Immersive theater to light up 'Shanghai Summer'

Actors perform in the central play.

A polished version of the immersive theater operated by Puy du Fou, a major theme park operator in France known for its historical presentations, has opened to the public in Xuhui District.

A brand new plot is presented after an update based on audience feedback after a trial operation, which will take people on a thrilling romance adventure mingling mystery and the unknown, with a culinary experience that features East-meets-West cuisine included.

The project comprises 50 large-scale film scenes with 26,000 vintage-style objects.

The audience become players in the immersive theater experience.

In the new version, the audience races against time to rescue the heroine.

The theater boasts a 88-meter-long ship cabin and train based on 1:1 ratio restoration, and the audiences are able to make close-up observations of the facial expressions and subtle motions of the performers and interact with them.

The project, with more than 650 million yuan (US$89 million) in investment, takes up 46,000 square meters in the west pavilion of the Shanghai Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center.

Its cafe features a vintage nostalgic Shanghai-style atmosphere and the interaction starts at the restaurant.
