A martial arts dance drama returns to the stage
with growing impact!

Hong Kong Dance Company (HKDC) premiered Sow Fox in 2008, as the second production of the Jin Yong Dance Drama Series; together with The Smiling Proud Wanderer (2006) and Eagle Companies (2009), formed the Trilogy of Jin Yong Dance Drama adapted from his martial arts novels. The Trilogy portrayed the martial arts classics through innovative and aesthetic approaches, and won acclaims from critics and the general public.

In respond to the support to this Trilogy, HKDC decided to rerun Snow Fox in January 2010. The performances will be staged at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre from 22 to 24 January 2010. Snow Fox was directed and choreographed by Leung Kwok-shing, the Artistic Director of the HKDC (Award winner of Best Artist (Dance) at the Hong Kong Arts Development Awards 2008). Leung is known in making the best use of appropriate dance vocabularies, together with his thoughtful dance drama structure, in engaging his audience to experience the emotions and righteousness of the original text, and to re-innovate and re-interpret the spirit of the world of Chinese martial arts. His works were praised by Jin Yong as “fabulously choreographed and superbly structured”. The rerun in January will present a new revision, with the joining forces of the Guest Artist Faye Leung and the talented dancers of the HKDC, to demonstrate the art of dance with Hong Kong characteristics. Faye Leung was the former principal dancer of the Hong Kong Ballet and her taking the leading role in Snow Fox fully demonstrates her versatility.
