Details

Exhilarating and richly visual, Running the Silk Road tells a modern story mixed with Chinese myths using the whirling excitement of the Beijing Opera Theatre. In the year of the Beijing Olympics, a group of friends set themselves an epic challenge - to run the ancient Silk Road trading route to China, carrying an 'alternative' Olympic flame. Once on the road, complications and conflict test friendships and threaten their chances of success. Performed in English and Mandarin with surtitles.
