An exquisite high-level art fiesta will be brought to Seychelles by a top Chinese troupe – the Liaoning Art Troupe -- during the first ever Seychelles-China Day at the end of this month.

As a gift to all in universal pursuit of art and beauty, free tickets will be available at the front desk of the Chinese embassy at St. Louis.

The performance itself will take place on February 2 starting at 3pm at the International Conference Centre.

The Liaoning Art Troupe from China consists of 35 outstanding performers from Liaoning Corps de Ballet, Liaoning Opera House, Liaoning Song and Dance Troupe, Shenyang Acrobatic Troupe, Jinzhou Puppet Troupe. This time, the troupe will put on performances with a rich variety from ballets, singing, acrobatics, magic to puppet show.

The Liaoning Corps de Ballet is among the top five in China, who has creatively integrated traditional Chinese art and modern elements in classical ballet, and won various medals and honors at home and around the world. The Corps has been invited to visit France, Germany, Australia, New Zealand and the U.S., and has represented China in 2013 cultural exchange with Brazil.

During their stay in Seychelles, the top-level dancers will present classical ballet passages like Raymonda, as well as several original modern ballet pieces.

The Liaoning Opera House, Song & Dance Troupe, Acrobatic Troupe and Jinzhou Puppet Troupe have also been invited to perform abroad for many times, winning great applause from overseas audiences.
 
This year the troupe hopes to add to the glory of Seychelles-China Day and contribute a treat of arts to Seychellois.
