Youth come together for theater festival
Print Edition
The Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan Youth Drama Exhibition Season and the third Youth Theatre Festival of Hongqiao Town concluded in late August, bringing together youth who share an interest in performance art.
Minhang is devoted to developing a youth-friendly urban environment and ecosystem. The district improves young people’s sense of belonging and creativity through a variety of activities, including cultural empowerment, employment help, and business incubation.
The Youth Drama Season was co-founded by the Youth League’s Minhang District Committee and Hongqiao to create a platform that empowers youth development via culture while also providing a forum for young people to showcase themselves and discuss ideas.
The Youth League mobilized involvement at all levels, and young people were actively involved throughout the event, from initial play submissions and script polishing to seamless coordination during performances, stage execution and on-site promotion.
Young people have taken a proactive role as important contributors, collectively planning and participating in every area of the event to provide liveliness to these cross-border grand events.
“Theater transcends language barriers: a single glance or line of dialogue can strike a chord among young people,” director Yi Fei said.
At this year’s festival, teenagers were brought together to participate in a thorough co-creation process after seeing positive outcomes from the preliminary gatherings in its initial year.
The closing ceremony’s subject was “Origin,” and five plays were performed to highlight the origins of Chinese culture, as well as the youth’s contemporary living situation and expectations.
It also exemplifies the essence of theatrical art, the origins of Chinese culture and the dynamism of teenage innovation.
The “Pearl Project,” launched jointly by local university students, combines three core concepts: “Seeking Pearls, Cultivating Shells, Refining Brilliance,” which refers to the discovery of young theatrical talent, the incubation of original productions, and the introduction and integration of outstanding works into communities and the city.
The new initiative invites young people to participate in playwriting and touring productions. It helps young theater artists by giving talent support, play development aid and touring subsidies for excellent productions.
