Synopsis
In Timeless Communion with Nature, We Dance
The “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” is a structured temporal order deeply rooted in traditional Chinese philosophical thought. With the transitions of the solar terms, nature comes alive in glorious colours and fragrances. “Jie” represents humanity, while “Qi” embodies nature. This spectacular performance, A Dance of Celestial Rhythms, will arouse the audience’s visuals, auditory, and olfactory senses.
We’ll begin our journey by immersing our senses, moving through the cycles of time and life, and ultimately returning to consciousness. Come and experience this inspirational dance journey with us.
The critically acclaimed premiere of A Dance of Celestial Rhythms won multiple awards. It will return this year as the Opening Programme of the HKDance 2025/26 Dance Season.
An all-encompassing sensory experience
This magnificent performance is set to captivate the audience with stunning visuals, inspiring music, state-of-the-art lighting effects, and an atmospheric olfactory experience. Through the dancers’ virtuosity, the audience is invited to delight in each of the solar terms—essentially, to get back in touch with nature – with the seasonal changes that constantly unfold around us.
Gathering artists from across Asia to create an aesthetic feast
Featuring a composer, costume designer, and lighting designer from Korea, as well as a digital image designer from Taiwan, in collaboration with the Hong Kong creative team, this artistic feast blends traditional and modern aesthetics. Come and join us on an autumn day as we begin an inspirational journey through the four seasons.
An award-winning and critically acclaimed production
The premiere opened to great acclaim and won two prestigious awards, “Outstanding Large Venue Production” and “Outstanding Ensemble Performance”, at the 25th Hong Kong Dance Awards.
A Dance of Celestial Rhythms is one of the promoted local stage productions of the Chinese Culture Festival (CCF) 2025.
