2047 APOLOGUE

A huge spectacle consisting of 8 mini-shows, including a laser show, dance, drumming, an iPad show, LED show, hip hop and more-all created by world renowned artists, choreographers and performers and directed by the highly acclaimed Zhang Yimou. 

The director extends the traditional forms of stage performances, combining Chinese folk art with modern technology. The show consisted of eight performances, which were prepared by 20 international and local teams. The Radugadesign studio in cooperation with WHITEvoid (Germany), the director of the London Theater of Contemporary Ballet Rose Alice and CPG-Concept (Lisa Keegan) developed a visual accompaniment for the kinetic dance performance "Weaving Machine". This one concluded the show. In each of the performances, the emphasis was focused on the fact that technology and humans are merged together, but nothing is eternal and technology can leave us.
