This DVD contains documentary clips of the performances performed on the occasion of Vital 2007.

'Vital 07 is a chance to experience the powerful, yet fundamentally simple, emotional relationship between the artist and the audience. With the use of technology playing an ever-increasing role in many artworks, the engagement between two people is often lost in the dazzling use of new media. Live Art is all about communication and Vital 07 will strip away the reliance on props and gimmicks to expose the essence of performance.

The selected artists are all engaging performers with a clear message to convey. Coming from around the world, they do not share a common language, yet their work is universal, dealing with issues such as power, identity and economics that everyone can relate to. All of the selected artists are of Chinese descent, from China, Hong Kong and the Chinese Diaspora. Aside from their ethnicity, what links them is a passion to involve others in their work and to create an awareness of their situation.' (http://www.chinese-arts-centre.org/?cat=13)
