The “Performance to Celebrate the 73rd Anniversary of the National Day of the People’s Republic of China” – Contemporary Acrobatic Show “The Butterfly Lovers”, jointly organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government and the Department of Publicity and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR, produced by the Publicity Department of Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, supported by The Venetian Macao, and performed by the Guangzhou Acrobatic Arts Theater Co., Ltd., will be held on 30 September and 1 October, at 8pm, at Venetian Theatre, allowing the public to enjoy an exquisite acrobatic show while celebrating the National Day.
The Contemporary Acrobatic Show “The Butterfly Lovers” uses the poignant and romantic classic love story between Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai as the base of the plot and the image of the butterfly Liang Zhu as the symbol of love, combined with the philosophy of Zhuang Zhou Huadie. The performance perfectly combines the imagery of the “butterfly” and the natural process of a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly with Liang Zhu’s life, death and love story, portraying the cycle of life from gestation, incubation, resistance, to emerging from a cocoon and flying freely. The story is depicted at multiple levels, from different angles, and in various art forms such as acrobatics, dance and drama, showing the meaning of life with various scenes and images. In particular, ballet on shoulders is used to interpret the love story. The whole play demonstrates the aesthetics of traditional Chinese culture and the innovation of contemporary stage performances.
The maximum indoor capacity for the performance is limited to 75%.
