Chinese Dance X Martial Arts “혾홤홣홫홚홧활홚홣환홚”—Tickets NOW available at POPTICKET!

혾홤홣홫홚홧활홚홣환홚, is a culminating work created through a three-year interdisciplinary research study on Chinese dance and Chinese martial arts traditions.

In Hong Kong Dance Company's three-year-long study, its artists have explored the essence of both traditional practices, extracting new perspectives on movement and the fluidity of expression between ideology and physical gesture. 혾홤홣홫홚홧활홚홣환홚 brings these discoveries together, capturing the transient between stillness and motion, tranquillity and exuberance; all that one may find through the synergy of dance and martial arts.
