Dance drama based on artwork set for Macao

One of the most recognized movements in the dance piece is the graceful but demanding backbend pose by the female dancers who symbolize the majestic scenery of the country's mountains depicted in the painting.

As one of the best-selling dance dramas in the country, Poetic Dance: The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting, which premiered in Beijing in 2021, will stage 120 shows in 2023, according to the China Oriental Performing Arts Group.
