On October 29, the “Spanning x Linking” Stage Art Exhibition was opened at China Cultural Center in Stockholm. This exhibition invites the audience to capture the remarkable moments of Chinese theater history, while exploring the evolving role and new pathways of stage art in global cultural exchanges.
At the opening ceremony, Cao Lin, President of China Institute of Stage Design, and Professor at Shanghai Theatre Academy, delivered a welcoming speech. Following this, Hu Zuo, Director of the Department of Stage Design at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, introduced the curatorial concept and main content of the exhibition. Finally, Xie Wei, Chairman of Shanghai Theatre Academy, officially announced the opening of the exhibition.
The exhibition hall on the first floor is presented in the form of a flowing scroll, telling the story of stage art across time and space. It is divided into three sections: “Era Scroll,” “Online Museum,” and “Future Theater.” The “Era Scroll” showcases imprints of different eras; the “Online Museum” is built through an array of QR codes, allowing guests to click on a “butterfly” to enter a virtual museum world. The “Future Theater” introduces a new form of artistic expression, combining AI with performing arts. This section not only highlights technological innovation but also reflects new ideas, concepts, forms, methods, and languages emerging in the field of stage design.
In the exhibition hall downstairs, Lu Le, a lecturer of Department of Stage Design, leads a guided tour of the works. A digital semi-immersive visual space shows recent outstanding works by students and young designers, which allows guests to experience the creativity and talent of a new generation of designers.
On the opening day, guests not only enjoyed an exhibition of stage design costumes but also experienced a stunning performance of selected arias from the opera Turandot by Nan Wei, an opera singer from the Royal Swedish Opera. The opening also featured a dance show of Wing Chun, Koi Fish, and The Journey of a Legendary Landscape Painting, performed by Dance Flow Studio composed of local Chinese and international students, along with a Kunqu Opera performance of The Peony Pavilion by Hao Jingxia from Kinesisk Bro Klub Stockholm. The audience was amazed by the wonderful performances and gave many rounds of applause.
The exhibition will be held at China Cultural Center in Stockholm until November 30. We warmly welcome everyone to experience the unique charm of Chinese theater. Let us come together to bridge time, connecting the past, present, and future.
