Synchronising the fluidity of ballet with the delicacy of Chinese dance, dance drama Lady White Snake constructs two spaces of the real and mental world, giving new vitality to the legendary tale. Under the artistic direction of renowned international ballet star Tan YuanYuan, the production transforms the thousand-year-old story into a spiritual exploration of a woman’s journey of self-discovery. Lady White, Xu Xian and Fa Hai in the original story are reinterpreted as the modern wife, husband and psychotherapist respectively, while Xiao Qing (Green Snake) embodies the untamed id in pursuit of selfhood. The innovative stage design blends oriental aesthetics with new technology, breathing new life into this compelling tale through a global lens.
