Of Heaven and Earth tells a story of gods and mortals. Passion ignites a war between heaven and earth and forbidden love becomes immortal. This acclaimed production was unveiled at Beijing's renowned Poly Theater in August 2001 and premiered in North America on May 29th, 2002 at The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts.

A true fusion of East and West, Of Heaven and Earth combines the grand scale of a Broadway production with the ancient traditions of Chinese dance, music and martial arts. Under the art direction and costume design of Tim Yip [winner of the 2001 Academy Award for the Art Direction for Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon], Of Heaven and Earth introduces Western audiences to a stunning new genre of live-stage entertainment. It is a spectacular combination of Chinese classical and folk dance, different styles of martial arts, and a new kind of Chinese acrobatics.

Extravagant costumes and futuristic stage design, uncharacteristic of Chinese musical theatre, combine to create an original theatrical experience for the audience. Of Heaven and Earth was the first Action-Musical that paved the way for Sight, Sound & Action to help invent the future of Chinese musical theatre for the international arena. This re-arrangement of a thousand years of tradition Chinese performing arts for use in musical live-theatre to showcase the beauty of the human form was indeed unprecedented.
