On the evening of May 9, the immersive theater production "Encountering Dongpo Again" premiered at the Zhongshan Memorial Hall small theater in Huizhou City.
Set against the backdrop of the life of Su Shi (Dongpo), the renowned Northern Song Dynasty literary figure, during his time in Huizhou, the drama intertwines the perspective of Qianqian, a staff member of the Huicheng District Cultural Center. Through classic poems, the play creates an audiovisual feast that blends ancient and modern artistry.
In the story, Qianqian plans to illustrate all the poetry Dongpo composed during his stay in Huizhou. During her creative process, she miraculously "time-travels" and encounters historical figures like Dongpo himself, sparking a series of culturally rich and whimsical interactions.
