The dance drama Wing Chun stole the show at the
20th China
(Shenzhen) International Cultural
Industries Fair, held in Shenzhen,
China, asserting its prominence in the cultural and creative
landscape. The performance drew the attention of numerous
international delegations, including representatives from the
Artists Trade Union of Russia, and
the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce,
and the China-Spain Business Association, creating a new and
engaging platform for cultural exchanges and mutual understanding
between Chinese and international communities.
"I find Wing Chun to be a truly distinctive and
remarkable art form. Its essence deeply resonates with me, drawing
from the rich tapestry of Chinese culture and philosophy. My
profound appreciation of this art form enhances my understanding of
the deep thoughts it conveys," said a member of the audience from
Singapore, after having witnessed
the performance. He added, "Wing Chun seamlessly integrates
dance, martial arts, and cultural elements, offering a unique lens
into China's traditional culture
and contemporary artistic prowess."
In an exquisite portrayal of cultural synthesis, Wing
Chun masterfully intertwines oriental traditions with the
vibrancy of modern artistry, creating a compelling narrative that
bridges martial arts and contemporary dance. Since its premiere in
December 2022, Wing Chun has
graced stages over 150 times, captivating more than 30,000 audience
members across various Asian locales with its distinct oriental
allure.
In the latter half of this year, Wing Chun will make its
debut on the European stage, embarking on a tour with dates in the
United Kingdom, France, and Russia. This marks a significant expansion for
the production, aiming to acquaint Western audiences with
traditional Chinese cultural practices and martial arts,
highlighting the inimitable charm of Chinese culture.
This year's fair features an expansion of the exhibition area to
160,000 square meters, spread across eight halls at the primary
venue, including the Cultural Industries Halls A and B, the
Intangible Cultural Heritage - Art and Crafts Hall, and the
