When Shadows Come Alive and MGM Theatre Become Ocean: Inside "Macau 2049"

Hungarian troupe ATTRACTION PERFORMANCES, renowned worldwide for shadow play, breaks boundaries in Macao 2049. The show begins with the stage plunging into darkness, where light stretches the dancers' silhouettes. Shadows cease to be mere backdrops, transforming into characters with souls. They converse with the dancers, entwine, and separate - like another self, reflecting humanity's solitude and tenderness in the technological age.

The song draws inspiration from an ancient Mongolian vocal tradition. British group Universal Everything transforms this ancient dialogue between nature and the human voice into a mystical journey through digital art. On stage, hundreds of unique digital creatures migrate in sync with music and rhythm - breathing, vibrating, and moving like living beings. Amid the changing seasonal light and shadows, audiences experience a great animal migration that embodies the synergy of technology and nature.

The German group produces their signature light and mirror-based spatial installation. In the scene, kinetic mirror installation refracts the mountainous imagery of Guizhou's Miao people into terraced layers of light and shadows. Each beam radiates poetic beauty, transporting viewers into Guizhou's breathtaking natural scenery.

The German group transforms the stage into a breathing ocean. Airstage's biomimetic technology brings flying marine creatures to life, allowing them to weave between the stage and the audience freely. Each ascent infuses the performance with vitality, creating layers of oceanic imagery alongside the song of the Yi people.
