In 2011, the NCPA held the first Beijing Stage Design Invitation Exhibition, building a platform where audiences can enjoy stage art from a unique perspective. The exhibition has received an enthusiastic response from society and is honoured as the "Beijing Quadrennial Exhibition" by the stage art insiders.
Themed "Boundless", this year's exhibition aims at revealing how the boundaries between the contemporary set design and other fields of art has been broken. Also, it showcases various stage designers' cross-cultural background and more new roles they play off the stage, as well as how they have gone global and participated in international stage creations.
We sincerely hope that the "Beijing Stage Design Invitation Exhibition" will serve as an important platform where we can communicate with artists from different fields about their disruptive ideas, connect the stage with audiences and link China to the world.
Finally, I wish the exhibition a great success!
