STORYLINE:
Accompanied by the music of composer Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, nearly 20 Hong Kong dancers showcased the charm of the "shared origin of martial arts and dance" through Chinese martial arts including Tai Chi, Tuishou and Sanda.
The Rite of Spring is a great piece of classical music. Miranda Chin, artistic director of Hong Kong-based Miranda Chin Dance Company, said that countless artists around the world have interpreted this work through their own cultures, inspiring her to create a dance drama that integrates Chinese elements and oriental aesthetics.

"It's an exchange between the East and West. The collision of Western music and our Chinese culture can create a wonderful spark of friction."
After more than 20 years of creation and refinement, Chin's team's He and The Rite of Spring ("He" means "harmony" in Chinese) made its debut at French May, a large-scale art and cultural event in Hong Kong, in June 2023.
The dance drama was one of 12 arts projects in Hong Kong selected and awarded by the China National Arts Fund 2024. The funding enables Chin's dance company to go on a tour in various places throughout the year.
Later this year, Chin's team will bring the dance drama to France. Chin looks forward to seeing foreign audiences appreciate Chinese culture which values harmony and peace through familiar music.
