The 12th Wuzhen Theatre Festival is transforming Zhejiang’s ancient water town into a global cultural playground from October 16–26! This year’s theme, "Fu Yao" (riding the rising wind to ascend), celebrates drama’s boundless energy with a whirlwind of performances, competitions, and interactive events. 🎪
What’s Hot at the Festival?
Over 2,000 carnival events will light up Wuzhen’s cobblestone streets, blending traditional Chinese arts with avant-garde theater from 10 countries. Catch 71 shows across 11 days—think puppetry from Indonesia, experimental plays from France, and local operas reimagined for Gen Z. 🎨
Youth Take the Spotlight
Aspiring artists shine in the youth competition, while the theatre market offers networking for creatives. Plus, CGTN’s livestream lets you soak in the magic from your couch—no flight tickets needed! 📱
Whether you’re a theater newbie or a seasoned pro, Wuzhen’s mix of history and innovation promises a vibe like no other. 🌟
