Mobile phones have changed how we engage with art. Passive viewing no longer meets modern audiences’ need for interaction, especially among youth. To celebrate Jin Yong’s centennial and the enduring power of Xiqu, Zuni presented Xiqu Jin Yong Theatre: The Smiling, Proud Wanderer in 2024, bringing audiences immersive experiences via three arts tech elements: Z Dome Theatre, Zuni Xiqu App and an exhibition.
It is also a journey that transforms theatre into a space of connection, where tradition meets technology, fostering appreciation and innovation in intangible cultural heritage.
