Ancient Sound of Dunhuang @ Theatre YOUNG

Step through a living portal to the Silk Road's golden age.

Ancient Sound of Dunhuang awakens the Mogao Caves' legendary murals—flying apsaras glide across the stage, celestial musicians play pipa and over 50 reconstructed ancient instruments, and thousand-year-old scores (from the P.3808 scrolls) ring out once more.

This immersive production blends ethereal dance, global sounds (erhu to Persian percussion), and modern stagecraft.

More than a performance, it's a cultural odyssey where timeless art meets contemporary energy. Witness stern-faced vajras, graceful bodhisattvas, and bustling Tang-era marketplaces—all vividly reborn.

Presented by Gansu Performing Arts Group, Ancient Sound of Dunhuang transforms Theatre YOUNG into a crossroads of civilizations, proving music and dance are universal languages that transcend millennia.

Thu-Sun July 9–12, 2pm & 7.30pm
