BEIJING, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The original dance
drama Wing Chun from south China's
Shenzhen was staged at the Palais
des Congrès in Paris, France on
October 4.
With three more performances to come in the following two days,
the dance drama reaped applause loud from the audiences on its very
first performance.
Created and staged by Shenzhen
Opera & Dance Theatre, the dance drama is based on the national
intangible cultural heritage of Wing Chun, a concept-based
traditional southern Chinese Kung Fu style and Xiangyunsha
(Gambiered Canton Gauze), combining traditional Chinese martial art
of Wing Chun and dance and telling the growth story of the martial
arts master Ye Wen from Guangdong's Foshan to Hong Kong.
After its debut in Shenzhen in
December 2022, the dance drama has
embarked on a global tour in cities such as London, Macao, and Paris. Up to now, over 200 performances have
been staged.
The Times praised the dance drama for seamlessly blending dance
and martial arts, creating an unforgettable cultural experience.
Besides, The Guardian gave Wing Chun a high rating of four
stars.
Wing Chun not only tells a Chinese story but also showcases
Chinese art, therefore resonating with the audience, commented
Farooq Chaudhry, a renowned dance
producer.
According to Flora Boumia, a French media liaison officer, the
dance drama shows the vitality of modern China through traditional Chinese culture, and
allows the audiences to see the profound cultural heritage and
pursuit of Shenzhen.
"This is such a memorable performance, with a perfect blend of
storyline, acting, and orchestral music," said a French audience
member on the first day of its performance in Paris.

to further promote international cultural exchanges and
cooperation.
Shenzhen, as an essential part
of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao greater Bay area and a international
high-tech and financial center, is at the cutting edge of cultural
exchanges. Shenzhen has been
constantly making its efforts to create unique cultural experience
for people around the world not only by holding concerts,
exhibitions, sports events and other festival activities in the
city, but also introducing its cultural and tourism products
abroad.
