The immersive romantic suspense drama “Sakura” opens in Wuhan
China Engineering Network News Recently, the immersive suspense drama “Cherry Edge” was launched at the Moshan Cherry Garden in East Lake, Wuhan. While enjoying the light pink and crimson cherry blossoms, the graceful appearance of the dancing snow and flying clouds, tourists can also travel through the Republic of China and experience the fashionable immersive drama. The charm also adds romance to Wuhan’s “top spring” cherry blossoms.
The story of “Sakura” is full of suspense and romance. Behind the bizarre cases, it reflects the touching story of a group of young people who relentlessly pursue love and stick to their faith despite being in a war-torn world.
The play makes extensive use of interactive performances. The audience is both a theatergoer and a plot promoter. Under the guidance of the actors, they jointly solve the mystery of the protagonist’s mysterious death. The combination of sitting, standing, and walking viewing methods greatly enhances the audience’s viewing experience. “I didn’t expect that the performance started while waiting outside the theater. When the actors came to me and talked to me, I felt very strange. Later, the actors took me to the stage to find clues to solve the case. It was so interesting!” Tourist Ms. Zhao explain.
According to the main creative staff, the most important feature of immersive performing arts is the interactive viewing relationship, which breaks the limitations of traditional performances. Actors and audiences establish spatial, plot and even emotional connections. At the same time, the audience connects the plot with the help of wandering performances, forming a varied and immersive experience. In terms of stage design, the creators combined the characteristics of three large trees in the building to build a three-dimensional three-story stage, making the entire performance and theater viewing space more three-dimensional and rich.
It is reported that Wuhan East Lake Moshan Cherry Garden covers an area of more than 300 acres. It is one of the largest cherry gardens in China and is as famous as the Wuhan University campus for cherry blossom viewing.
