在古时的中国，老百姓都过着丰衣足食、无忧无虑的生活。有一天，当大家都在田里干活、儿童在门前互相戏嬉、各家各户都忙碌一天的准备之余，山里突然奔跳出一只猙狞的怪兽，袭击民宅。于是大家共心协力，把怪兽赶走了。大家高兴欢呼，认为这是全新日子的到来、新的一年的开始，所以皆称怪兽为年兽，新的一年为“新年”，从此，华人皆有庆祝新一年的到来的传统习俗。
In ancient China, people were living in an affluence, carefree life. One day, when everyone were working in the fields, children were playing and each household were busy preparing the day, suddenly a ferocious monster appeared and attacked the villagers. Then, the villagers worked together to get rid of the monster. Everyone were happy cheering that it was the start of a new year, thus, they named the moster "Nian (which means "Year" in Chinese)" and the new year is "New Year". Since then, Chinese people celebrate the arrival of the new year as a traditional practice.
一个家户愈晓的神话故事，这一次成为了编舞家马金泉老师的创作主题。
以年兽的故事作为蓝本，共享空间在今年的新春佳节里为大家带来新创作——《年的故事》，承续了共享空间一贯的创作风格，以舞蹈及丰富的肢体动作呈现故事内容，与大家共渡一个欢乐的新年。
This time, the famous legendary story of "Nian" becomes the creative theme of our famous choreographer, Anthony Meh for our Chinese New Year production.
