Dance drama shares iconic Lingnan culture

Rooted in the rich heritage of the Lingnan region in southern China, particularly Guangdong province, these traditions intertwine to tell a timeless story of love, separation and reconnection.

Since its premiere last year, Odes to Heroes has been staged 38 times across China, including a series of performances at the Beijing Tianqiao Performing Arts Center from July 31 to Aug 2, following its debut at the 7th China Xinjiang International Dance Festival in Urumqi, capital of Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.
