The Hunan Acrobatic Art Theater recently gave its 800th global tour performance of the original acrobatic drama Dream Journey — Mysterious Xiangxi in Torrelavega, Spain, setting a new high for international tours of Chinese stage dramas with full intellectual property rights.

The show made the audience erupt in thunderous applause and cheers, paying their respects to this performance.

Set against the mystical backdrop of Xiangxi, this drama portrays a romantic tale of a young boy's dreamlike encounters and partings with a phoenix fairy. It weaves in Xiangxi's unique intangible cultural heritage elements like Miao drum dance, Nuo Opera, and Miao ancient song, and integrates high-difficulty acrobatics such as aerial silk.

Since its premiere in 2015, the show has been staged over 800 times with a cumulative performance duration exceeding 80,000 minutes, bringing its captivating performances to more than 200 international cities, covering the United States, Canada, Spain, and Finland.

It is reported that the tour in Spain will last until January 2026, covering over 50 cities and featuring more than 140 performances, further expanding the global influence of Xiangxi culture.
