Dance festival swings into Xinjiang
Print Edition
THE Xinjiang Dance Destival opened on Monday in Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
The opening performance was a dance drama that replayed scenes along the Silk Road.
“The dance festival is part of the Chinese government’s endeavors to boost Xinjiang’s culture,” said Culture Minister Luo Shugang at the opening ceremony.
The 17-day festival will feature 78 performances by 25 troupes from China and abroad.
Performances will include the classic ballet “Giselle” and “Arabian Nights,” Mandarin dances featuring Confucius and Kwan-yin, as well as traditional Xinjiang dances.
Luo said he hopes the festival will encourage exchanges among different cultures along the Silk Road.
This year’s festival, the fourth since 2008, is a follow-up to China’s Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, said Ren Hua, a senior cultural official in Xinjiang.
