 The national professional art group, Gansu Dance Theatre, will show you the charm of Dunhuang, a cultural treasure of mankind. The audience will enjoy classic Dunhuang dances such as the masterpiece "Thousand-Hand Goddess of Mercy", "Playing Pipa Behind the Back and Long Silk Dance" and the dance "Melody of a White Feathers Garment", which shows the beauty of Chinese silk, as well as the instrumental performance of "Dunhuang Ancient Music", which is dated back 1100 years. These classical music and dance performances originate from the dance drama Flower Rain on the Silk Road by Gansu Dance Theatre, a milestone in Chinese dance theater. The creators of the dance drama discovered and refined Dunhuang dance from the dance images of Dunhuang murals, making Dunhuang dance "out" of the murals and becoming a major genre of Chinese classical dancing. The beautiful stage and dynamic performances represent the spirit of Dunhuang music and dance, which is free, optimistic and uplifting.
