On April 21, 2026, the press conference for My Mulan Season 8 was successfully held at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre (Robertson Theatre) in Niagara. Government representatives, arts leaders, and community partners gathered to celebrate the official launch of the 2026 summer season.

A Cross-Cultural Dance Theatre Production
Producer Xu Hu and Chief Director Li Lin shared the artistic vision behind My Mulan. Li Lin noted:

“We aim to tell a story through movement, music, and emotion—one that resonates beyond language, culture, and generations.”

As the first original Mulan-themed dance drama in North America, My Mulan blends Chinese dance, contemporary dance, jazz, hip-hop, and martial arts, creating a visually striking and emotionally engaging theatrical experience.

Community Impact and Cultural Growth
Presented by the Canadian Mulan Culture Promotion Association, Lindance Academy, and the Canadian International Dance Culture Association, My Mulan holds historic significance as the first original Mulan-inspired dance drama created in North America. Local leaders, including Deputy Mayor Bill Phillips, recognized the production’s contribution to cultural life in the Niagara region and its role in strengthening community engagement through multicultural artistic expression.

The project is increasingly positioned as a long-term cultural initiative with broader social and artistic impact.
