"Dark Love Peach Flower Source"
"Secret Love in Peach Blossom Spring" cleverly uses the form of "play within a play" to integrate the modern tragedy "Secret Love" and the costume comedy "Peach Blossom Spring" on the same stage, creating an unprecedented theatrical experience. On the one hand, Jiangbin Liu and Yun Zhifan were separated due to the war, and they reunited in the twilight of their years, but there was only the affectionate tragedy of regret; On the other side is the fantasy comedy of Lao Tao, a fisherman from Wuling, who cheated on his wife and left home to fish but strayed into the Peach Blossom Spring. The two dramas are intertwined, mixed with joy and sorrow, allowing people to experience the flavors of life between tears and laughter.
Faust
In this era full of infinite possibilities, director Meng Jinghui once again used his unique avant-garde theatrical style to bring the German literary giant Goethe's "Faust" to the theater stage, borrowing cutting-edge technologies such as VR (virtual reality) technology to bring the audience into the "Faustian world" of sound dogs and horses, experience the contract between Faust and the devil, and feel the collision of technology and art.
"Miss O's Theater of Light and Shadow"
"Miss O's Light and Shadow Theater" is adapted from the novel "Ophelia's Shadow Theater", created by the Netherlands Multimedia Paper Puppet Story Association and introduced to China with a small and big vision. At the beginning of the story, Miss O, who is limited by her talent, is unable to go on stage and can only choose to work as an inscriptionist in the theater she loves, but she is never depressed and always feels happy for everything on the stage.
"Spring in the Cattle Herding Class"
In the countryside in 1949, the frustrated musician Matthew came to teach at a boys' boarding school, where the children were full of problems and the principal was rough in management, Matthew decided to organize a music group and use music to change the status quo. Under Matthew's guidance, the once lost, rebellious teenagers sang the music of their own lives with their unpolished, pure voices. "Spring in the Cattle Herding Class" is not only a musical, but also a wonderful journey of growth and redemption, telling everyone that "education is more than knowledge, love is the light of growth".
