In a remarkable collaboration, CapitaLand Malls has partnered with Tell Your Children, one of Singapore’s foremost creative studios, to present an awe-inspiring spectacle for the Lunar New Year – the “Dance of the Dragon.” This animated light art installation reimagines the traditional dragon, blending cultural heritage with modern innovation.
Captivating the Senses: Dance, Lights, and Music in Perfect Harmony
The heart of the celebration lies in the 8-meter-wide dragon that comes to life with color-chasing LED lights, gracefully dancing to the rhythm of music. The collaboration brilliantly melds Tell Your Children’s vibrant and playful artistic style with the fiery spirit of the dragon, creating a visual feast that sets the stage for a joyous Lunar New Year celebration.
