Is there a limit to human imagination and creativity?
When the curtain of "Macau 2049" slowly opens, a man from northwest China stands on the stage, and the high-pitched northwest folk song strikes the heart. The drum sounds, and the "robot grandma" dances with humans. AI brings a new technological revolution. Can it coexist peacefully with humans or will it fight with them? Is AI an enhanced reality or an illusory future? The imaginative design and impactful images are shocking, and the audience is left with some thoughts about life and the world.
Throat singing is a unique and magical singing art, a way for the ancestors of the Mongolian Plateau to communicate with nature. They believe that everything has a spirit. When the low, deep, high-pitched, and long sound echoes throughout the theater, I seem to hear the response and confession of nature.
The wonderful performance is full of climaxes, making it hard to take your eyes off it. The ethereal Miao song conveys emotions and sings the legend and glory of the Miao family; the classic "Three Forks" martial arts drama interprets the essence of Peking Opera to the extreme; the robot twists the big Yangko dance without losing, only the joy of harvest is written on the face; the Yi men and women in traditional costumes sing love songs, which is the most romantic expression of love; the lion dance is not only a performance or celebration, but also a display of courage and wisdom.
The final climax is [Shaanbei storytelling], folk legends, historical smoke, and worldly customs... Three strings, one embroidered mouth, tell the story of the past. There is no tragedy in Shaanbei storytelling, which is the heroism and idealism created by the optimistic, heroic, and fearless spirit of Shaanbei farmers. This coincides with the spirit of Macau, and the thousand-year history and vicissitudes of life have not changed the blood and courage of Macau.
It has been 25 years since Macau's return. What will the next 25 years be like? What miracles will Macau, which leads the avant-garde culture, create? "Macau 2049," which is being performed at the MGM Theater in Macau, combines Chinese traditional culture and modern technology to create a magical future world and showcase a Macau with "Chinese culture as the mainstream and multicultural coexistence" to the world.
