Even as a seaside wage earner.

Some people say that Anaya is a utopia for the middle class in Beijing to practice a better life, while others think that it is a besieged city built by self-deception.

It's a three-hour drive from Beijing, and it's located on the Bohai Sea in Qinhuangdao. This place was abandoned eight years ago. Later, I began to build houses, and then there was a lonely library, auditorium, and various living facilities for eating, drinking and having fun, which gradually became a way of vacation.

Anaya is to Beijing what Moganshan is to Shanghai.

We also flew to the Anaya Drama Festival which just ended the day before yesterday. It turned out to be another carnival in the name of drama.

Drama fans are here to watch Meng Jinghui's new world premiere and Chen Minghao's experimental imagination; Wen Qing is here, visiting the document bookstore and exhibiting at UCCA Dune Art Museum.

Lonely library

On the other hand, ordinary people can have a lot of fun. They can punch cards in various online celebrity buildings, taste the world food from south to north, and buy shops. They may even meet stars like Hao Lei and Mei Ting as soon as they turn around.

Art and life are close at hand. In the summer of 20 degrees, such a seaside holiday life is too comfortable!

What impressed me most here was watching Romeo and Juliet at the seaside at 3 am.

This sentence by Chen Minghao, a senior director and actor, is perhaps the most appropriate annotation to this drama festival. "Anaya is life, and drama is life."

Go to the seaside to see a play at three in the morning.

How was the experience?

Two fifty in the morning.

After pressing the fifth alarm clock, I finally got up. While dressing, I regret, "Why did you choose this play?"

With the coolness, I went to the seaside theater in running all the way and passed an incredible sheepfold.

The audience was already dark, and many people were wearing bathrobes and dragging their feet. Finding a seat in the cracks, I tightened my clothes and listened to the sound of yawning beside me.

At three o'clock in the morning, there was a noisy song in the distance, and the voice under the stage became smaller and smaller. Only the rolling waves beat on the beach, suddenly surging and gentle.

Several actors held high the torch and led a group of spectators into the stadium ... "Romeo and Juliet by the Sea" officially started shooting!

This is an experimental drama co-directed by avant-garde drama Chen Minghao and Black Cat Troupe. Before the opening, hundreds to thousands of tickets had been sold.

With the sky and the sea as the curtain and the empty beach as the stage, the plot develops with the skylight.

The morning light is dim

Juliet committed suicide and the funeral was held 600 years later. ...

"That's the East, and Juliet is the sun." When the voice of God sounded, the sun just emerged from the sea!

The red sun Ran Ran rises, and the actors walk from the beach into the waves and towards the sun. ...

"It's so beautiful!" It was not until the end of the play that everyone started clapping like ghosts.

Shocked, magnificent and moved, I forgot the coolness of the wind and the fact that I was at the seaside during the whole process. Only this drama is natural!

The sea is the background, the soundtrack and one of the protagonists. The tension of drama is expressed and released to the maximum extent in nature, which is full of appeal! The idea of going back to catch up on sleep was released from the first minute of the performance and never came back after watching it for a long time.

Besides Anaya, where can there be such a magical and accidental dramatic effect!

In this 1 1 day drama festival, "the sea" is the best protagonist and the carrier of artistic expression. Among the 25 plays, the sea accounts for a large proportion.

Many dramas consider the marine elements at the initial stage of their creation, among which the sci-fi drama Robot in the Universe directed by Yang Ting, Song of the Sad Cafe by Meng Jinghui and Medea are all heavy works.

Song of the Sad Cafe is the world premiere based on the novel of the same name by mccullers, a talented American woman writer. This is the first time that mccullers's works have been put on the stage in China.

It was staged in Lonely Theater, the largest outdoor seaside theater in China, and told three love stories.

A ray of light and sea breeze all affect the presentation effect of the whole play. This uncertainty is full of temptation and excitement, and it also makes every game a little different.

This is probably the charm of drama.

Walk the dog to see the sea

There are also "small advertisements" all over the street.

Wandering in Anaya, you will find that this is a place full of vitality.

Uncle Beijing walks the dog with a rope, non-mainstream youth "go deep" to see the sea, and half a teenager is obsessed with playing with water.

Unconsciously relaxing, I want to hide in the crowd and become a member of the love of summer.

Anaya, who is in the drama festival, is more literary than usual.

On the lawn and on the roof, there are energetic, interesting and colorful drama elements everywhere.

You don't even need to arrange any trips. Just walking in the street, the next second may be attracted by the "small advertisements" distributed along the road to watch the drama.

These "small advertisements" originated from the most distinctive section of the drama festival-"Migratory Birds 300" project, and 300 creators recruited from all over the country worked together to create 300 hours of results.

Lawns, streets, Woods, sand dunes ... every corner is a stage for their performance. Simple and rude, but it is the most abundant and barbaric part of the drama festival.

Ma Yin, the founder of Anaya, said that this is an "anti-aesthetic" drama.

At 7: 40 pm, just after dinner, I watched a musical drama "Meeting You in Paris" with "Small Advertisement".

In a small hemispherical space, only three people are performing, and the lights change with deafening music, just like a disco scene!

I only stayed for five minutes, but my friend from the same trade bumped into my shoulder and motioned me to leave quickly. "I can't stand it, I can't understand it." Fortunately, I can't stay any longer. There may be some art that resonates with a few people.

Just a few steps out, I heard "There is a performance art at the Huang Er Shen Theater at eight o'clock tonight". Looking up, it was a young man wearing a white T-shirt and dragging his feet, shouting with a big horn.

With the feeling that "everything is here", I walked to the theater not far away.

An Englishman was digging a hole in the beach, a girl kept falling backwards to the sponge mat, and a boy in a skirt was spinning around in the same place.

Dig deeper and deeper until you see water; The more girls jump, the more tired they are, and the more painful it is to lie on the mat. And the boys began to ask everyone in the audience, am I beautiful? Do you like me? Why do people hurt me because I'm gay?

When others answered that they didn't like it, he slapped himself hard, leaving no room, and it rang loudly. "It's horrible, I don't want to see it." Some people started to leave.

He stood where he was and fell on the wooden floor without any protective measures. "Crash" and "Crash" were very heavy, and the audience came to him to stop him from hurting himself.

A confrontational but warm atmosphere has been formed between people.

Being in it, there was shock, shock and even fear, and the one-hour performance ended in his tears. I'll hug him when I leave. "Are you stupid? People are performing. " A friend suddenly came to this sentence.

Maybe, but there is nothing to lose by giving a little warmth and encouragement. If this is the sincerity brought by art, then I am willing to choose to believe.

Multi-faceted Anaya

Besides the lonely library, what else?

Everyone has an Anaya in his heart.

I think, don't think so much, this is a multi-faceted community, good for sightseeing, good for art and good for retirement. Anyone can find the side they want.

From the wanton electronic syllables of subculture to the popular drama festivals of literary youth, such a large span is enough to prove that nothing is impossible in Anaya.

You can punch in as an attraction.

Lonely library

Anaya auditorium

The Lonely Library designed by the East Palace, the Anaya Auditorium, the UCCA Dune Art Museum operated by the Open Architecture Office, and the Anaya Art Center designed by Anne, each building has a unique temperament.

At the seaside, on the beach and in the house, their appearance became the spiritual landmark of Anaya.

Anaya art center

It is also a good place to eat, drink and have fun.

Buyers' shops, video game cities, art galleries and multifunctional spaces can meet all kinds of needs.

And oceans drain the golden river, an Italian winery with mountains and rivers ... from grounded northwest pasta to world-class cuisine.

And live in quiet serviced apartments, An Lan Hotel, Mediterranean Hotel, Pulan Hotel and other accommodation spaces at various prices.

After that, we will welcome the Don Hotel under construction, which is a naive utopia with books, coffee, bars and youth hostels tailored for pets.

Tang Tang she hotel

Naive utopia

In the future, the tenth and eleventh issues of Anaya will continue to broaden the imagination of a better life, and we will see it next year.
