Modern dancer-choreographer Wang Yuanyuan interprets prose poem Wild Grass by Chinese literary giant Lu Xun through contemporary dance. Wang's show, with the same title, will be staged in Beijing before its European tour. Taken from the prose poem Dead Fire from the collection Wild Grass, the show contains three parts, Dead Fire, Farewell to a Shadow and Dance of Extremity, expressing Wang's ideas about rebellion and freedom. Performed by Wang's 5-year-old brainchild Beijing Dance Theater, the show's music comes courtesy of Oscar-winner Su Cong, who composed the soundtrack of the 1987 film The Last Emperor.
7:30 pm, Sept 28 and 29. Tianqiao Theater, 21, Tianqiao Beiwei Road, Xicheng district, Beijing. 400-610-3721.
