Matthew Bourne's audacious, rule-breaking reinvention of Tchaikovsky's masterpiece caused a sensation when it premiered almost 30 years ago. It has now become the most successful dance theatre production of all time, creating new audiences and inspiring generations of young dancers.
In celebration of that ongoing impact, Swan Lake will take flight once more in a major new revival for the next generation of dancers, and for audiences who will experience it for the very first time.
Thrilling, bold, witty and emotive, this genre-defining event is still best known for replacing the female corps-de-ballet with a menacing male ensemble, which shattered convention, turning tradition on its head.

Shakespeare's Macbeth tells the story of a power-hungry couple consumed by guilt—but what if the tale was hers alone?
Lady M reimagines the classic tragedy through the eyes of its most infamous heroine, blending Western pop music with a bold, sung-through narrative.
Adapted by British composers James Beeny and Gina Georgio, and directed by China's Xu Jun, this semi-immersive production breaks traditional staging with a dynamic, two-sided set at 1862 Theater, placing audiences at the heart of the action.
Starring Maya Hakvoort (Germany's "Musical Queen"), Kerry Ellis (West End leading lady), and Chinese actresses Xu Lidong and Miao Mengchu as Lady Macbeth, alongside an international cast including Gian Marco Schiaretti (Notre-Dame de Paris) and Karl Queensborough (Hamilton) as Macbeth.
With striking mirrored staging reflecting Shakespeare's "fair is foul" duality, Lady M becomes a psychological labyrinth—where ambition, madness, and fleeting humanity collide.

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.

Enowate @ Shanghai International Dance Center
A dancer of extraordinary power and grace, Dickson Mbi summons multiple identities in this mesmerizing solo performance inspired by a life-changing journey to his ancestral home in Cameroon.
The symbolic presence of a two-headed snake, the tiger whose roar vibrated as part of a funeral ritual, the knowing touch of a blind elder… it was these unnerving encounters that profoundly affected the London choreographer during a recent trip to his family's village.
They have all brought him closer to the animistic practices of his African heritage and to the mystical place where they meet with his modern East London upbringing.
Enowate, meaning 'truth stands,' draws on sinuous elements of hip-hop and contemporary dance in combination with original music and otherworldly animated projections.
In asking the relatable question 'Who am I?' he connects with enigmatic forces to reveal himself and emerge from the shadows.

tick, tick…BOOM! @ Shangyin Opera House
tick, tick…BOOM! is the semi-autobiographical masterpiece by musical theatre legend Jonathan Larson, best known for his iconic work Rent. Larson poured all his anxieties, passion, and creative struggles leading up to age 30 into this one piece.
It tells a story that resonates with every dreamer. Jon, a young composer of musical theater, is about to turn 30 but finds himself stuck between dream and reality. Living in a cramped New York apartment, he waits tables by day and works tirelessly on his musical by night.
Meanwhile, those around him choose more conventional paths—his girlfriend longs for a stable life, and his best friend has left the performing art industry for a corporate career. With time running out, Jon faces the ultimate question—should he give in to reality or risk everything for his dream?
Featuring explosive rock music and emotionally resonant lyrics, the show paints an honest portrait of a young artist fighting to stay true to his vision.
More than just Larson's artistic confession, the work has inspired generations of creators—including Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda.
In 2021, the story reached global audiences once again through the acclaimed Netflix adaptation starring Andrew Garfield, which won a Golden Globe and reignited interest in this timeless gem.
Making its China debut in Shanghai, a top-tier creative team from London West End has come together to deliver a brand-new production, complete with stunning stage design and a powerful live band.
With an electrifying score and a deeply moving story, the show will strike a chord with every soul that refuses to settle for the ordinary.

Sebastião Salgado @ Fotografiska Shanghai
The first major posthumous retrospective of the recently departed Sebastião Salgado (1944–2025).
As one of the most influential documentary photographers of the contemporary era, Salgado's photographs operate not only as historical documents but as interventions within cultural and political discourse.
From the famines and wars of 1970s Africa to laborers in the tide of global industrialization, from rural Latin American cultures to the untouched wonders of Genesis, his work documents the human condition, global inequalities, and the fragile relationship between humanity and the natural world through incisive insight and a distinctive aesthetic.
Widely recognized for the aesthetic rigor and ethical urgency of his work, Salgado's images transcend conventional documentary photography, offering a visual language that merges journalistic inquiry with a profound humanist perspective, creating timeless works of both social significance and artistic mastery.
His lens gave visibility to the invisible, the marginalized, and the endangered—all are rendered visible with clarity and monumental beauty, challenging audiences to confront the social, environmental, and ethical urgencies of our time.
