This demonstration of enthusiasm truly showcased the magnetic power of the performance.

A majestic masterpiece of Tai Ji Men,“Back to the Origin,” will make its debut, akin to an Eastern rendition of the“Siddhartha.” The play is a wake-up call, a fable that tells the story of human origins and destiny. It sheds light on how, in the vast cosmic currents, one can transcend the ego, confront the battles of good and evil, and make choices guided by conscience. Each captivating scene guides the audience through the dimensions of time and space, awakening the deep-seated conscience within, rediscovering the true self. It also helps more people to find solutions for their body, mind and spirit.

Gathering the wisdom and Truth of a 6,000-year-old culture,“Children from Heaven” inspires the goodness thought

With the wisdom and truth of 6,000 years of Tai Ji culture,“Back to the Origin” allows spectators to grasp their own path in life. One of the contributors to the script points out that“Back to the Origin” serves as a reflective mirror for today's world, where desires, temptations, power, fame, and conflicts seem to proliferate. When the human heart succumbs to temptation, how can one break free from bewilderment and attain spiritual freedom?

Just like the protagonist Ade, Tsai, Meng-hsuan, who flawlessly portrays Ade throughout the play, resonates with the character's essence as a representation of present-day individuals. He firmly believes that Ade embodies the struggles and aspirations of contemporary society, and that the ultimate remedy for the flaws of human nature lies in heeding the voice of goodness residing within one's heart.

The cast of over 600, hailing from various states across the United States and around the world, and ranges in age from 8 to 72 years old, all disciples of Tai Ji Men. Under the guidance of Dr. Hong Tao-Tze, the Grand Master of Tai Ji Men, they have been involved in every aspect, from scriptwriting to music composition, costume design, set construction, and prop creation, presenting classical culture through innovative means. In this drama, the almost lost ancient martial arts are rejuvenated and blended with the new generation, giving rise to a fresh chapter in martial arts development that transcends the ordinary.

The music, an integral part of the performance, holds immense power. From the captivating chants laden with ancient wisdom to the poignant strains of the indigenous melody "Children from Heaven," the music not only stirs the audience, but also purifies their hearts during the moments when Ade and the others face defeat at the hands of demons that exploit human weaknesses. "It was truly moving! Even a woman in her sixties felt her heart resonate. The melodic chants brim with ancient wisdom. Rooted in years of practicing Tai Ji Men Qigong, the disciples deliver resonant voices from their“dantian”, sending reverberations deep into the souls of the audience.
