The Hong Kong Dance Company draws inspiration from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature to create an epic dance theatre of the same title. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is China's most outstanding historical novel. It drew on real figures and events from the Three Kingdoms period and embellished them with imagination, immortalising history for posterity through fiction.

The Three Kingdoms (220-265 AD) accounted for merely 45 years in Chinese history. This short period, no more than a split second out of the long timeline of civilisation, created more heroes, legends and awe-inspiring personalities than any other period. The Three Kingdoms became an inexhaustible talking point, where artists from around the world come to find ideas and inspiration. 

Assistant Artistic Director of the Hong Kong Dance Company and winner of the 2009 Hong Kong Arts Development Award for Best Artist (Dance) Yang Yuntao combines dance with Chinese opera and theatre elements to paint the thrilling tales of chivalry on stage. Romance of the Three Kingdoms will premiere at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Grand Theatre on 10 September 2010, for four performances only until 12 September 2010.

The full company of the Hong Kong Dance Company and Chan Chu-hei, two-time Best Leading Actor of the Hong Kong Drama Awards and will recount turbulent years of warfare and intrigue in the ultimate Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
