Hailing all the way from China, the Jiangsu Centre for the Performing Arts has created an original dance drama based on one of the Chinese Four Great Classics, The Dream Of Red Mansions. The production focuses on the romantic rivalry and friendship between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai. This modern reimagination of the 18th century classic tells the love story through graceful and elegant dance scenes drawn from ancient paintings’ aesthetics and Chinese antiquity. The Jiangsu Centre for the Performing Arts is known for marrying tradition and the modern, incorporating contemporary techniques into traditional classical works. The company was established in 2001 and has won 18 Plum Blossom Prizes and 21 Wen Hua Awards.
