BalletX Beyond series for 2020 choreographers include Caili Quan

Her dance film centers on the feeling of “mahålang,” a Chamorro word that she defined as “to yearn, to long for, or to miss something, someone, or some place … [in a way that is] both happy and sad.” The closest English word might be nostalgia, but Quan explained that mahålang is more visceral and heartfelt than that.
