Dance drama "LOONG": Inherit and develop dragon boat culture in a new style

Jointly produced by Guangzhou and Foshan, the dance drama "LOONG" is rooted in a thousand-year dragon boat culture, and is the first realistic drama interpreting the dragon boat culture in China. Taking the long-standing dragon boat culture of the Chinese nation as the historical foundation, and the cultural integration of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao in the Greater Bay Area as the background of the times, the drama tells the story of the young people of the new era who have cut through the waves and forged ahead bravely to strive for the glory of the country, demonstrating the spirit of pulling together in times of trouble. It is reported that the play will also be presented at the 2023 China Dragon Boat Grand Prix to be held in November this year and will also be staged at the Shunde Performing Arts Center on 25 and 26 November. #artandculture
