From June 19 to 29, the Aranya Theater Festival transforms a seaside resort on the northern Chinese mainland into a global performance hub. Over 10 days, 29 invited productions from domestic and international companies offer everything from daytime theater readings to bold, experimental showcases.
Visitors can explore immersive installations that fuse video art, dance and more. Each evening, a grand parade winds along the shore, lighting up the night with colorful floats, live music and spontaneous performances.
A standout piece, "Migrant Bird 300," showcases its growth through installations, video art, dance and more, inviting attendees to witness its evolution. This immersive project speaks to themes of migration, rebirth and the universal search for belonging.
When theater meets the crashing waves, performances take on poetic resonance, showing how art can breathe new life into familiar landscapes. In just a few years, this coastal haven has emerged as a vibrant hub for youth culture and creative energy, drawing theater lovers and curious explorers from around the world.
