Theatre of Piying Dream

This week on I Love KL, we immerse ourselves in the fantastical world of "Piying Dream", a brand-new immersive art exhibition at REXPERIENCE KL. The immersive exhibition, created by China-based immersive digital art exhibitor Temple of Light, is a digitally animated showcase of Chinese shadow puppetry that weaves together over 3,000 shadow puppet artefacts to create an audio-visual experience audiences can interact with and fully immerse themselves in.

We speak to Jean Borie de Varine, co-founder of Temple of Light, to find out what it takes to create immersive art experiences around the world, translating the traditional Chinese shadow puppet art form into a 4D 360-degree experience together with traditional folk art practitioners and artists from around the world, and what audiences can expect at the exhibition.

Piying Dream is open now till 6th September 2024 at REXPERIENCE KL.
