In an era of mounting survival pressures, elusive meaning, and drifting relationships, "healing" is no longer a marginal whisper but a vital path to rebuild our spiritual order and find inner peace.This time, we invite you to embark on an unprecedented journey—a multisensory symphonic experience that weaves together AI art, contemporary dance, avant-garde music, and scent wandering.
About the Performance:
A Ritual of Sensory and Spiritual Metamorphosis
This 20-minute performance will unfold in three acts, gently telling the transformative journey of a lonely soul—from fragmentation and struggle to finally moving toward "wholeness." This is no mere spectator experience, but an invitation to share in an inner reflection, stirring your deepest emotional perceptions.
AI Visual Art

Digital artist Leon Krykhtin breathes life into AI, enabling it to respond in real-time to the dancer’s movements and musical shifts. The stage transforms into a unique, unrepeatable canvas of digital emotions, visualizing the dancer’s inner waves.
The Power of Physical Narrative

Sonic "Toys"
Musician Mizu crafts undulating auditory landscapes with avant-garde sounds, guiding you on a meticulously designed emotional "rollercoaster."
Scent Wanderings
Intangible scent molecules weave stealthily through each story chapter, unlocking hidden corners of memory and feeling.
This performance becomes a ritual of transformation, quietly taking root in every spectator’s heart—it lingers as a constant reminder that healing will find us all, that beauty grows from brokenness, and that on the path toward "wholeness," we are never truly alone.
Interactive Experience:
"See" Art, "Meet" Yourself
Psychology Dr. Zhu Xiangkun will guide attendees through a vibrant interactive session. Through a psychological lens, "see" art and "meet" yourself—Freely voice your innermost feelings, unearth your inner strength, build connections with others, and together transform images into insights, turning strangers into kindred spirits of the heart.

Her development with urban and commercial dance led her in 2016 to be invited as a dancer for a company in China ,whose focus is concerts and work with Asian idols such as Jackson Wang, Jason Zhang, Lay Zhang, among others.
This allowed her to perform as a choreographer for a Film Festival created by Jackie Chan and numerous jobs as a choreographer on television programs and structural planning for massive concerts such as in the National Stadium,in Beijing and many other cities within China.She also has a second degree in International Business and is currently taking a course through Google in Marketing.

Mizu^3
An unconventional sound artist and independent musician. Mizu^3' s recent work centers on real-time sound creation using modular synthesizers in combination with Ableton Live. Her music plays with instability and ambiguity, using improvisation and loose structures to shape experimental sound.
In this performance, dance serves as a bridge between sound and visuals. Music generated in real time by modular systems flows between moving bodies and mutable architecture, tracing the subtle tensions at the edge of perception and soul healing.

Photographer
Dr. Xiangkun Zhu paints with the brush of art healing and constructs her framework with the rigor of management psychology. She intertwines the rationality of neuroscience with the gentle light of Eastern philosophy, continually asking: In a rapidly shifting world, how can we find inner peace? How can a brand awaken the human soul?
In the real world, Dr. Zhu serves as a consciousness awakener for luxury brands. She has collaborated with global icons such as GUCCI, DIOR, LONGCHAMP, BVLGARI, FENDI, GOLDEN GOOSE, CINDY CHAO, IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN, BREGUET, GUERLAIN, QEELIN, and LOUIS XIII, reconstructing the emotional meaning between brands and people through the lens of psychology and art.
Her creations are not limited to a single form but instead fuse education, speech, space, experience, and language. She has been invited to share cutting-edge insights on business, psychology, and culture at prestigious institutions including the University of Toronto, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and Harvard Business School, influencing business innovators and aesthetic thinkers across industries.
She is also a photographer—but not in the traditional sense of an artist. Her work is infused with deep insight into human nature and a precise touch on the collective unconscious, giving art a unique spiritual warmth. In Dr. Zhu’s view, art does not belong only in galleries or expos; it should permeate a genuine conversation, an emotional awakening, or a moment of self-reflective gaze.
She is deeply devoted to exploring: How do consciousness, emotion, and culture shape a person, a company, or an era? Currently, she is building a cross-disciplinary system of psychological-artistic management that merges Eastern and Western perspectives—aiming to redefine the resonance between psychology, management, and art.
