25-27 Jan 2018 7.30pm at Hackney Empire Book now from £10: https://hackneyempire.co.uk/whats-on/the-handan-dream/ Combining bold design with drama, stagecraft and symbolism, this contemporary telling of a classic Chinese play is the story of a man who dreams an entire life only to wake up in the inn where he started. Performed in in Mandarin with English surtitles and with strikingly colourful costumes by one of the lead costume designers on the Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony, The Handan Dream began life in Guangzhou and has been performed at the National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing, as well as touring internationally.
