Macau 2049

This year, "Macau 2049" is exploring new horizons this year, taking part in the Wuzhen Theater Festival. When creativity truly becomes part of an artwork's DNA, art will transcend geography and shine through on any stage.

Innovation at its purest

The Wuzhen Theater Festival stands alongside the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Avignon Festival as one of the world's most influential theater events. The highly competitive stage this year featured two acts of "Macau 2049" - Khoomei · Ethereal and Yangge · Robots - in more than 50 performances, captivating audiences with raw creativity and bold innovation.

On the vast water stage at Wuzhen, Khoomei · Ethereal presented the sound of the vast steppe, letting those primal overtones resonate through the watery landscape of a canal town. Yangge · Robots was performed in an intimate setting, allowing the audience to see and feel every fine detail of the performers' movements.

A showcase of success in action

"Macau 2049" in Wuzhen is a prized example of how creativity and innovation can drive culture forward. Starting from Macau, the performances adapted, transformed and reinvented themselves across different settings, yet never lost their profound impact. Striking as they were, however, the "Macau 2049" performances were only a “chapter”, whereas Macau remains the ultimate home of "Macau 2049".
