HKDance Will Perform Dance-to-Know MULAN

Combining dance, drama and interactive elements, Dance-to-know MULAN will be performed on 16 – 18 May 2025 at Sha Tin Town Hall, and 26 – 27 July 2025 at Yuen Long Theatre. Dance-to-know MULAN immerses the audience in a rich theatrical experience, travelling the literary world of the classic Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan. Join us as we witness the extraordinary transformation of Mulan, who courageously takes her father's place in battle, embodying the Chinese virtues of filial piety and righteousness. Experience the power and beauty of Mulan's story as we honour her enduring legacy through the art of dance.

Hong Kong Dance Company is collaborating with Chung Ying Theatre Company to incorporate innovative theatrical elements into the performance of Dance-to-know MULAN. Starring contracted actors from Chung Ying Theatre Company, ChunChun and Freddie Chan, telling a story of a passionate Chinese culture researcher and a soldier fleeting from war meet by chance, and embark on a magical adventure across time and space. Audiences will witness iconic scenes including The Flames of War Lit up the Sky, In Place of Father, Battle Flags Waving, and Wearing Maiden Affection, extracted from the award-winning Folklore Dance Drama The Legend of Mulan, Hong Kong Dance Awards 2014 for "Outstanding Production" and "Outstanding Ensemble Performance, and The Hecklers 2013-14 for "Best Dance Show". This gripping tale will be infused with aromatic experiences by Aesop, engaging multiple senses to explore and imagine, skilfully weaving together the strands of Mulan's convoluted inner journey and allowing you to experience an enduring legend firsthand!
