An ingenious fusion of dance, martial arts, drama, and technology
The legendary story of Mulan, a household name in China, returns to the stage in a large-scale dance drama. Centred on the themes of filial piety, loyalty, courage, and love, the production vividly depicts the heroic journey of an ordinary young woman from the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The audience will follow Mulan’s footsteps as she transforms from a sheltered maiden into a fearless warrior. With steadfast determination, she takes her father’s place on the battlefield, displays remarkable bravery, and achieves spiritual transcendence through struggle and self-discovery. More than a timeless legend, Mulan is a moving ode to courage, wisdom, growth, and self-achievement.
Co-directed by the renowned “golden duo” of the dance world, Zhou Liya and Han Zhen, the piece seamlessly blends modern stage technology with Eastern aesthetics. Through innovative visual effects and poetic choreography, this legendary heroine is reimagined for contemporary audiences, inspiring emotions and connections.
Highly acclaimed across the globe, Mulan has received numerous honours, including the 11th China Dance Lotus Award and the Special Orchid Award at the 14th Zhejiang Drama Festival. It has also been featured at the 20th Shanghai International Arts Festival and the 50th Cervantino International Festival in Mexico.
