Rhythm of the Drums: Song of the Cicada

Exuberant drumming, dramatic dance, heartfelt singing and glorious ethnic costumes create a spectacular show by this multi-award-winning music and dance troupe from the minority Dong and Miao peoples of southwest China. From the Wood Drum Dance of the Miao people (known as ‘oriental disco’ for its frenetic movements) to the ethereal beauty of the love songs of the Dongzu, sixteen performers, wearing stunning headdresses, amazing jewellery and playing ethnic instruments, will enthral, delight and reveal the rich cultural heritage as practiced today in their remote mountain homes in southwest China.
