Design Challenge

After investigation, we found that the most impressive of the brand was a square stage hidden in the waters of the West Lake. When the lights were secret, the actors jumped with the music on the mirror -like lake and jumped with the music of "Liang Zhu" and the "Swan Lake" performed by the Ballet's performance. A total of ten actors of the performance were completed on the water, which was significantly different from the real product.

Project Duration

The project starts in Hangzhou in August 2020, in Hangzhou in February 2021 and will be presented in Hangzhou in April 2022.

Operation Flow

Combining stage works with colourful sound and light, combining the stage with reflections in the water to produce a unique visual art effect, the weaving of the Chinese and Western stages.

Research

"Impression West Lake" is not only a performing arts company but also a real landscape performance created by the "Iron Triangle" team of directors Zhang Yimou, Wang Chaoge and Fan Yue. It has performed 3,000 performances in total and received 2.9 million audiences. In 2016, entrusted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, the original performance "Impression of the West Lake" was revised into "The Most Reminiscence of Hangzhou", and performed as a project of the G20 Hangzhou Summit. The first performance was highly praised by the heads of 20 countries. The performance was broadcast live on the Internet and on television and gained worldwide attention. From May to December 2017, nearly 400,000 visitors were received, with an average attendance rate of more than 80%, of which more than 20% were overseas visitors, and sales hit a record high. "Impression West Lake" has also started a new journey towards international development from the original local tourism.

Inspiration

The performance is a live performance with the West Lake as the background. The cultural and artistic performance blending the East and the West is held on a square stage about 10cm below the water surface of the West Lake. The square stage and the window for urban cultural promotion became the main concept of my design.
