Led by Tan Yuanyuan, the dance theater production White Snake brings together a stellar cast of Chinese dancers who have been active on the global stage over the past decades.
Jointly produced by the Shanghai Grand Theatre, the Dadi Music Co, the Shanghai Opera House and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the production premiered at the Shanghai Grand Theatre last Friday, with five shows to be staged until Nov 7.
Choreographed by Chinese American artist Edwaard Liang, the production presents a story that spans modern-age reality to the dreamy world of ancient Chinese folklore and features a combination of ballet, folk and classical Chinese dance, as well as modern dance expressions.
