Wuxi Taihu Show Theater.
Guangzhou Yue Show Theater.
Puzzle Ball Theater.
Han Show 'Red Lantern' Theater




What makes Guangzhou Yue so interesting is that its form is not traditional, but its experience and the elements within in still harken to the past. When construction is completed, the theater will become a living piece of history that speaks to a new generation of Chinese people in Guangzhou– one with a hunger for expression and individuality in a country that has historically opposed it.
Guangzhou Yue Show Theater is the second of four theatres in China that we will be taking an in-depth look at with its designer, noted British architect Steven Chilton. I hope you enjoy the interview as much as I did.
At Han Show, that message is one of spectacle and wonder, and something you cannot help but feel a part of it in the moment as its bright red colours fill the night sky above.

When I saw Wuxi for the first time, with its sleek, white columns set in a gentle landscape of trees, fog and water, I felt for a minute that I was back there. Wuxi has a transcendental quality about it that works perfectly for a theater. When we go out for a meal, to socialize with friends, and to experience the best of what life has to offer, we bring our whole subconscious self with us – the good and the bad. Wuxi breaks that all down and sets the stage for the performances ahead by bringing us back to nature and giving us a sense of the wonder to come.

What’s most beautiful about the old world is the simplicity of it all; the beauty in its craftsmanship and to a singular way of living that is lost in the contemporary world. The puzzle ball, an ancient Chinese art form is just one example of a time and craft gone by as we seek more technological forms of pleasure in our lives. And yet, its this feeling of the past that gives wonder and beauty to the present.
