About the Programme 

The dance drama Wing Chun was written by Feng Shuangbai, chairman of the China Dancers Association and co-directed by the acclaimed choreographers in the mainland, Han Zhen and Zhou Liya and performed by Shenzhen Opera and Dance Theatre.  The story takes the 20th century film Wing Chun as its starting point, presenting two parallel narratives - the "backstage" story of the film crew, and the "on-screen" journey of Ip Man's struggle in Hong Kong.
