Ropes & Drums
(1999-2015)


A children's game familiar to everyone, the skipping rope takes on a new dimension in Dralion. This creation of Li Xi Ning is brought to a new level of acrobatic prowess. As long skipping ropes beat time, the artists between them perform flips, make pyramids and even form a three-person-high column.

"Kamandé" hits the ground for this playful and final act. A creation by Li Xi Ning, this performance takes the childrens game of jump roping to a "new level of acrobatic prowess". Yellow and red fitted acrobats fill the stage holding a long, red, rope. As it beats to the music, the acrobats flip, fly and defy the forces of physics as they make pyramids and form three-person-high columns! However, the one that always gets me is the strong young man that actually jumps the rope on his hands! This is just a wonderful, wonderful act to close with - it gets the energy flowing!

A triumphant beat of the drum calls a close to the fanciful universe of Dralion. Performers spin about on stage while a solo performance of the Chinese drum fills the air. Thunderous applause errupts from those who are there to witness the specticle... and the natural order of time is returned. Dralion has ended.
