Beijing immersive mystery plays, where you are both an audience member and an actor
🎈 Recently, immersive small theaters have become very popular. They are small but exquisite, different from traditional theatrical forms, with more flexible stages and stronger interaction with the audience, creating a strong sense of immersion, which is favored by young people!
🎈 I watched 'Miss Julie' at the Starry Drama Village, adapted from a classic IP over 130 years old, full of suspense and thrills, yet full of surprises.
👉 Highlights:
✔️ Adapted from a classic play, it also fits the current trend of romance plots, and the language is very modern.
✔️ The theater setup makes it easy for people to get into character, with lighting, swivel chairs, sinks, cutting boards, cabinets... Some seats even allow the audience to taste eggs fried by the actors, and they might need to help by passing tissues or pulling cabinet doors... The audience is also part of the cast.
✔️ Miss Julie's special drink is very tasty and colorful.
✔️ There are many activities around, and the intangible cultural heritage lacquer fan making is quite fun.

🎈 Occasionally, put aside the trivial matters of life, follow the trend, watch a play you like, and be the protagonist on your own stage, great!

Beijing's small theater plays are humorous and witty, yet they brought me to tears
During the play, I cried.
I just watched a classic play 'Reckless Love' at the Starry Drama Village.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a splendid performance. Due to an accident, the story travels back 70 years, unfolding a heavy love story that transcends time.
Four actors on a small stage, with profound dialogue and a foundation in song and dance, held up this grand play.
For a full two hours, I was completely captivated by the plot, spending most of the time laughing heartily at the actors' humorous lines and exaggerated acting. But when the play reached its climax, I found myself crying.
Wang Wenxue said, 'The biggest secret in my heart is that I like you, but I won't tell you.' When this line was delivered, everyone laughed.
When Wang Wenxue recklessly sacrificed himself for love, in that moment, the whole audience fell silent. After a short while, the theater was filled with the sound of sobbing.
After laughing and crying, looking back at the whole play, the theme was elevated, and I finally understood why the play was called 'Reckless Love.' This is also the charm of watching a play.
If I have time, I would watch it a few more times.

The couple's dating guide This play is just too, too, too pure in love
⭐️This play is just too, too, too pure in love. This is a compliment.
I watched this play 'Reckless Love' this week, which has already had 57 rounds, and it's so suitable for every couple in love to watch.
It's more interesting than watching movies and shopping.
⭐️Andy Andrews once said: 'Everyone should have two impulses in life: one is the journey you embark on without a second thought, and the other is reckless love.' This play tells the story of the impulse of love.
❤️In the Republic of China, nine out of ten loves are sad.
In the chaotic world, gunpowder is everywhere.
It tells the story of two couples whose love is difficult to settle, it's about love as well as national duty. Their love, with a common belief, the victory of the war, is precisely because of the dedication of countless young people with aspirations like them that success is achieved.
❤️The country has faith, the people have hope.
Some people laugh so hard they fall backwards, while others cry their eyes out.
The most touching part is when the heroine says that every generation and every person has their own mission, which actually applies to everyone.
⭐️Today may not be an era where love is paramount, and people are desperately searching for the ideal true love amidst doubts and entanglements. We may be looking forward to meeting our ideal other half, who meets all our expectations, but when we actually encounter them, we hesitate. Because most of the time, we are rational, weighing the pros and cons, letting one after another sincere feelings quietly pass by without knowing it.
⭐️May all reckless loves have a happy ending!
