Qing Ming Riverside

At the end of last month, I had the wonderful experience of attending an interpretive dance performance of the ancient Chinese painting 清明上河图(Qing Ming Shang He Tu) put on by the Hong Kong Dance Company. My friend Jerry and I went and had a great time watching the artistic creation of the painter Zhang Zeduan's masterpiece come to life on the stage. I hope you enjoy a few scenes from the program bill (and my friend's mobile phone camera) to spark your imagination of this dance extravaganza!Check out the link to see one of my favorite paintings from Chinese art history!
