Philosophical movements

The Chinese dance drama, Confucius, will be performed by the China National Opera and Dance Drama Theater. Directed and choreographed by Kong Dexin, a 77th-generation direct descendant of Confucius (551-479 BC), the dance drama tells the story of the legendary Chinese philosopher as he travels through 14 states with his students, disseminating his ideas. Since its premiere in 2013, the dance production has toured globally.
