About this product

Product Information

The inspirational true story of a small boys extraordinary journey from poverty as a classical dancer in communist China, to international stardom as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet and a principal artist with the Australian Ballet. A drama based on the autobiography by Li Cunxin. At the age of 11, Li was plucked from a poor Chinese village by Madame Mao's cultural delegates and taken to Beijing to study ballet. In 1979, during a cultural exchange to Texas, he fell in love with an American woman. Two years later, he managed to defect and went on to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet and as a principal artist with the Australian Ballet.

  • Heartwarming true story.

    It's a true story. One man's experience of seeking his ambition to be a first class ballet dancer & achieving that in spite of his poor family background.

  • An amazing story and production

    Totally engaging and very close to the original book. It is an incredible privilege to have Li Cunxin as our QLD (Australia) Ballet Artistic Director. He has made his home here in Brisbane and is doing amazing things - even returning to the stage to perform with his wife. What a gift to the world!
