Image China: Dragon Boat Racing at The Kennedy Center

Dragon Boat Racing inspired the Chinese nation during the Japanese occupation of the 1930s. The award-winning Chinese dance-drama tells the story of two lovers, whose passion for each other could only be rivaled by their passion for music, and how their forbidden love led to the creation of this iconic composition. The 2014 premiere of Dragon Boat Racing achieved the status of a cultural phenomenon throughout China. Witness the powerful story of love and inspiration at Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Theater in The Kennedy Center, performed by the Guangdong Song and Dance Ensemble.
