Meridian Arts Centre: Greenwin Theatre, Toronto
Inspired by Eastern Asian Celestial Fox myths, the show tells the story of a celestial fox who descends to Earth and proceeds to cause trouble by creating transformations that are both universal and understandable to audiences from different cultural backgrounds.
The show is a one-of-a-kind fusion of ancient legends and contemporary dance and music ranging from baroque to flamenco, jazz, world music, and modern classics. It features both original and blended arrangements.
The interaction between the musicians and dancers is a key artistic element of the Legends of Huli project. The musicians who play various instruments also take on the roles of performers. They engage in a lively dialogue with the dancers on stage, enhancing the actions and emotions of the show. This fusion of musical skill and acting ability creates a unique experience for audiences, transporting them to a world of legends and emotions.
