Eun-Me Ahn Company - Dragons

Dragons by celebrated South Korean choreographer Eun-Me Ahn is a joyful riot of dance, music and non-stop movement that brings together modern and traditional dance styles from across Asia.

Whilst dragons are feared in the West, in Asia, they represent lightness, joy and optimism. 

Eun-Me Ahn’s kaleidoscopic production introduces five young guest performers from Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Taiwan. All born in the year 2000, they appear as holograms, sharing their hopes and fresh perspectives on how past and future can coexist. They interact on the stage with Eun-Me Ahn and her company of seven South Korean performers with vivid and colourful projections bringing forests and clouded skies to life, powered by an evocative soundtrack seamlessly blending contemporary pop with a traditional score.

Eun-Me Ahn is one of the most important artists in South Korea. Her dance company has performed at 11 major international festivals, including the 2002 FIFA world cup in South Korea. Dragons sees her connecting with Asia's next generation of talent.
