H.T. CHEN & DANCERS: LUNAR NEW YEAR OF THE SNAKE

Ring in the Lunar New Year with H.T. Chen & Dancers, presenting two signature works, Opening the Gate and Mott Street, for its first main stage concert since the 70 Mulberry St building fire. H.T. Chen’s Opening the Gate is a ritualistic journey of struggle, perseverance, and the eventual transcendence of the limitations of the ego and the material world. In the world we live in today, marked by uncertainty, upheaval, and persistent challenges, Opening the Gate reminds us that despite the darkness, there is always a path forward. Excerpts from Mott Street celebrate the resilience and collective spirit of the Chinatown community as we welcome the Lunar New Year of the Snake.

Choreography by H.T. Chen has received critical acclaim for its national and international tours, extended residencies in communities throughout the US, and award-winning educational programming.
