Chinese kung fu dance drama wows international audience
The drama has toured China since its launch last year and has won great popularity and acclaim from audiences across the country. It has been especially popular with young audiences.
The diplomats showed they are still young at heart after they watched the performance in Beijing at Poly Theater on June 21.
"It was probably the perfect blend between traditional Chinese culture and a very inspiring, moving, personal story plus the technology which we can see displayed on stage," says Duarte Pinto da Rocha, deputy chief of mission at the Portuguese Embassy in China.
Luxembourg's ambassador to China Marc Hübsch and his wife Carole Hübsch-Tompers were also touched by the drama. The couple expected that one day it will be performed outside China to allow more audiences across the world to enjoy it.
"It is an incredible performance. The combination of contemporary dance moves and traditional cultural values, kung fu moves and so on. This is just something that I never saw before," says Marc Hübsch.
