Robert Wilson: Moby Dick
Melville’s white whale becomes music theatre through Robert Wilson’s visual staging and Anna Calvi’s score.
Culture Shanghai
A West Bund stage for touring dance and performance, with the riverfront close at hand.
Build the visit around a production that interests you, then use the wider waterfront for the time before the curtain. Check the full venue name on your booking: West Bund Theatre, West Bund Museum and the neighbouring art spaces have separate programmes and entrances. Tickets, language information and start times belong to individual shows, so a general West Bund itinerary is no substitute for checking the performance details.
