Russian dance ‘Show In The Rain’ dazzles Shanghai stage
Print Edition
RUSSIAN dance spectacle “Show In The Rain” is wowing Shanghai audience at MIFA 1862 in the Pudong New Area, with 20 performances scheduled between August 1 and 17.
The visually striking show – featuring male dancers performing under real rain – has drawn over 2 million spectators worldwide across more than 3,000 performances in 15 countries and 300 cities.
The engagement features the return of WetMen troupe – known for their physically demanding choreography blending street dance, ballet and acrobatics.
A real rain curtain is created with stroboscopic lights interweaving with water curtains to present a magical space.
This summer’s edition also promises new highlights, including a surprise appearance by a guest dancer from Russia’s Bolshoi Theater. The production follows a narrative centered on middle-aged men’s search for happiness, combining humor with abstract physical storytelling.
Praised by European media as “the pride of St Petersburg,” the production has won Russia’s National Performing Arts Award for Best Touring Project for three consecutive years. Its Shanghai debut earlier this year saw 16 sold-out shows with over 95 percent attendance and sparked viral attention on Chinese social media platforms.
