In the work: "Fingers can talk", artist Tsui Tasi-Shan appropriated the concept of the "finger" and combine her experience in the past performance into her new work: "Fingers can talk."

As a dancer and performer, Tsui said: 'My dance teacher always told me fingers can talk in my childhood, so when I can not speak in my performance, I have to use my fingers to express my feeling to the audiences. In this project, I have to say, I know fingers can talk, BUT, I never thought that Fingers REALLY can talk until my father touched my face so gentle and soft, and use his fingers to tell me to smile and don't cry.'

This project uses the fingers as a connecting medium to discuss the 'body touch' issue of eastern family culture - we love our family, but usually don't know how to use body language to express our feeling. The project invited Tsui's family members and residents of the community of Yancheng District to participate in the performance, and through this performance to tell them: some relationships are only once in our life, and we should create some memories for ourselves and for our families, try to make a memorable gift for them, and keep some warm feeling for us.
