Inspired by the "Three Phenological Signs of Qingming", an ancient Chinese observation of seasonal transitions, the program weaves these natural changes into its narrative. Through a blend of modern and traditional performances, the festival's cultural depth is reimagined in a cinematic and philosophical light.
The dance performance A Dream of the Enchanted Melody unfolds in three chapters—Emergence, Rhythm, and Eternity—symbolizing the rebirth of spring and the journey of life. At its heart is a mythical, melodious bird, long dormant in Dunhuang murals, awakening to spring's arrival. Dressed in flowing green, the dancers bridge ancient Buddhist wisdom with earthly renewal, embodying the revival of all living things.
