The festival has become an important brand of cultural exchanges in Nanning, and has gradually become an art ceremony in China and Southeast Asia. Many first-class foreign troupes from ASEAN countries, including Cambodia, Indonesia and Vietnam will cooperate with Chinese drama groups to reinterpret classic dramas.

The event will adopt the 4+1 model (performance, research, exhibition, competition plus big get-together). Various forms of drama activities will be added to the event. The newly added Summit for Heads of China-ASEAN Art Institutions and Groups and joint performances by outstanding artists of China and ASEAN countries will expand the depth and scope of our cooperation. Nanning will play a more important role as a front and hub city for opening to ASEAN countries.
