The two-hour show is inspired by the classic image of the Luohe Goddess created by ancient Chinese lyric poet Cao Zhi.
The Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theater’s award-winning dance drama “Goddess and the Dreamer” will be staged at the AIA Grand Theater on December 17 and 18.
The two-hour show is inspired by the classic image of the Luohe Goddess, which was created by ancient Chinese lyric poet Cao Zhi in his classic prose “Goddess of the Luohe River” more than 1,700 years ago.
“Her body soars lightly like a startled swan, and gracefully, like a dragon in flight,” reads part of the prose.
The show boasts lavish scenes on the stage.
Diverse dance forms are showcased in the drama.
Behind the prose, the romantic love story between Cao and Zhen Fu spans centuries and is now recreated in the dance drama.
The drama vividly portrays the complex relationship between Cao Zhi and his elder brother Cao Pi, and their shared admiration for Zhen through diverse dance forms, including solos, duets and group dances.
Through graceful, vigorous dance moves and facial expressions, dancers depict the distinct personalities of the characters from the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-280).
Tickets for the show can be purchased on Damai and Maoyan.
