Spectacle Show, Beijing, China, January 2025
I have often heard of the Beijing Theatre, this particular show that combines music, acrobatic dance, theatre and flamboyant costumes to tell stories drawn from the historical past and Chinese folklore...
It's really beautiful to see. The costumes are really sublime, it's a shame that the light and the back background don't highlight them more. You also have to look at the actors' hands and fingers.
The show lasts an hour with 3 scenes of about 20 minutes. I really liked the 3rd ("Farewell My Concubine") then the 1st ("Autumn River") and a little less the 2nd ("The Goddess Of Heaven Scatters Flowers").
