The Stargazers stage premiere at Harbin Grand Theatre celebrates the scientists and educators
A large-scale panoramic stage performance titled The Stargazers premiered on Tuesday at the Harbin Grand Theatre in Harbin, Heilongjiang province.
The 120-minute show took three years to refine, focusing on the stories of the "800 Faculty Pillars" of the Harbin Institute of Technology, their efforts to establish a strong foundation in Northeast China, and their contributions to developing national heavy equipment and cultivating outstanding talent. It was directed by theater educator Huang Dingshan and features a mix of actors and participation from HIT's faculty and students. It has been selected for the 2026 Scientists' Stories Stage Play Promotion Campaign.
The Stargazers was performed three times from Sunday to Tuesday, attracting over 3,400 audience members, including former and current HIT leaders, faculty representatives, students, relatives of the characters portrayed, and experts from the cultural and artistic fields. Representatives from HIT's Weihai and Shenzhen campuses joined 500,000 viewers who watched the broadcast live on online platforms.
