On September 6th at 2 PM local time, the 10th performance of the original dance drama "Wing Chun", produced in Shenzhen, began its London tour. This performance also marks the 200th show of "Wing Chun" at home and abroad.
"Wing Chun" began its European tour at the end of August 2024, with the first stop being the renowned cultural center and international performing arts capital in London, UK. The show ran for 12 performances at the Sadler's Wells Theatre. Although the performances were scheduled on weekday afternoons, the theatre was packed, and the enthusiastic response surprised even the theatre staff.
Many audiences said they learned about the London performances of "Wing Chun" through word of mouth from friends or online information, describing the show as "unparalleled". "There are only a few performances left here, so I come and see it on purpose," said Mark, a British spectator. Additionally, some viewers mentioned that through "Wing Chun," they have gained a better understanding of Shenzhen and have added it to their list of desired travel destinations.
On December 22nd, 2022, "Wing Chun" debuted at the Shenzhen Poly Theatre to a full house and rave reviews, which marked the start of its national and global tours. "Wing Chun" has traveled to 38 cities worldwide in less than two years. It has performed in Singapore, danced in Hong Kong, China, been invited to the Huabiao Film Awards, and appeared on CCTV's 2024 Dragon Year Spring Festival Gala and the CCTV AI Gala, creating a wave of excitement wherever it goes. The current 12-show run in the UK is part of a commercial operation, and from October 4th to 6th, "Wing Chun" will continue with four performances at the Palais des Congrès in Paris.
