"Different kinds of arts all have something in common. Through merging diverse elements, we hope to bring the audience visual enjoyment and show cultural coexistence and fusion," he said.
Enwer Samat, vice-president of Xinjiang Art Theater said: "The Belt and Road Initiative has promoted prosperity of multi-ethnic culture in Xinjiang, together with cultural exchanges along the Silk Road."
Recently, he led more than 100 actors and staff members to Beijing to perform the original song and dance drama Forever Meshrep, which means "forever gathering" in Uygur. This drama is Xinjiang's intangible cultural heritage which combines song, dance, folk music, drama and poetry. It is commonly seen during festivals, weddings and other occasions.
