Folklore Dance Drama: The Legend of Mulan
A beautiful girl, masked as a male soldier, fights to protect her beloved country and in the end rises up to being celebrated as a Hero of the nation… Mulan, a fearsome warrior, a legend, and now an inspiration for a major dance drama organized by the Hong Kong Dance Company that is set to take the stage from the 12th to the 14th of June at the Grand Theatre of the Hong Kong Cultural Centre.
So if you’re a Mulan fan, book a Hong Kong hotel, like the renowned Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong and be there when her story comes alive on stage. The gripping tale of how Mulan or Hua Mulan, masked as a man, bravely takes her father’s place in the army to save China has been directed and choreographed to a spectacular dance drama by the acclaimed Director & Choreographer Yang Yuntao.
This is of course not the first time the age-old folklore has been inspired into a major production. In 1998, Mulan became the inspiration of an animated movie produced by Walt Disney that gained whopping $22.8 million box office gross revenues in just its opening weekend.
