PAD06 | Art Education Theatre Dance-to-know Mulan by Hong Kong Dance Companyparent


The programme is offered by Hong Kong Dance Company in support of the "New to the Theatre: School Culture Day Scheme 2024/25".

About the Programme 

Combining dance education, drama and excerpts from a popular dance drama The Legend of Mulan, Hong Kong Dance Company brings the audience into a meaningful theatrical world.  Over time, Mulan as a legendary figure who disguised as a man to join the army in place of her aged father, has been praised for her loyalty, filial piety, courage and wisdom.  Art Education Theatre Dance-to-know Mulan travels through the literary world of a classic Chinese poem The Ballad of Mulan, and meets this world-renowned heroine with dance.  Let's learn about courage and kindness through the appreciation of art.
