Do you know the origin of the traditional dragon dance?
A long, long time ago, in a rural village, the farmers were joyfully celebrating their hard-earned harvest, but they forgot to give thanks to the heavens for the favourable weather and bountiful year. Angered by their ingratitude, the Jade Emperor commanded the Dragon King not to send a single drop of rain to the human world for the next three years!
Moved by compassion, the kind-hearted Dragon Princess secretly lent a helping hand to the suffering people. When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and sent heavenly soldiers down to capture her. The villagers, wanting to repay her kindness, racked their brains to find ways to rescue her.
Will the Dragon Princess escape her fate?
“Dragon Dance”brings this colourful folk tale to life through an interactive performance filled with engaging drama, dance, music, and specially crafted puppets. Children will be immersed in the rich world of Chinese mythology and deepen their understanding of traditional Chinese culture. Who knows —they might even become a part of the story themselves!
