Featuring performers that graduated from Russia’s most famous ballet schools, the Bolshoi Ballet Academy and Vaganova Academy, this fusion of ice dancing and ballet is sure to be a riot, with props such as hula hoops and rope skipping incorporated into the show. Producers have also claimed that a few Chinese elements will be scattered in amongst the set pieces. Despite all the bells and whistles, the classic story of a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer who can only be freed by the love of a charming prince remains a tearjerker.

AUGUST 29-31 Stage: Borges and I Selling out at the Fringe Festival, Idle Motion returns to China with their stunning, Total Theatre Award-nominated show Borges and I, exploring the life of vi- sionary writer Jorge Borges and his remarkable work. Integrating creative stagecraft, innovative video projection and beautiful physicality, hundreds of books transform into a plethora of images, from a flock of birds to a city skyline, from an airplane to a universe of libraries. Moving seamlessly between the worlds of Borges’ work and his readership, a vivid portrait is revealed of a man on the brink of blindness. Intertwined with this narrative is the tender story of a couple meeting at a haphazard book group, brought together through their shared love of literature. Performed in English with Chinese subtitles. rMB80-280, 8pm. experimental theatre, guangzhou opera house, 1 Zhujiang Xi lu, Zhujiang Xincheng, tianhe District 天河区珠江新城珠江西路1号 (3839 2888, www.gzdjy.org) win!
