Dance-to-know Mulan: A Contemporary Expression of Courage

Description

Experience the production Dance-to-know Mulan, which navigates through the ancient Chinese poem known as The Ballad of Mulan. Bravely disguising herself as a man to take her elderly father’s place in the army, Mulan proves her courage, loyalty and righteousness in a military career that spanned ten years. In this performance choreographed by Yang Yungtao, Mulan’s enduring legacy of strength and grace is honoured through the art of dance.

Renowned for his innovative choreography, Yang has created acclaimed works such as The Legend of Mulan and Storm Clouds, which have been performed internationally at locations such as the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre in London and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York. Yang’s artistic vision blends traditional Chinese dance forms with contemporary aesthetics, exploring themes of culture, identity and human experience.
