Tango in silk
XI Liu

A Shanghai dream wrapped in silk and rhythm. Tango in Silk tells the story of an East Asian woman arriving in the UK — her fear, tension, and cultural collision expressed through a fusion of Argentine tango and Chinese qipao style. A short but powerful journey of identity, movement, and transformation.
