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.

Forbidden Fruit has been seen by over 3 million people in three hundred sensational performances in China, and Japan, South Korea, and Russia and is a dramatic dance sensation of passion, colours, and movement from across the many Asian cultures

This first visit to Australia is in recognition of the official celebrations for the 35th Anniversary of the Diplomatic Relationship between China and Australia.

Forbidden Fruit is choreographed by the famous acclaimed dance director Zhang Jigang, who is Executive Deputy Director of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies. He is Director of the 2008 Beijing Paralympics Games opening and closing ceremonies, and has produced more than 400 dance dramas, including "Wild Zebra", "Brother Ba'gui", and his famous dance "One-thousand-hands Guanyin (a Bodhi-sattva)".

Forbidden Fruit will thrill and excite audiences with its story of love and destiny.
