Sydney Dance Company to Perform at the 19th Shanghai International Arts Festival
The Sydney Dance Company is returning to China in October to perform at the prestigious Shanghai International Arts Festival.
Rafael Bonachela’s epic international masterpiece 2 One Another will be performed under the stars to thousands in two concerts and the critically acclaimed double bill CounterMove will thrill audiences in Shanghai Grand Theatre and Wuxi Grand Theatre.
CounterMove comprises of two exhilarating pieces – Rafael Bonachela’s Lux Tenebris explores light and darkness with fiercely physical movement and deep, electronic beats by composer Nick Wales (long-term collaborator of Sarah Blasko). While Alexander Ekman’s Cacti is a brilliantly conceived, laugh-out-loud funny piece that dares to poke fun at contemporary dance. Featuring a string quartet live on stage, Ekman’s witty and energetic choreography has left a global trail of rapturous reviews.
Location: Shanghai Grand Theatre, 300 Renmin Ave, Shanghai
Date and time: Sunday 22 October and Monday 23 October 2017, 19:30 (65 minutes one interval)
Tickets are now available at the Shanghai Grand Theatre box office or online via SGT and Damai (in Chinese)
Groups of 20 or more also eligible for group discounts (please email for more information)
