The immersive Chinese theatre piece, “Encore Dunhuang,” debuted at the first Silk Road Dunhuang International Cultural Expo. The long-awaited show was directed by one of China’s most famous directors, Wang Chaoge, who was the co-director of the opening ceremony at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The 90-minute performance gives audience members a chance to travel through time, as they walk through four zones and experience key moments and characters in the 2,000-year history of the city, once an important stop on the Silk Road. It is staged in The Aqua Blue Theatre, a large glass structure that looks like a water droplet poised in the vast Gobi Desert, where the disguise media server assisted with show previsualization to display stunning video projections.
