CHINA FOCUS Returns to Edinburgh Festivals, Showcasing Premier Chinese Theatre Productions

Launched in 2017, CHINA FOCUS aims to promote Chinese heritage and cultural products in international markets. This celebration of excellence in Chinese theatre showcases high-quality performances in Edinburgh, each reflecting a contemporary interpretation that melds traditional elements with modern creativity.

The official reception for CHINA FOCUS on 16 August welcomed distinguished guests, including representatives from UK Department for Business and Trade, British Council, Scottish Government, Scottish Development International, Festivals Edinburgh, as well as Chinese Consulate General in Edinburgh, The Center for China Shanghai International Arts Festival and Shanghai Huangpu District Government. Guests also watched the show of Ancient Ship by CSIAF Youth Art Troupe following the reception.

CHINA FOCUS serves as a strategic and dynamic platform for fostering innovation in the Sino-UK creative industries. By presenting an exquisite selection of theatrical productions, this annual programme is poised to become a cornerstone of the Edinburgh Festivals' celebration of Chinese culture, strengthening existing relationships and forging new connections between individuals and organisations within the creative sectors.

Founded in Shanghai, China Shanghai International Arts Festival is a premier national arts festival that serves as a gateway for international cultural exchange. It focuses on showcasing and promoting outstanding Chinese works on the global art stage, collaborating with festivals and art organisations worldwide. Through its efforts, the festival tells the story of China while interpreting the vibrant culture of Shanghai.
