Unmasking the silky veil of the ancient Western Regions
With billowing yellow sand beneath your feet and spectacular sea of clouds overhead, you glimpse into the picturesque horizon of the Silk Road and are intrigued by the enigmatic figures. Feeling the beat of the tambourine, they break into traditional dances representing the unique treasures and pride of their ethnicities. Joining force with Xinjiang Arts University, the Hong Kong Dance Company weave in silky threads of inspiration from the Western Regions’ ethnic minorities – Uyghur, Mongolian, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, Tajik, Daur and ancient Kucha. The diversity in these rich cultures is marked by their distinctive costumes and exotic rhythm to their music. In the comfort of their seat, the audience is guaranteed a magic carpet ride for a breathtaking journey to the West.
