Stage director Chen Shi-Zheng recruited an acrobatic troupe from Dalian, China, to perform in The Bonesetter’s Daughter. They first appeared behind a scrim at the beginning of the opera, flying through the air along with video projections and stage smoke to create a fantastical foggy scene, out of which Precious Auntie, LuLing and Ruth enter to sing the prologue. Filmmakers Monica Lam and David Petersen traveled to the Dalian Circus School to meet the acrobats and watch them rehearse for their American operatic debut.
