🎭 Lights, camera, action! At its international debut in Singapore, the Chinese musical 'Nan Kong' took center stage and won a thunderous standing ovation 👏 from the audience.
'Nan Kong' brings to life the true story of Kong Zhu, the 53rd-generation descendant of Confucius, who chose to give up his noble title in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province in the Chinese mainland, to live among residents and spread Confucian culture as an ordinary citizen.
Mixing timeless Confucian ideals with cutting-edge stagecraft, the show combines elegant costumes, modern lighting, and a powerful score to connect past and present. To date, it has been performed more than 140 times across over 40 cities in the Chinese mainland.
This performance in Singapore marks a milestone for cultural exchange, showing how ancient wisdom can resonate with a new generation. Whether you're a history geek, theater lover, or curious traveler, 'Nan Kong' proves that classic stories can still spark fresh excitement around the world ✨.
