The Culmination of Contemporary TheatreThe Expo thematic show “Window of the City” reaches new heights
Breaking away from previous Expo thematic shows, which centered on large outdoor installations and special effects, the Expo 2010 Shanghai China thematic show “Window of the City” pioneers a large-scale indoor spectacle: a multimedia story theatre with aerial performance. Interpreting the Expo theme “Better City, Better Life” in depth, it brings the element of “people” into the thematic show, telling an original story of love and care that highlights what lies at the heart of city life.
Created with care for the 70 million visitors to the Expo, “Window of the City” is positioned as the Expo’s number-one show and is performed every day throughout the 184-day Expo, making it a highlight no visitor to Expo 2010 Shanghai should miss. With an innovative and original theatrical concept, a creative team drawn from around the globe, a cast chosen from among thousands, and a professional and perceptive production team, it brings together the very best of contemporary theatre. “Window of the City” is an extraordinary performance full of spectacle, emotion and the vitality of the city, set to rewrite the history of the World Expo and bring a new visual impact and theatrical aesthetic to the world stage.
