West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre

Due to its popularity, the WKCDA continues to organise the West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre annually after 2012.

Starting from 2013, apart from Cantonese opera, the theatre also provides performances of modern music and Chinese dance.

[1] Since 2012, a temporary bamboo theatre, covering 1,800 square metres, has been set up by the WKCDA during the Chinese New Year for the performances.

Five rarely-seen opera-themed film classics, including John Woo's Princess Chang Ping (1976) and Ann Hui's Spooky Bunch (1980), also be shown in back-to-back outdoor screenings with English subtitles.

[8] The 2013 Bamboo Theatre was covered by a golden orange nylon net so as to make the venue look like an ancient palace-like architecture,[9] holding various performances, a fair and an exhibition during the 3-week period.

A crossover of tradition and innovative Augmented Reality (AR) technology was also introduced in 2013's West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre.

[11] The location was changed to West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade due to the construction of Xiqu Centre.

Talks and educational activities concerning the development of Chinese opera were also included in the 2014 West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre.
