To hit Sydney this October, Forbidden
Fruit - Under the Great Wall is a Chinese dance spectacular.
Presented by Ausfeng Group & Jon Nicholls Productions, it is
a love story like no other, in the tradition of Romeo and Juliet.
Taking the social life of the merchants of China as its background,
this exquisite and colourful dance work captures the beauty and
mystery of a China long ago. With over 65 dancers Forbidden Fruit
will be showcased at the brand new Star Theatre, Star City, in Sydney
from October 11th.
Forbidden Fruit tells a tragic
but beautiful love story in the language of a dramatic dance spectacle
that is unique, precise and vivid. The wild jujube, a type of fruit
widely seen in north China, symbolises the straightforward, faithful
and resolute character of the northern Chinese people. It is a symbolism
that has stood the test of time over 500 years. It is the lasting
spirit of the merchants of Shan'xi province and it embodies the
spirit of our protagonists - the young girl and her lover - who
long for a better future and struggle to change their fate.
