Lady M @ 1862 Theater

图片


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.

Welcome to the World of Mafalda: 60th Anniversary @ Instituto Cervantes

图片


Mafalda was born in Argentina in 1964 at the hands of her creator, Quino, but soon became an icon throughout the Spanish-speaking world—and eventually a global phenomenon.


Today, she appears in statues, on t-shirts and in films, but the real magic happens when you open her comic strips.


Her humor, reflections, and wit remain as relevant as ever. An eternal child, irreverent and always concerned about the state of the world, a lover of peace and an enemy of soup, Mafalda has just turned 60.


To celebrate her anniversary, the Instituto Cervantes, together with NeoCogito—the publisher responsible for the Chinese re-edition of the comic strip—presents the exhibition Welcome to the World of Mafalda


Supported by the Consulate of Argentina in Shanghai, the exhibition offers a chance to enjoy her classic comic panels and includes life-size reproductions of the character, her dining room, and her bedroom.


Daily, 11am-6.30pm; Free

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 MolièreL'opéra Urbain, produced by Dove Attia, the man behind such popular hits as The Ten CommandmentsThe 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.
