Flowing between ‘cognitive essence’ and ‘aesthetic realm’, the dancers use their bodies as paint brushes to express freely on stage! Inspired by the poetry and life of the literary giant Su Dongpo, Dongpo: Life in Poems integrates music, dance, poetry, and painting into a captivating show.  Su Dongpo’s calligraphy and poetry are both powerful and graceful, brimming with emotions and artistic style.  Blending contemporary dance with various traditional Chinese culture elements such as poetry, traditional Chinese painting, calligraphy, seal engraving, guqin, Chinese opera, and martial arts, this programme brings Su Dongpo’s ancient verses to life on stage, crafting an immersive journey where ‘poetry embodies dance and dance incorporates poetry’.
