Considered as one of the most mysterious masterpieces of surrealist paintings, it leaves Tan open to various interpretations, which is captivating for her.

In 2000, Tan performed as the leading woman in a bright red dress in a dance work, titled Magrittomania, choreographed by Yuri Possokhov, former principal dancer with San Francisco Ballet. The dance work paid tribute to the painter Magritte.

"Magritte, with his art, presents paintings that are beautiful in their clarity and mystery, which provokes unsettling thoughts," adds Tan. "I believe that arts are mutual and they inspire one another. What we want to do is to combine them together and present them as a whole to the audiences."

For a long time, Tan wants to expand visions about dance through crossover projects, hoping to engage audiences with different perspectives about dancing and displaying choreographic creativity.
