Imagine stepping into a 2,200-year-old battlefield, where ancient warriors rise through mist and music while AI-controlled stages morph into the Great Wall. This is the magic of Qin Yongqing, a groundbreaking cultural drama in Xi’an’s Lintong District, where history meets cutting-edge innovation.
Staged at the Qinhuang Grand Theatre—an architectural marvel resembling bronze armor near the Terracotta Army Museum—the show transports audiences to the Qin dynasty through five acts: from battle strategies to philosophical debates about war and peace. Using dance, drama, and Klaus Badelt’s haunting score (yes, the Pirates of the Caribbean composer! ), it weaves tales of soldiers, generals, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang himself.
But here’s the twist: a 200-sqm rotating stage rebuilds Xianyang Palace in minutes, while AI lift pillars create chariots and bamboo slip matrices. 'We’re decoding Chinese civilization’s DNA in a universal language,' explains producer Chen Haiqi. The result? A viral-ready spectacle where history buffs and tech lovers alike can vibes with Qin-era ideals like 'uniform script'—no time machine needed.
Pro tip: Stay for the life-sized antique chimes and the Terracotta Army cameos. It’s like Hamilton, but for the Warring States period.
