A popular acclaimed Lion Dance circus returns! Re-creating the Lion Dance and Chinese Opera from the classical form to a contemporary style of performance, this exciting new circus breaks the traditional arts into pieces – incorporating beatboxing, martial arts, tricking and parkour. This fusion show takes the audience on a journey with a group of physical and mental drifters, who anchor themselves in a new environment and unfamiliar land. Through re-visiting their traditional cultures, they build something new which is meaningful and they can own.
