Chinese dance artist Yabin Wang will work with Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui to launch a world tour of "Genesis," producers said on Sep 3.

"Yabin and Her Friends" Season 5, named Genesis, will be performed in November in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and will be staged in major theaters in Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Netherlands and Luxembourg in the following two years.

It is the first attempt of cooperation between a Chinese dancer and a world-renowned choreographer in choreography, production and performance.

With the theme of "the origin of creation and formation," Genesis uses the metaphoric description of a tree's growth to represent how the past, present and future - influenced by the uncertainties of passing time - evolve, recur and return, Wang said.

The work unveils the ever-lasting humanistic themes of the world on new and old, birth and death, love and hatred, and conveys aesthetic philosophical thoughts, she said.

"Genesis is an important creative cooperation, bringing together cultural practices of both countries," said Michel Malherbe, Belgian Ambassador to China. "I am very much looking forward to seeing the result."
