In recent World Expos, thematic shows became the highlights of Expo cultural activities. During Expo Hanover 2000 in Germany, a multimedia theme show with floating water was held every night beside the lake in its Expo site. It attracted over 4.5 million people in 158 days during the Expo. With the theme of nature wisdom, Expo Aichi released an evening party at koi pond which played 167 times in Japan in 2005. The thematic performance "Iceberg" became the most successful show during the 93 days of Expo 2008 Zaragoza Spain.
The thematic show "Windows of City" in Expo Shanghai will be closely linked to the theme of "City," representing the city's facets, showing colorful urban life and stimulating audience's endless imagination. "Windows of City" tells a story of love and harmony with music and dance. People will feel urbanites' warm hearts and care concealed under the indifferent urban appearance in 30 minutes.
The thematic show "Windows of City" of Expo Shanghai is at Zone C02 of the Houtan Square within the Pudong section of the Expo site.
The pavilion of this show is about 105 meters long, 20 meters high and 72 meters wide. It can accommodate more than 2,000 spectators. It will be the biggest temporary indoor theatre in the Expo site. Its components can also be easily dissembled and rebuilt at another location.
This show is a brainchild of arts and media groups in Shanghai and Taipei, in collaboration with international talents. Using the most advanced large-scale stage design, "Windows of City" will bring you a spectacular show with multimedia technology. Artists of this show are from different nations, and together with different forms of dance style, it will reflect rich implications.
"Windows of City" is a joint production of Shanghai Media & Entertainment Group and Taipei Arts International Association.
