In MULAN, wars are fought not just by men but between the gods. Set in ancient China, MULAN tells the story of the bravery and courage of the legendary character Hua Mulan, the heroine who joined an all-male army described in a famous Chinese poem known as the "Ballad of Mulan". The production showcases spectacular and innovative staging techniques, and features a brilliant choreography that fuses elements of martial arts and original music inspired by Oriental traditions.

This new musical is perfect for children and young people of all ages, musical theater enthusiasts and for those who simply want to get in touch with their Asian roots.
