Wuhan Acrobatic and Cultural Troupe to visit Dunedin

Chinese New Year is fast approaching - and with it a once in a lifetime opportunity to see one of China's foremost acrobatic troupes performing live in Dunedin's iconic Regent Theatre.

To celebrate 2017, the Year of the Rooster, the Wuhan Acrobatic and Cultural Troupe will appear in a one-off concert on Thursday 19 January and providing a chance to immerse the whole family in the beauty and excitement of China’s evocative arts.

The Wuhan performers will be making a special trip to Dunedin for their one-off concert showcasing Chinese culture as well as to help raise funds for The Dunedin Chinese Garden, the Dunedin Chinese Scholar and Student Association and the New Zealand Chinese Association, Otago & Southland Branch.

This will be a unique opportunity to experience the exotic and aesthetic art of Chinese acrobatics from one of the People’s Republic of China’s oldest acrobatic troupes who, together with the singers, musicians and dancers from the Wuhan Singing and Dancing Theatre, will make up this acrobatic and cultural troupe direct from Wuhan.

Dong Yanfeng, a singer of tenor love songs who graduated from Wuhan Conservatory of Music, and Wan Jing, a National B-Class soprano, both sing with the Wuhan Singing and Dancing Theatre and will be showcasing their expertise to the Dunedin community.

Don’t miss the South Island’s only public performance–one show only in Dunedin, with all net proceeds going to local organisations.
