Daliangshan International Theater Festival will kick off on Nov 11 at the foot of Daliang Mountain, Sichuan province.

About 20 stage productions, covering a diversity of genres, such as plays, musicals, dance dramas and symphonic concerts, will be staged, including the Chinese plays, When We Two Parted, which depicts the friendship between a pair of female physicists  and is directed by Zhu Hongxuan, Every Brilliant Thing, which is co-produced by Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center and Sichuan People's Art Theater, and an outdoor show, featuring folk songs performed local Yi ethnic singers.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the festival will also offer online shows for people who cannot visit Daliangshan. The closing date of the festival has not been decided yet since performance schedules are heavily affected by the pandemic.

In 2019, Daliangshan International Theater Festival was initiated by 23 artists from home and abroad, such as Pu Cunxin, a veteran Chinese actor and renowned director Wang Xiaoying. So far, 176 performing art troupes from China and abroad performed in the festival, as well as students from 41 Chinese schools, which attracted over 200,000 people in audiences. The types of performances ranged from the traditional theater productions, such as plays and operas, to contemporary genres, such as experimental opera and physical theater.

Thanks to its beautiful natural sceneries, the festival has also attracted many tourists.
