Every thirteenth moon the dreaded monster Nian pays a visit to the village. The audience cast in the role of villagers must protect themselves – which animal can save them?
The story behind The Lion Dance is brought to you with all the excitement, colour and sounds of the Chinese Spring Festival by Yellow Earth, the UK’s award-winning British East Asian Theatre Company.
After the show join the performers on stage in celebrating Chinese New Year. Learn some Lion Dance steps and help scare away the monster!
