He observes that in every culture, the younger generations are losing their connection with the past, partly due to the rise of modern technology such as smartphones. The stage artist from Las Vegas says he hopes the show will spark interest in younger audiences, and entertain them with stories about their culture and history.
This said, the work remains a blend of cutting-edge stage technology and tradition. With a modern theater featuring a revolving stage and a 360-degree LED screen surrounding the stage at a height of 9.5 meters, Splendor is expected to push the boundaries of performing arts and enhance the visual experience for audience members.
The 60-minute show will be staged in Wuxi's 2,000-seat Taihu Show Theater, which has been tailor-made for the permanent show that has taken six years to bring to fruition.
With a design concept inspired by a bamboo forest, the theater has been rated as one of the "top 10 buildings for 2019" by the British newspaper, The Times. It is a theater worthy of presenting a show that is ready to stun the audience.
