Every Friday and Saturday, regular performances will be held, and the largest outdoor water feature performance in Shanghai will make its debut in the natural scenery | Yuanxiang Lake | Shanghai
On the evening of June 2nd, the night curtain seemed like a curtain in a theater, slowly falling on the 60 hectare surface of Yuanxiang Lake, ending the summer heat of the day and also opening up the colorful night light of Yuanxiang Lake. The first performance of the Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre Water Feature Light and Shadow Show "Elegant City, My Heart Longs for" has been successfully completed after the official announcement of ticket sales, announcing the official opening of the largest outdoor water feature performance in Shanghai.
The whole performance was divided into four acts: "One City Elegant, My Heart Yearning", Chinese ancient poetry animation "Acacia", "Light and shadow lingering, gluttonous" and "China-Chic New Fashion, Dynamic Audio". Nearly 60 minutes of multimedia light, shadow, and real-life performances, with the scenery of Yuanxiang Lake and the sky as the backdrop, the actors perform on the water stage of the water feature theater. Coupled with modern high-tech large-scale fountain arrays, aerial beam arrays, laser special effects, and variable water curtain systems, they showcase moving Eastern aesthetic paintings. Nearly 600 spectators watched the water show performance, expressing their admiration and applause over and over again.
The Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre Outdoor Water Feature Theater is one of the first batch of outdoor performance spaces awarded by the Shanghai Performance Industry Association. In recent years, the birth and development of new spaces for performing arts have provided more possibilities for audiences to choose where to go to watch performances, as well as for them to have an immersive experience while watching performances. It has also opened up more creative space for performance industry workers to tap into the cultural and entertainment consumption potential of residents.
The outdoor water reality light and shadow show, which Shanghai Poly Grand Theatre focuses on building, breaks through the traditional exterior walls of the theater, utilizes existing natural scenery, and combines local culture to tell a unique Eastern audio-visual aesthetic story in such a new space for performing arts.
The water scenery light and shadow show injects a unique poetic and romantic atmosphere into Jiading's creation of a "distant fragrance cultural source", adding a stunning touch of brightness to enhance the city's soft power. After the official premiere of the water feature light and shadow show, regular performances will be held every Friday and Saturday. In the future, "Yuanxiang Cultural Source" will become the most beautiful scenic area, high-end cultural exchange area, and citizen leisure and life experience area in Jiading New City. The "One City Elegance, My Heart Longs for" water feature light and shadow show will also become a new cultural landmark element.
