Last November, when Wang Yabin toured Europe with Genesis, a collaborative dance work she made with Belgian choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, she took with her the novel The Moon Opera, written by Chinese author Bi Feiyu, as well as DVDs of the TV series based on the novel.
Dancer-choreographer Wang is also an actress - she is the dance double for actress Zhang Ziyi in Zhang Yimou's 2003 film House of Flying Daggers.
Wang read the novel and watched the TV series in her spare time during the tour. She wondered: Could she adapt The Moon Opera into a dance work?
