Mayflower Theatre was brought to life on Monday night by the Eun-Me Ahn Dance Company.

A festival of traditional and modern Asian dance lit up the colourful Mayflower stage that saw performers from South Korea, Malaysia, and Indonesia non-stop dance their way to entertaining fans of all ages.

Accompanied by holograms projected onto a clear screen at the front of the stage, Eun-Me Ahn's 'Dragons' is a kaleidoscopic production that needs to be seen to be believed.

An immersive 75-minute production – with no interval – seven dancers swayed, flipped, and vaulted their way across the stage in vivid colour to symbolise the dragon that forms part of South Korea's cultural identity.

The blend of several dance genres even saw children in the audience try to replicate the same moves from their seats.

Speaking of the production, Joe Bates, chief executive at Dance Consortium, said: "Contrary to the depictions of fire and destruction, dragons represent water and agriculture as well as having other connotations around feelings and optimism.

"Eun-Me explores their various meanings through a kaleidoscope of colourful costumes, holographic imagery and stunning choreography.

"We felt that audiences around the UK deserved to see this piece of work and to be immersed in South Korean art, technology and dance."

Eun-Me Ahn is one of the most significant South-Korean artists to tour the world.

Her dance company has performed at 11 major international festivals, including the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

'Dragons' sees her thrust Asia's newest talent onto the stage, with all but two of the company being born in the year 2000.

No doubt the performers would have been encouraged by the reception they received during the curtain call as the audience inside Mayflower Theatre participated in an unbroken applause to allow them to take a bow on three separate occasions, before they departed the stage.

A visually thrilling showcase of dance, Eun-Me Ahn Dance Company's 'Dragons' runs at the Mayflower Theatre from Monday, February 24, until Tuesday, February 25.
