H.T. CHEN & DANCERS’ DANCE-THEATER EVENT “SOUTH OF GOLD MOUNTAIN” at TEMPE CENTER FOR THE ARTS

DESERT DANCE THEATRE presents H.T. CHEN & DANCERS’ dance-theater event, SOUTH OF GOLD MOUNTAIN which draws from rich oral histories and documented experiences of the first Chinese settlers lured to America by the promise of gold and a better life in the southern states before World War II. The multi-generational cast will include Desert Dance Theatre dancers and Tempe’s local talent in the roles of elders and children. The contemporary sound score blends traditional Chinese music with Deep South Blues.
