Urban Dream Capsule’s 24-hr Interactive Show at Xintiandi

A well-known performance art troupe, Urban Dream Capsule (UDC), will stage a reality show and interact silently with the audience in a glass capsule 24 hours a day for two weeks at Shanghai Xintiandi in June.

A model of the glass capsule was unveiled on May 10 at Xintiandi. The capsule will be decorated in a Shanghainese style, with the Chinese décor as seen in Wong Kar Wai’s movies “In The Mood For Love” and “2046”. The performers would neither leave the capsule during the show time nor pull down the curtains. They call themselves “cultural archaeologists” and consider the forthcoming show a chance to learn about the city and its people. Everyday life will be become a hilarious show.

Over 10 years, UDC has performed in many international cities. It will be the first time the performing group has brought the attraction to the Chinese Mainland.
