3. Cultivate public aesthetics.

In the history of Wuzhen, many literati once went to the sea to do business and were called squires. They love their hometown deeply and take it as their duty to promote the construction of local culture and art, which is also the important original intention of establishing Wuzhen Drama Festival.

The edification of popular aesthetics needs soil, environment and time. Wuzhen Drama Festival is an opportunity. There is not only the famous Chinese and foreign drama "Chun Xue", but also the street ancient town carnival of Lower Liba people. 1 1 Day and night, you can't get into the theater, and the play is around, taking turns to perform between the small bridges and flowing water. When one day, art is integrated into the life of the town, into the blood of the town people, and the spirit becomes a higher pursuit than material, then the dream will come true. Wuzhen Dream is also a part of the Chinese dream.

4. Create a cultural Wuzhen

If the wooden house with flowing water on the stone bridge is the face of Wuzhen, then the cultural origin of the blending of tradition and modernity is the connotation of Wuzhen. Wuzhen Drama Festival is not "born of Wuzhen tourism", but "born of Wuzhen", and the vision of cultural Wuzhen does not stop there. She is a window to see the profound cultural heritage of Wuzhen. She is a door to a more splendid Wuzhen culture tomorrow.

Wuzhen seems to be a giant stage, and everyone in it is an indulgent actor on the stage. Outside the play, it's like a dream. Eugenio Barba
