A lavish reboot of Korean dance – part K-pop escapism, part zany performance art – that thrusts traditional form into a vibrant, Gen Z spotlight.
Choreographed and performed by Eun-Me Ahn, the enfant terrible of South Korean dance, alongside young dancers, all born in the 2000s in different Asian countries, Dragons is a kaleidoscopic fusion of street, modern, ancient and martial-arts movement that bristles with youthful, futuristic energy.
Channelling the optimism of dragons in Eastern culture – fittingly, in the lunar year of the dragon – dancers interact with holographics, fluorescent costumes, silvery tubes, and endless explosions of colour. A truly inspired work of hyperdigital expression and non-stop motion.
Getting there Te huarahi ki reira
The Aotea Centre is a short walk up Queen Street from Britomart station, and the Civic car park is conveniently located beside the venue if you’re driving.
Local tip He tīwhiri mō te rohe
Check out the sculpture of celebrated Kiwi opera singer Dame Kiri Te Kanawa which sits on Level 3 of the Aotea Centre. It was created by local artist Terry Stringer and unveiled by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa herself when the auditorium was named in her honour in 2019.
