The enduring legacy of ancient Chinese
philosopher Confucius (551-479 BC) will be told through dance in Belgrade as
officials announced Tuesday here a dance drama of the same name will be staged
next month.
A large-scale original dance drama by China
National Opera & Dance Drama Theater, "Confucius" has seen
soaring popularity since its Beijing debut in 2013. In November, the dance
drama will tour to Greece and then Bulgaria before reaching Serbia.
Speaking at a press conference on the
performance here Tuesday, Serbian Culture Minister Ivan Tasovac said the
friendly relations between Serbia and China is expanding to the field of
culture, resulting in increasing exchanges of performances and artists.
"Culture is the area where
civilizations can intertwine in the most simple and natural way," Tasovac
said.
