Ancient art form captivates the world

Its performers are using modern technology to make the ancient art accessible to young and international audiences. In a classic scene, the troupe uses a drone to represent a bee, creating a dynamic effect that traditional stagecraft couldn't achieve.

Besides drones, the troupe's technical upgrades include using naked-eye 3D projections to recreate mythical landscapes, and livestreaming performances to attract global viewers online. Musically, composers have integrated Western orchestral instruments with traditional Chinese ones. They also leverage livestreaming, pulling back the curtain for a global audience and making the ancient art instantly accessible.
