"The fusion of Guilin's landscapes, cultural heritage, and artistic diversity forms an ideal stage that captivates global audiences," shared renowned theater producer and Guilin Festival Committee member Li Dong. He believes this unique blend is what makes the festival's so appealing.
Since 2022, the festival has evolved each year, enhancing production quality, audience engagement, and program variety. A personal highlight for Li was hosting an art lecture under Duxiu Peak, a long-held wish of his.
With the festival marking the 80th anniversary of the Southwest Drama Exhibition, Li hopes it will breathe new life into theater, inspiring wider public appreciation. He envisions Guilin as a beacon where natural beauty and theater thrive together, offering young artists a platform to achieve their dreams.
