Art and Culture | This weekend (June 26–27), the dance drama Tian Gong Kai Wu will take the stage at Huizhou Cultural and Art Center in Huizhou. Inspired by Song Yingxing and his masterpiece Tian Gong Kai Wu, the production is directed by Lu Chuan. Since its premiere in July 2024, it has toured 43 cities in China and abroad, staging 196 performances with an average attendance rate exceeding 95%. Structured around chapters including "Imperial Examination," "Writing the Book," and "Mountains and Rivers," the dance drama follows Song Yingxing's lifelong pursuit of scientific knowledge and craftsmanship after repeatedly failing the imperial examinations. Through the fusion of dance, striking visual imagery, and modern stage technology, it breathes new life into one of China's greatest classics of science and innovation.#artandculture
