Part K-pop escapism, part zany performance art – a lavish reboot of Korean dance that thrusts traditional form into a vibrant, Gen Z spotlight.
Choreographed and performed by Eun-Me Ahn, the enfant terrible of South Korean dance, alongside five young dancers, all born in the 2000s in different Asian countries, Dragons is a kaleidoscopic fusion of street, modern, ancient and martial-arts movement that bristles with youthful, futuristic energy.
Channelling the optimism of dragons in Eastern culture – fittingly, in the lunar year of the dragon – dancers interact with holographics, fluorescent costumes, silvery tubes, and endless explosions of colour. A truly inspired work of hyper-digital expression and non-stop motion.
$2 per hour to a max of $12 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more.
