Kuwait’s Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Cultural Centre recently buzzed with energy as the vibrant performance ‘Xinjiang is a Nice Place’ dazzled audiences 🎭. Featuring acrobatics, folk dances, and soul-stirring music, the show transported viewers to northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region—a crossroads of cultures along the ancient Silk Road.
Divided into three acts, the 90-minute spectacle spotlighted intangible cultural heritage treasures:
💃 Dance from the Tianshan Mountains: Kyrgyz epic ‘Manas’ met the rhythmic Uygur Muqam classic ‘Jula’.
🎶 Songs of the New Silk Road: Melodies bridged modern arrangements with timeless traditions.
