Hangzhou Suntiandy Theatre

The theatre is located in a renovated factory on the outskirts of the city and was built by the Hangzhou Xintiandi Group, a private developer of tourism and cultural projects throughout China.

Cirque du Soleil's first show in China in collaboration with the Hangzhou Xintiandi Group is called X: 绮幻之境 (The Land of Fantasy).

The show theater was built for almost 1,500 spectators. They are seated on two stage wagons with an integrated revolving stage, which places the audience at the center of the story and constantly offers the audience new perspectives. This unique 360-degree perspective opens up a new world of creative ways to tell the story and provides a truly immersive experience for the audience watching the action from their seats.

Waagner-Biro Stage Systems supplied and installed 2 identical carriages that can move independently of each other on a linear rail system. The two stage wagons each run on 20 separately driven bogies. There is a turntable with a seating grandstand on the wagons, which offers space for approx. 721 spectators (23 rows). The area of a seating carriage is 814 m² and has a maximum speed of 0.61 m/s.

The grand opening took place on August 10th , 2019.
