Like many travelers, you may only visit the same place but in different countries.
Make a change; go to the theater instead of the beach.
Here's a brief look at Asian performing arts.
Indian Classical Dance Dating back to 400 BC, Indian classical dance is originated from Natyasastra, a Hindu musical theatre style.
Hindu mythology and folklore influence the theme of the dance.
While you are in India, go to the National Center for the Performing Arts in Mumbai to catch a classical Indian dance recital.
You can also drop by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhawan for recitals.
Also, if you visit during festival time, there's always a show at every corner.
Beijing Opera The Beijing Opera depicts famous historical legends and tales with the emphasis on pantomime.
The art form of the Beijing Opera uses minimal props and tends to indicate actions and objects through stage conventions.
One of the famous venues to enjoy the Beijing Opera is the Zhengyici Theatre, which is one of the few ancient but well preserved theaters in China.
They stage two programs every evening.
You can also pay a visit to the Liyuan Theatre where you are allowed to view the actors prepare for their performances.
Balinese Dance The reflection of the cultural and religious impact of India and Java are highly reflected through the dance.
Balinese dance are highly expressive through facial and bodily movements that mirrors the beat of the accompanying gamelan.
