Dance drama shares iconic Lingnan culture

The production will continue its nationwide tour through the end of this year, with upcoming shows in cities including Lanzhou in Gansu province, Shanghai, and Nanjing in Jiangsu province.

The drama is a blend of movement and emotion, with the dancers' graceful yet powerful gestures telling a story that transcends words.

Co-directed by Qian Xin, the production not only celebrates the aesthetic beauty of traditional dance but also delves into themes of identity, loss and the longing for reconnection. The emotional weight of qiaopi — letters sent by overseas Chinese migrants to their families — intertwines seamlessly with the dynamic energy of yingge dance, evoking a poignant exploration of personal and collective memory.
