This year's blockbuster interactive drama left Shanghai for the first time for the tour, and the Foshan Grand Theatre is the first stop on this tour and the only one in Guangdong Province. From May 11th to 23rd, "Money World", "Money World", will be staged for 16 consecutive performances at the Foshan Grand Theatre, allowing fans in the Pearl River Delta region to get up close and personal with this internationally renowned interactive drama with financial themes.
Before entering the theatre and entering the World of Money performances, you'll be greeted by glittering backdrops, bold, cutting-edge ambience and ubiquitous financial symbols. In the performance space, the audience transforms into a bank, sits at ten tables, and forms a "market" with seven spectators at the same table, facing the "dealer" played by the actor (representing the government, the central bank, etc.); all the tables are in a large circle to form an "international market". In two hours, the audience will carry out financial operations such as investment, lending, mergers and acquisitions, and transactions, affecting the direction of the capital market.
This is the dramatic scenario constructed by "The World of Money". The basic concept of "World of Money", "€¥$", is to build a financial world in the theater, inviting the audience to participate in an investment, experiencing the ups and downs of the market and the rise and fall of the financial system. The plot simulates the world's financial history in the past hundred years, restoring the entire process of the financial world to the crisis. The biggest highlight of the play is to use the concept of interaction to tell the financial system we live in, making it accessible and easy to understand, and translating the intricate and colorful financial ecology into a theater experience. Audiences do not need to master complex financial knowledge in advance, and under the guidance of live actors, they can quickly enter the theatrical atmosphere and harvest their own unique experience.
It is understood that the play was created by the Belgian experimental theater company Ontroerend Goed, and quickly became a hot play in global performing arts festivals after its launch in 2017. Since its premiere, it has been popular at heavyweight international arts festivals including the Edinburgh International Arts Festival in the United Kingdom, the Avignon Festival in France, the Hong Kong International Arts Festival, the Macau Arts Festival, etc., and has won several awards in the media and professional fields.
