Panda's Dream is a cultural production that highlights the talents of thirty-four young dancers from London, Ontario. Ironically, the youngest performance group at the London Fringe will be showcasing an ancient art form.
Chinese traditional / folk dance is a dynamic, exquisite and expressive form of dance that most Londoners have never witnessed. The original music in the show incorporates many traditional Chinese instruments. From the soulful sound of the Erhu to the hypnotic Bamboo Flute, the music is spellbinding. The beautiful music was written, scored and orchestrated in China last summer to compliment the choreography and storyline of this production.
Panda’s Dream promises to be one of the most delightful productions to hit the London Fringe Festival. Beautiful costumes, adorable dancers and a lively, enchanting performance combine for a remarkably refreshing show that is truly “candy” for the senses!
The drama focuses on “Little Panda” who lives in a beautiful pristine utopia. All the animals live happily in harmony. Panda has a terrible vision of what could happen to his beautiful homeland if it is touched by the terrible “white storm” (pollution). The dancer’s transform into the “white storm” and Panda and his friends are not happy with what is happening to their once beautiful home. The story ends happily and hopefully it will make the audience consider how it is not just man that is affected by waste and pollution, but animals and the beauty of nature that are also compromised by our careless actions.
