Set upon an altar in an ancient temple, Dragon's Daughter weaves exquisite carved puppets with dynamic masked dance and storytelling in a production that is both solemn and lyrical. The story follows young Gum Lin's departure from her aged grandfather, the trials she experiences on her quest to find the secret lake, her perilous encounter with the Dragon of Greed -- and her friendship with his magical daughter. 1997-2004.

 

 


 

 

"A story for our time and all time, Dragon's Daughter soars with humanity. The work transcends the merely dramatic; its content and method achieves a spirituality worthy of its setting."
Times Record

"Dragon's Daughter is universal, timeless, ageless. Adults will be transformed to a child's sense of wonder. Yet the approach to the performance is immensely sophisticated, with robed priestesses clearly manipulating the pliant puppets. In the best tradition of the ages, this is theatre of the senses, of ritual and wisdom, drama and dance, and a story both subtle and compelling that will reveal itself long after the lights go on."
