Image China: Dance Drama Mulan at Wang Theatre

Being a girl in ancient China is given a great new perspective as Mulan tells the story of a young woman who takes her father’s place in the army. The timeless Chinese epic has won the hearts of many through its numerous adaptations. This fall, Image China brings forth groundbreaking production as part of their cultural exchange initiative. And what’s a better way to showcase China's rich culture and history than by telling one of its most famous stories?

Mulan is a tale of loyalty, family devotion, a young woman’s love for her father, and honor. Mulan, whose primary duty is to get married to an upstanding young man, abandons her place and disguises herself as a man. She had done this in order to take her ailing father’s place in the army. While women are not allowed to join the military, Mulan portrays herself as her father’s son and embarks on a long journey into battle. During this period, she finds friends, self-discovery, and learns martial arts. She ultimately finds love. But there are dangers in exposing her true identity.

This classic epic is given incredible choreographies, outstanding music, and great visual presentation through remarkable set designs and costumes. For this wondrous project, Image China has pulled out all the stops. Past productions from Imag China’s Drama Dance Mulan have won numerous accolades in the past. In 2018, the show won China’s most prestigious award, the 11th China Dance Lotus Award for Dance Drama. This honor was given by the China Federation of Literacy and Art Circles, as well as the China Dancers Association.

Since its inception in 2009, Image China has made it their mission to showcase Chinese culture and arts to the world. Image China’s productions have reached across the globe, including New York, London, The Kenney Center in Washington D.C., Australia, New Zealand, Italy, and more. This 2023, Image China embarks on a North American tour, which includes a stop at the Wang Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts.
