From Bavaria to Beijing

Ivan Liska, the 59-year-old artistic director of the Bavarian State Ballet, says one of his dreams has always been to tour China and the other is to return to the stage as a dancer. This week, he is fulfilling both of his dreams.

The Munich-based troupe is performing at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) till Saturday, and Liska himself will dance on stage in a contemporary pas de deux The Old Man and Me Saturday evening.
