Programme Contents

Due to popular demand, the multi-award-winning martial arts dance drama Storm Clouds will return in all its glory.  Adapted from the hugely popular Hong Kong comic book The Storm Riders, Storm Clouds extracts the most exciting parts of the story and sets it on an innovative stage that utilises digital imagery, a gleaming pool of water, sophisticated lighting and award-winning music score to reconstruct the comic realm and offer audiences great visual pleasure.  Swords wield, water gets splashed about and two brotherly heroes are torn apart by hatred and destiny in this captivating, high-action dance drama.
