The theater drama combines music, dance and songs with other performing arts, such as acrobatics, shadow plays and stunts to provide a multi-faceted view of the Guizhou Plateau native people.

In addition to performing arts, it also employs modern technology to improve state artistic design and highlight Miao culture, Xing added.

Since its premiere performance at the end of April, the show has been staged more than 50 times so far and on average, attracts an audience of more than 500, including tourists from the United States, Australia and France.

"It will start a nationwide tour in August. In November, we will perform at the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing," said an organizer of the show. "We are also planning a world tour series for next year."

The show's management team considers the show to be a cultural brand and plans to develop a related product series in a bid to boost the creative industry and tourism of Qiandongnan, he added.

Another musical, "Colorful Guizhou", is also based on Miao culture.

Since its debut in 2006, it has been performed more than 500 times for theater audiences surpassing 500,000 around the globe, helping Guizhou's local cultures gain broad acceptance worldwide.

" 'Colorful Guizhou' has set an example for us," said Luo Yongquan, a manager of the "Silver Show" operational team.

"Our show will develop its own style and character on the path toward international stages and brand-building."
