Dance spectacle performed by the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater
Confucius is a new dance drama, performed by the China National Opera & Dance Drama Theater and directed and choreographed by Kong Dexin, a 77th-generational descendant Of the legendary teacher/philosopher.
Presented as part of China Performing Arts Agency’s Image China cultural exchange initiative, Confucius uses traditional Chinese music, opulent costumes, expressive choreography, and an ensemble of 50 performers to relate a quest to instill codes of ethics, honor and benevolence during a dicey but significant period in China’s history.
