Presented by China Oriental Performing Arts Group, the acclaimed dance drama The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting sets out on a highly anticipated North American tour this summer. From July 17 to August 10, 2025, the iconic production will grace the stages of Vancouver, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Houston, offering audiences an unforgettable experience with the spirit of classical Chinese art. Inspired by A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, the Northern Song Dynasty?s monumental landscape scroll, the piece has been rarely exhibited and never permitted abroad. Rendered in vivid blue-green mineral pigments and created by the prodigious 18-year-old artist, Wang Ximeng, the original scroll remains an emblem of classical Chinese aesthetics and artistic transcendence. A lyrical, time-traversing narrative - the drama follows a modern cultural historian who journeys back nine centuries to meet the young artist. Together, they illuminate the creative odyssey behind the painting.
