Kwai Tsing Theatre｜Chinese Culture Festival 2025: Hong Kong Dance Company: Grand Dance Poem "A Dance of Celestial Rhythms"

Description

In Timeless Communion with Nature, We Dance

The “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” is a structured temporal order deeply rooted in traditional Chinese philosophical thought. With the transitions of the solar terms, nature comes alive in glorious colours and fragrances. “Jie” represents humanity, “Qi” embodies nature. This spectacular performance, A Dance of Celestial Rhythms, is about to arouse the audience’s visuals, auditory and olfactory senses.

We begin our journey by immersing our senses, moving through the cycles of time and life, and ultimately returning to consciousness. Come and experience this inspirational dance journey with us.
The critically acclaimed premiere of A Dance of Celestial Rhythms has won multiple awards including “Outstanding Large Venue Production” and “Outstanding Ensemble Performance” at the 25th Hong Kong Dance Awards. It will return this year as the Opening Programme of the HKDance 2025/26 Dance Season.

Comprehensive sensory experience

This splendid performance is about to captivate the audience with stunning visuals, inspiring music, state-of-the-art lighting effects and an atmospheric olfactory experience. Through the dancers’ virtuosity, the audience is encouraged to delight in each of the solar terms, essentially, to get back in touch with nature – with the seasonal changes that unfold around us all the time and that we have a tendency to ignore.
