In June, the Suzhou Kunqu Theater will host a variety of performances.
The garden version of the Kunqu Opera Peony Pavilion made a stunning appearance in the Kunqu Training Institute on April 25. Now they are already back on stage every Saturday, allowing more people to appreciate the exquisite Suzhou style of life and the opera's aesthetics, meanwhile the theater will launch its weekly performances in June, including the classic Kunqu Opera Fifteen Strings every Saturday.
To make it easier for the general public to understand these traditional dramas, Fifteen Strings is condensed from the original three hours into one.
In addition to the usual performances, the Suzhou Kunqu Theater will launch Kunqu lectures in their hall every Friday. At 7:30 pm on June 12, at the hall, renowned actorLyu Jia will give a lecture on female leads in Kunqu Opera.
Another show is also worthy of attention. Recently on Suzhou's Pingjiang Road, passersby could bump into a particular group of less than 30 people, all wearing headphones, performing street dance or just standing stiff with a fixated smile on their faces. They would tell you they are participating in Tune in the Sound of Pingjiang, Suzhou, an immersive situational play that takes the audience on a walk of about 6,000 steps in 100 minutes across 860 households, 10 ancient lanes and four gardens and museums.
Produced by the New Era group and Suzhou Culture and Art Center, the show invited writer and screenwriter Yu Rongjun to create this unique experimental exploration of art that guides the audience to start an adventure and explore the city in a new way with immersive sound effects and music that melt in the backdrop of Suzhou's historic and yet familiar neighborhood.
The show now runs regularly at 7:15 pm on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
