Guess what, friends? There’s an amazing new show in town that’s mixing history with super cool technology! 🎭✨
“The Summoning of Dunhuang” is a musical drama that just premiered at Beijing’s National Speed Skating Oval. But it’s not your ordinary play. This one uses awesome digital screens, music, dance, and a futuristic stage to tell its story!
So, what’s it about? Well, it’s two love stories happening 100 years apart! 💖 One story is from 1935, about a painter named Chang Shuhong who returns to China from France to protect Dunhuang’s treasures. The other is set in 2035 and follows Zhang Ran, an intern working at the Dunhuang Digital Research Center.
And here’s the cool part: both characters are played by the same actor, Zhang Yixing! You might know him as Lay Zhang from the band EXO. 🎤 He brings both stories together in a way that’s really touching and exciting.
Zhang Yixing said, “This show mixes the deep history of the past with new digital technology to create an amazing experience. I hope everyone will love Dunhuang’s legacy and discover more about its rich culture.” 🌟
The stage uses giant digital screens that show scenes from Paris in the 1930s and live footage of the actors. It’s like being inside a movie and a live performance at the same time! 🎥
People who saw the show said they’ve never seen anything like it before. “It’s so different from normal plays and musicals,” one person said.
After its big debut in Beijing, “The Summoning of Dunhuang” is heading to Shanghai! So more people will get to see this awesome mix of history and high-tech fun. If you ever get the chance, it’s definitely a show you won’t want to miss! 🚀
