The actors and actresses from Ordos are connected to the changes of the grasslands, and helped deliver the emotions better, says the dance drama's director He Yanmin.

She says borrowing the name Kubuqi, which is spread over 18,600 square kilometers, was an attempt to remind the audience that the once-barren area got greener in recent years-more than 6,000 sq km are turning green.

Zeng Han, a senior local government official, says the sixth Kubuqi International Desert Forum, held in Ordos in July, praised the green drive of Kubuqi.

The Conference of the Parties, established by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, will hold its 13th session in Ordos over Sept 6-16, with about 5,000 Chinese and foreign delegates likely to attend.

The dance drama will be performed four times at the convention.
