The Anhui Provincial Opera Dance Drama Theatre, one of China's leading theater organizations, travels to San Francisco to perform its award-winning dramatic dance production, "Hui Ban - The Story of Anhui Opera Troupe During 1911." The event will be presented by US Chinese Dance Association and sponsored by China National Arts Fund.
This colorful and dramatic dance production tells the tale of theater people during a series of extraordinary events that took place in 1911, the year of the Xinhai Revolution, by which China's final imperial dynasty (the Qing dynasty) was overthrown, the "Last Emperor" (the child Puyi) abdicated his throne, and the Republic of China was founded. The story focuses on brotherhood, love, conflicts, and the turbulence faced by those living and trying to keep tradition alive in a tumultuous time, particularly the passionate and determined opera singers whose artistic dreams will be swept away by fate.
