Encore Dunhuang
又见敦煌
An immersive walking drama directed by Wang Chaoge, in which the audience moves through multiple spaces and 'meets' the people of Dunhuang from a thousand years ago.
Encore Dunhuang is an immersive stage production in the Encore series. The theater sits on the Gobi east of the city, on the way to the Mogao Caves, and its square building is made of sand-colored blocks. The show lasts about 90 minutes. In the first half, the audience walks through a series of rooms and corridors, interacting up close with historical figures such as Zhang Qian, Suo Jing and Wang Yuanlu. In the second half, the audience enters the main theater to watch the performance. Tickets start from several hundred yuan, depending on seat and time slot; check the official website for current prices. Tickets sell out quickly in peak season, so book early. The show can be scheduled on the same day as the Mogao Caves. Some performances offer English subtitles or guided explanations.
