Overview

A large cast brings A Dream of Red Mansions to the stage in a Chinese dance drama that pairs the spirit of Cao Xueqin's novel with contemporary stage design.

This large-scale dance production draws on Cao Xueqin's classic novel, selecting episodes that follow the bonds and upheavals within the Jia household. Among them are the imperial concubine's homecoming, Daiyu burying fallen flowers and Baoyu losing his jade.

Dance carries the narrative, while techniques associated with spoken drama lend the storytelling added depth. The production moves between ethereal illusion and the grandeur and sorrow of the Red Mansion, with Daiyu's death forming an especially important episode from the novel's final forty chapters.

Giant segmented scenic walls divide the stage, rising, lowering and closing to shift time and space. Their severe horizontal and vertical frames evoke a constructivist poetic language, contrasting with classical Chinese imagery and creating a visual world of beauty, constraint and impermanence.
