Nomadic @ Shanghai International Dance Center
Everyone defines 'Nomadic' for themselves. It is to move away from home, to lose loved ones, and to be a migration.
Some people are willing to abandon everything they own to be nomad, to taste freedom and loneliness, to dream of the carnival of life, to look forward to the destination of the lost way.
Time, invisible but powerful; we grow up, we drift, forever on the track of time.
Wandering, even if have nothing on hand, even if have nowhere to stand, don't be afraid to move forward, let's go, leave here, go through the thorns of the road ahead, and pour the land with blood until the feet are bright. Wandering, the moment when my heart is not dependent.
This work takes the body itself as the starting point, according to the basic rhythm of Mongolian dance; combine the body movements of contemporary dance to develop and create unique dance language.
The choreographer creates body shapes in a variety of emotions with a large number of footsteps. The Mongolian broad and deep music melody outlines the emotional ups and downs of the human heart.

French Original Musical Molière @ Shanghai Culture Square
My name is Jean-Baptiste, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin.
I have set the course of my destiny, I have chosen to be a theater actor.
Molière is an indispensable part of French culture and a resounding name in the history of world theater. As one of the most significant writers of 17th-century French classicism, he was a pioneer of comedy, his works holding an important place in European theatrical history.
Centuries later, his plays still resonate. So it's hardly surprising to see Molière and his life transformed into an opera... somewhere between slam and rap.
That's the promise of Molière, L'opéra Urbain, produced by Dove Attia, the man behind such popular hits as The Ten Commandments, The Sun King and Mozart the Rock Opera.
While the sets and costumes will be period, 17th century, this is a staging that promises to be modern.
