From army colonel to prize-winning dancer, the path of transgender Chinese choreographer Jin Xing is one of struggle, discovery, and metamorphosis. Her company’s American debut tour features the visceral eight-section ballet Shanghai Tango and a lavish, pageant-like production of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with more than 200 artists onstage, including Stanford’s Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Chorus, presented in partnership with Stanford’s Pan-Asian Music Festival under the direction of Jindong Cai.
