Dance drama "Five Stars Out of the East" will appear on the Greek stage

China News Service, Beijing, November 8 (Reporter Xu Jing) The 8K ultra-high definition premiere of the dance drama "Five Stars from the East" and the launch of the Greek tour were held in Beijing on the 8th. From November 13th to 15th local time, the play will be held at the Christmas Theater in Athens, Greece, under the name "Love on the Silk Road".

The dance drama "Five Stars Out of the East" is jointly produced and produced by Beijing and Xinjiang, and uses the "Five Stars Out of the East to Benefit China" brocade armband as its creative source. The play starts from the archaeological excavation site and reproduces the history of exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups along the Silk Road.

At the event site, 8K ultra-high-definition images transformed the stage scene of the dance drama "Five Stars from the East" into a tangible screen projection, allowing the audience to see more details and understand the narrative in the body. Stage art breaks through the time and space of theater and can be preserved and spread widely for a longer period of time.

Since its premiere in 2021, the dance drama "Five Stars from the East" has won many awards including the 17th Wenhua Award. In 2025, the play went to Canada for 7 performances and received high praise from the audience. From November 13th to 15th local time, the play will be performed at the Christmas Theater in Athens, Greece, for 4 consecutive performances. In the name of "Love on the Silk Road", the Eastern concept of "harmony and symbiosis" will usher in an echo along the Aegean Sea through the expression of "love".

It is reported that the domestic tour of the show in 2026 is underway. Dong Ning, chairman of the Beijing Performing Arts Group and producer of the dance drama Five Stars from the East, said he hopes to use emotions as a bridge to allow overseas audiences to understand the tolerance and goodwill of Chinese civilization through light, shadow and dance. The IP brand of the dance drama "Five Stars Out of the East" is expanding its development in multiple forms and channels to promote China's excellent traditional culture to the world.
