer Wang Yuanyuan.
