Stepping into the theater, each audience member is transported to the world of a high school senior on the cusp of graduation in the 1980s. As they move through different classrooms, they interact with actors playing teachers and classmates, immersing themselves in the storyline.

The theatrical piece, No 35 High School, is directed by the acclaimed Wang Chaoge, renowned for her impactful scenario performances and theatrical works that have significantly influenced tourism development in various locales. The play pays homage to Wang's alma mater, Beijing No 35 High School.

Nestled in the Unique Dream of Red Mansion theater complex in Langfang, Hebei province, this exceptional theater experience delves into the nostalgia and emotions of high school graduation season.

Recently, amid the graduation season, the director hosted a special "graduation ceremony" for the audience on the theater's "playground".

Wang explains her inspiration behind the creation of the theater, stating, "Youth revisits us in dreams and memories, never truly leaving us. I established this school as a sanctuary for everyone to rediscover their youth."

She continues, "As students step out of the classroom on graduation day, they may believe they are leaving it all behind. Yet, in time, the yearning to reconnect with their youth emerges. No matter how vast or enticing the world may seem, everything commences here, everything connects here."

This immersive theatrical experience offers a moving voyage back in time, prompting audiences to reflect on their own youth and the poignant memories of high school graduation.
