Chinanews, Shanghai, October 18 – The 9th Shanghai International Performance Trade Fair was kicked off in Shanghai Exhibition Center on October 16, with original Chinese stage arts being among the hottest ones.

 

Performance organizers and producers from all over the world have come to the fair, forming several huge exhibiting zones.

 

Only a few years ago, Chinese stage arts were considered as nothing but box office poison by performance organizers worldwide, but now they have become the favorite of audiences both at home and abroad.

 

Take the traditional songs and morin khuur performance as an example, which is very rare in Western countries. A performance organizer produced a Mongolian traditional dance show in North European countries and it was a great hit.

 

“Chinese stage arts have become more and more exciting,” said a performance organizer from the US. Since 1 or 2 years ago, artists from China have successfully won the heart of American audiences and critics.

 

“I hope I can discover more performances saturated with both traditional Chinese flavor and modern tang this time,” said the organizer.
