The Thousand-Hand Guan Yin

Okay, I'm not sure why I'm posting this, except that it's one of the oddest and yet most amazing dance performances I've ever seen, particularly because all the performers are deaf, and yet all the movements are carefully synchronized with the music. This is the China Disabled Performing Arts Troupe, performing the Thousand-Hand Guan Yin, or the Bodhisattva of Compassion. More information on the dance's symbolism can be found here:

Anyway, if this performance doesn't fit the terms "art, creativity and diversity," then nothing does!
