Dancing｜HKDC - Chinese Hero：Tales of the Blood Sword(25~27/11)
Martial Arts Dance Drama Chinese Hero: A Lone Exile
A hero destined to wander life alone for eternity
Hong Kong Dance Company collaborates once again with renowned Hong Kong comic master Ma Wing-shing to stage a feast of creativity that combines dance, martial arts, comic art effects, music, theatre and local culture in an adaption of the best-selling martial arts comic Chinese Hero: A Lone Exile.
The Martial Arts Dance Drama brings audiences into the tormented world of Wah Ying-hung, the protagonist in exile. Cursed to be a loner, Wah is the driven hero caught between his nemesis, who would spare nothing to kill all the way to become invincible, and his long-lost, wayward daughter who has trodden a dark path. Will the hero succumb to destiny, or will he fight to the bitter end?
The language of dance serves as the perfect expression for capturing all the passion and dignity in Wah’s troubled world – and brings this comic hero to life anew on stage.
