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.

Too Rich City: The Old White Swan Passenger
Digital artist Huang Hexhan's latest solo exhibition 'Too Rich City: The Old White Swan Passenger' will guide audiences through a phantasmagoric journey traversing virtual and physical realities.

Visitors will board this temporal vessel to navigate through Too Rich City's surreal landscapes, ultimately returning to the park's inaugural day, thus completing an ouroboric cycle of urban memory.
