BEIJING: A troupe of Chinese dancers made history on Saturday by performing “Adi Kavya – The First Poem”, a dance drama based on Indian epic Ramayana.

The drama directed by noted Chinese Bharatanatyam exponent Jin Shanshan featured a cast of about 80 talented local performers, many of them learning the ancient South Indian art form.

The drama was inspired by the Chinese translation of Ramayana by Prof Ji Xianlin. This was the first time a Ramayana-based dance drama was staged on such a large scale in China.
