Synopsis

Lingnan culture is rich in distinctive local customs and cultural characteristics. In this performance, Hong Kong Dance Company (HKDC) joins hands with several guest choreographers to bring together various Lingnan dances rooted in daily life. This dance performance presents the lives of people from different ethnic groups and their hometown sentiments. From the rice paddies of the Hakka people and the floating culture of the Tanka people to items of National Intangible Cultural Heritage such as Yao embroidery, the Guangdong lion dance, and herbal tea (liangcha), these cultural symbols with their deep historical imprints are integrated into stage projection, taking the audience on a journey through the personalities and social faces of Lingnan culture and showcasing the long history of Chinese culture.

Young talents from HKDC Children’s and Youth Troupes will also perform a tea-picking dances full of childlike wonder and Yao drum dances with distinctive rhythms, interpreting Lingnan customs and traditions and inspiring artistic legacy through dance.
