Shakespeare's Multimedia Drama

A view of "Shakespeare in the Park," a multimedia play that combines light shows, classical catwalks, ballet concerts and other art forms, in Shanghai, China, May 5, 2023. The performances include a light show (a dynamic light show composed of historical architectural projections and music), a creative modeling show (models walk in costumes featuring Shakespeare's classic characters, giving them a modern aesthetic expression), and a candlelight ballet concert (live instrumental music, dance performances, etc., highlighting the meaningful meaning of classic works through time and space). It is a mashup of various cultural and artistic forms combining high-tech multimedia. It takes the theatrical stage away from the indoor theatre and merges it with the natural environment, showing the dramatic scenes in Shakespeare's works.
