Contemporary acrobatic show “The Butterfly Lovers” will premiere in Shanghai next month, kicking off an international tour to European countries when conditions allow. Known as China’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the folk tale of butterfly lovers has been adapted into various art forms like film, opera and dance.
The plot of the acrobatic show still centers on the two young lovers Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. They long to be together, but against their family’s wishes. The pair are eventually reincarnated as butterflies after death to carry on with their romance.
