In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day with the public, the “Performance to Celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the National Day of the People’s Republic of China and the Haojiang Moonlight Night” – Dance Drama “Wing Chun” was held today. The second presentation of the performance will be held tomorrow (14 September), at 8pm, at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium. Limited tickets are still available and the public is advised to purchase as soon as possible.

Produced and presented by Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre, the dance drama “Wing Chun” recreates the production process of the film of the same name, relating the story of “Master Yip” who left his hometown and walked the streets full of martial arts clubs led by martial arts masters, holding a plaque engraved with “Wing Chun Tong”, with the hope of introducing “Wing Chun” to more people. Highlighting the perseverance of Chinese people with a rich storyline, this drama is a heroic story that pays tribute to ordinary people.  

Combining the national intangible cultural heritage and the folk culture of Lingnan region, “Wing Chun” is innovatively developed based on the two intangible cultural heritage items, “Wing Chun”, and “Gambiered Guangdong silk”. In the dance drama “Wing Chun”, movements of five schools of martial arts, namely Wing Chun, Southern Praying Mantis, Baguazhang, Bajiquan, and Tai Chi, are presented, precisely interpreting the essence of martial arts through dance routines and showcasing the harmony between strength and flexibility of Kung fu. Meanwhile, the performance costumes are made of Gambiered Guangdong silk, which is a national intangible cultural heritage item dedicated to Guangdong, giving the audience an impressive visual experience through the performers’ movements and manifesting the distinct Lingnan culture from the inside out. The dance drama received high acclaim and ticket sales reached a satisfactory result since its launch, drawing an overwhelming response in the national performing arts market.

The dance drama “Wing Chun” is jointly organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People’s Republic of China and the Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture of Macao Special Administrative Region Government, co-organized by the Department of Publicity and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR, coordinated by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Macao SAR Government, Shenzhen International Cultural Exchange Association, and Shenzhen Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, and supported by Sands China Limited.
