The Guangzhou Ballet Troupe 广州芭蕾舞团 travelled to western Canada to perform at The Centre as part of the Vancouver Chinese Cultural Festival 2011 温哥华中国文化节 (Oct. 21-23, 2011). More than 30 dancers took part in presenting a variety of ballet dances. The last act of the evening was 梁山伯与祝英台 Shanbo Liang and Tingtai Zhu (The Butterfly Lovers). It is a very famous southern China folk lore. A Romeo and Juliet story for the Chinese audience. In ballet form, the storytelling is through choreography, movement, gesture, music, lighting and imaginative mise-en-scene. Not a single word was spoken. No translation necessary either. Quite a performance. The ‘East Meets West’ cultural exchange festival was organized by the Association of Chinese Cultural Foundation – Canada and APCEO Canada and had the support of the Chinese government (via its Embassy & Consulate General) and all levels (federal, BC provincial and city) of the Canadian government.
