| The dance drama "Qingming Riverside" is playing at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. (CNTV) |
Traditional dances dating back to the 12th Century, including boat rowing on land, have been reinterpreted by modern aesthetics.
Artist director Leung Kwok-Shing said, "We use the language of body, the design of the stage and clothing to express the emotions of people in a flourishing age and to create a sense of poetry. I hope this tour can show the world the elegance of Chinese culture."
The "Qingming Riverside" is the most successful production from the Hong Kong Dance Company in recent years. It premiered in Hong Kong in 2007, and was performed during the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The American debut has been joined by the Guangdong Song and Dance Ensemble.
