Among the performers is Italian dancer Camilla Curiel, who got to visit China for the first time because of the project.

"Personally, I was just very happy to explore a new country," she says.

"What I've witnessed so far is incredible, beautiful scenery. In general, the evenings feel like an Italian summer all the time, so it makes me feel a bit at home, which is amazing. People are really lovely, and the city is buzzing, full of life, full of events."

This production also represents her first involvement in immersive theater.

"Every show feels different compared to a show where the audience is just sitting there and we do our part," she reflects.
