Overview

Martial arts meet dance in Wing Chun, created by Han Zhen and Zhou Liya for Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre.

Principal dancer Chang Hongji joins a production that brings Wing Chun, Praying Mantis, Bagua and Tai Chi into its movement language. Traditional xiangyunsha fabric forms another thread in a work connecting martial arts and cultural heritage through dance.

The dance drama Wing Chun was written by Feng Shuangbai, chairman of the China Dancers Association, co-directed by the acclaimed choreographers in the Mainland, Han Zhen and Zhou Liya and performed by Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre. The story begins with the 20th century film Wing Chun, presenting two parallel narratives: the "backstage" story of the film crew, and the "on-screen" journey of Ip Man’s struggles in Hong Kong. The performance integrates martial arts with classical and modern dance, providing the audience with a captivating visual experience.
