A total of 75 plays and dances by teams of directors and stage artists from home and abroad will light up the calendar of this year's Aranya Theater Festival. The festival will make a comeback from June 16 to 26 in Aranya, a sea resort and cultural compound facing the Bohai Sea in North China's Hebei province.
Themed "A Moment & Forever", the festival aims to bring the audience an immersive experience of dreams, adventures, passion and eternity. Renowned figures in theatrical art, including directors Meng Jinghui and Chen Minghao, as well as actress Zhang Ziyi, are artistic directors this year.
