'Macao Bride': dance has no bounds
Updated: 2004-09-24

The "Macao Bride" created by the Macao Act Art College and the Wuxi Song And Dance Ensemble tells a love story between a Macao sailor and the daughter of Portugal captain. They fall in love at the first sight and seek to elope, but the daughter of Portugal captain is kidnapped by the pirates. So the hero rescues her with the help from other sailors. The last scene witnesses their reunion.

Seemingly stereotyped, it attracts large crowds of audience by being close to the masses, which is the method pursued by the contemporary dance artists. The director also use various exotic dance arts to present the romantic love story.

Lots of dance dramas express their connotation via songs, computer light and other methods while the "Macao Bride" uses the art of dance alone to move the audience.
