Bringing international flair to the city
Interactive outdoor performances can be found in the public space located next to six landmark malls on the bustling Nanjing West Road too. Here, visitors can choose from three walking tours. The first tour starts from the Jiuguang Department Store and takes audiences close to Jing'an Park and onto the northern square of the Kerry Center. The second takes audiences to CITIC Plaza, the east square of Plaza 66 before culminating at the Majestic Theatre. The third tour starts from the north square of HKRi Taikoo Hui and ends at Weihai Road. All the tours cover the core shopping area of Jing'an district.
Among the most anticipated plays this year is Requiem by the Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv, Israel. Based on three short stories by Russian author Anton Chekhov, the play was written and directed by Hanoch Levin, and had four full-house performances at the Majestic Theatre from May 3 to 5.
"It is a play that makes people want to cry, think and struggle and effect change," Beijing Daily wrote about the play's third tour of the Chinese capital.
