A Colourful Children’s Dance Drama
Let there be joy!
Nothing is impossible in the world of fairy tales. The key to this
glorious realm lies in the search for dreams and love and the quest
for truth, beauty and virtue.

handpick five of the best loved stories by Hans Christian Andersen
as a portal to this shimmering world of wonder and enchantment.
Works include The Ugly Duckling, The Old Bachelor’s Nightcap,
Thumbelina, The Red Shoes and The Little Mermaid.
The young dancers’ springing footsteps will retrace these moving
tales to restore childlike innocence in your heart.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Details
Grand Dance Drama
Usurpers. Traitors. Warlords. Heroes.
Princes and governors, fair maidens and scheming eunuchs, they all
scramble for the ultimate prize, the Empire of China.
Shifting alliances and lifelong allegiance, broken oaths and failed
assassinations, the heroic and chivalrous come face to face with the
villainous and wicked on the battlefields of loyalty and betrayal.
Who will become that one man to rule all?
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is inspired by the eponymous
historical novel, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese
literature. The epic recounts the turbulent years of warfare and
intrigue at the end of the Han dynasty (206BC–AD220) until the
country reunified again under one ruler half a century later.
Complemented by contemporary visual aesthetics, the valorous spirit
and awe-inspiring personalities of the Three Kingdoms come to
dramatic life in this original Chinese classical dance drama.

Dark Root of the Scream
Trailer
Those
songs, those melodies, those steps
Mournful desolation
Reach deep into the soul
Flamenco songs capture the Gypsy’s wanderings. Melancholic
yearnings from deep in the heart, they are the soundtrack to their
harsh and rootless existence. These folk melodies captivate the
heart and soul of their audience, and unleash exceptional passion
and energy from the dancers.
Tassel
shawls and fans. Flamboyant
dresses and
long flowing sleeves.
Graceful,
restrained gestures of Chinese dance come face-to-face with the fiery,
impassioned flamenco hand-clapping and
foot-stomping. Expect the
sensuous and
the sublime.
