The Story

Once, there was an Emperor who has everything but just lacks something…

One day, he dreamt of this ravishing Tatar teaching him to dance with reckless abandon. He was so caught up with this woman of his dreams that he had to drop all his work to his Empress to find this woman. Will he find this dream girl in Tatary to or is there another awakening that waits for him?

This is a brand-new Teochew Opera adapted from a Min Opera script with an eclectic philosophical mix of desires, power, love & sacrifice, not to mention, plenty of good laughs.

Director: Huang Miaofeng (Fujian, China)
