Dragons

Dragons by celebrated South Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn is a joyful mix of dance, music, holograms and spectacular costumes that brings together modern and traditional dance styles from across Asia.

Dragons in Asia represent resilience, joy and optimism. They are the inspiration for Eun-Me Ahn’s kaleidoscopic production.

Entering this fantastical world are five guest dancers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan. All born in the year 2000, the year of the Dragon, they appear as holograms, sharing their hopes and fresh perspectives on how past and future can coexist. They interact on the stage with Eun-Me Ahn and her company of seven South Korean performers with vivid and colourful projections bringing forests and clouded skies to life, powered by an evocative soundtrack, seamlessly blending traditional Korean music with contemporary pop and electronica. 

Eun-Me Ahn is one of the most important artists in South Korea. Her dance company has performed at 11 major international festivals, including the 2002 FIFA world cup in South Korea. Dragons sees her connecting with Asia's next generation of talent.
