Hibiscus and the Thistle – A Panorama of Hunan

Hibiscus and the Thistle provides a rare opportunity to experience world-class players of Chinese traditional instruments from China's renowned Hunan Song and Dance Theatre, joined by UK artists. Inspired by the success of its international debut at the United Nations in Geneva, this one-night-only concert has been reimagined for the Fringe, presenting a carefully curated programme of Chinese and Western works. From the expressive sounds of the Erhu and Pipa to more familiar European classics, this performance invites audiences to listen closely as two traditions intertwine in tone, rhythm and story.
