The spectacular large-scale musical drama ‘A Thousand Hands, A Thousand Eyes’ recently set Guangzhou ablaze, dazzling audiences with its artistic mastery and igniting fresh passion for Dunhuang’s timeless culture.  

Drawing inspiration from the legendary Dunhuang murals, the production breathes new life into the ancient tale of Miaoshan’s journey to save her father—standing as a radiant successor to the iconic ‘Thousand-Hand Guanyin’. Performed by the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe, the show’s mesmerizing synchronization and rhythmic perfection left crowds spellbound—many stunned to learn the dancers were hearing-impaired and the musicians visually impaired. Over 50 extraordinary artists transformed Dunhuang’s beauty into a symphony of movement and sound, crafting a profound ode to compassion and resilience.  

With cutting-edge 3D projections and immersive staging, the audience was swept into the sacred caves of Dunhuang, where centuries-old murals seemed to dance before their eyes. Viewers raved about the cultural treasure on display, calling for stronger artistic bridges between Gansu and the Greater Bay Area—and eagerly awaiting the next masterpiece to take the stage.
