Once upon a dream

Written by Tang Xianzu (1550-1616), The Peony Pavilion, a 16th-century Chinese drama about love, death, and resurrection, is arguably the most popular play from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

A number of artists from all kind of genres have been inspired to tell the stories in their own unique way, of which the Kunqu version is perhaps the most famous.

In April, the National Ballet of China adapted it into a ballet and now the Jiangsu Qianxian Song and Dance Company will present a dance version of it at the National Center for the Performing Arts on September 18-20.
