According to ancient legend, the Jade Emperor wanted to be able to keep track of time and decided to create a 12-month zodiac. But what animals should represent each month and how should they be selected? The Emperor decided to hold a Great Race, open to all animals (real and mythological) in his Kingdom.

The prize: the first twelve to cross the finish line would be assigned to a month on the zodiac in the order they arrived, and their individual characteristics would represent human beings born during those months.

A story so big it has to be told with a combination of dance and theatre, as well as divided into two parts, this production dramatizes the dreams, trials and tribulations of all the animals involved and how each came to win (or lose) their special place on the zodiac.

The production will be presented over two nights.
