The Chinese National Award-winning dance drama, , is coming to Melbourne for two performances only, on 10 and 11 March 2015 at the Palais Theatre.
tells the story, through the language of the traditional Chinese folk dance, of young southern Chinese sweethearts torn apart by distance.
Both from wealthy families in an ancient town, the bride-to-be hangs on to the promise of marriage through the long years by dreaming of the red wedding dress she will wear.
Through four acts, "Dream Love" "Dream Farewell" "Dream Return" and "Dream Wedding", the bittersweet love story is woven around the rich tapestry of Chinese folk culture.
The central importance of the traditional wedding customs in a young girl's life will resonate strongly with western audiences as they are taken on a journey with the young lovers in their pursuit for peace and happiness.
After premiering in New York in 2014 to excellent reviews, the China Ningbo Performance & Arts Group, presented by the China Arts and Entertainment Group is bringing this visually stunning love story to the rest of the world.
