Future theater finds a stage


One of the invited guests and the artistic adviser for Idea, curator Li Zhenhua, explains why this year's workshop theme was set as "A Day of XXX". "A day can be long or short, physical or psychological. It gives our guests complete creative free choices," he says.
The workshops covered a wide spectrum: from electronic pets to how physicists see the world, and even the preservation of historic buildings.
"It feels like we're living in an era of technological pressure," Li observes. "So how do we find something truly personal? I think what the Showcase offers is precisely a space for that exploration.
"Many discussions revealed the potential of future theater," he adds. "It can become a fusion of cutting-edge technology or a vessel for meaningful legacy. I look forward to seeing these ideas brought to life on stage."
