Chinese first Zen culture and sound painting ceremony
To reproduce the life of Master Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch who enlightened and propagated the Dharma, the WSCG’s team insisted on blending the concept of Zen into the show and making a realm of Zen based on water at the very beginning.
Zen is dedicated to meditation and concentration. The movement of water, whether dynamic or static, is thought to be connected with the change of mood.
The water shapes change from peaceful water curtains to rolling waves, the static and flowing beauty are then shown in the scene and bring out the best in each other. WSCG has put a lot of effort into this show, from each detail to the whole design, and especially into the Lotus Theater, the main show of the whole performance. The multi-dimensional performance space can drag the audience into a fantastic illusion where the clouds and water are running, and they cannot tell whether it is real or unreal.
From March, everything was starting from scratch. After years of coordination and cooperation among several parties and months of hard work of construction workers, this project has taken its shape.
“WSCG, starting from water”. This show will surely promote the formation of Zen culture industrial park and bring brilliance to the propagation of excellent Zen culture and the construction of “Guangdong Xinxing——China’s Zen city”.
