Recently, the "2024 Shangsheng·Xinsuo New Studio 4th Coffee Theater Festival" hosted by the District Culture and Tourism Management Affairs Center and Shangsheng·Xinsuo New Studio kicked off. The first play "Memo" was performed in a mobile form on the first floor of Sunke Villa, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the charm of the drama and the old building.
The simple and heavy arched door, the mat floor inlaid with eucalyptus wood, the cast iron railings with carved patterns, the pointed arched windows in the stairwell, and the irregular multicolored glass refract the light to make it particularly colorful and moving... French coffee drama, The masterpiece "Memo" by Academy Award Lifetime Achievement Award winner Jean Carrière is staged in this old bungalow designed by Hudec. It tells a bizarre and romantic story that takes place in an apartment. The plot and scene architecture are inextricably linked. The blending makes people feel like they are in another world. "The layout of Sun Ke's villa itself is quite special. Watching a drama in such a scene makes you more immersed in the atmosphere of the plot, and there is a sense of historical sedimentation in it, which is wonderful." said Ms. Zhao, an audience member.
On the other side, the American Off-Broadway coffee drama "Billboard" is being staged in the bicycle shop "1940 1940" in the Shangsheng·Xinsuo Park, which also echoes the modern industrial style open scene of the store. The audience drank coffee in the store while enjoying the performance up close and immersed, which was quite novel and interesting. "The door handles here are made of car repair tools, there are bicycle racks hanging on the surrounding walls, and there are industrial-style cement pillars. The actors shuttled through these scenes and performed around us, which made me feel like I was more than just an audience. "It's very immersive and relaxing." After the performance, the audience Mr. Sun was still not satisfied, "It was much more interesting than expected. I plan to buy a ticket for "Memo" tomorrow night to immerse myself again."
