Hey there! Have you ever dreamed of traveling through time? 🚀 Well, a new musical play called ‘The Summoning of Dunhuang’ is making that dream come true on stage! 🎭
This amazing show brings the ancient city of Dunhuang to life with a mix of music, dance, and super cool technology. Dunhuang is a real place in China that’s famous for its incredible caves filled with beautiful art and history. 🏜️✨
The story jumps between Paris in 1935 and a futuristic Dunhuang in 2035! 🌍⏳ It follows two characters connected by the magical Silk Road. One of them is Chang Shuhong, known as the ‘guardian of Dunhuang,’ who left France to protect the Mogao Caves. The other is a young intern working in the future!
Guess what? Both characters are played by the same actor, Zhang Yixing, who is also a famous singer! 🎤 He says it’s a fun challenge to play two different people in one show.
The stage is transformed with giant digital screens, animations, and live-action footage. It’s like stepping into a virtual world! 🖥️🌌 Multimedia designer Hu Tianji says it changes how we see space and makes the experience totally immersive.
By mixing old stories with new technology, ‘The Summoning of Dunhuang’ shows us how cool history can be. It’s a fantastic way to learn about culture and have a great time! 🎉
