This Thursday, December 4, 2025, Peng Liyuan 🎨 and Brigitte Macron 🤝 made a memorable stop at the Beijing People's Art Theatre (BPAT) during the French President's state visit to the Chinese mainland.
At the Theatre Museum, the duo explored the BPAT's rich history and its ongoing exchanges with the French theatre community. They got a behind-the-scenes peek at the set design for 'Teahouse' 🎭—a classic slice-of-life play that captures the heart of 20th-century Beijing tea houses.
In the theatre auditorium, Peng invited Brigitte to enjoy a live segment of the performance. The two chatted warmly with the actors, sharing laughs and insights about the magic of stagecraft. It was a perfect blend of culture and diplomacy, proving that art transcends borders.
For young arts lovers across South and Southeast Asia, this visit shines a spotlight on how cultural exchange can spark fresh inspiration—whether you're vibing with local street plays in Jakarta or catching indie theatre in Mumbai. Remember: the world's a stage, so go make your mark! 🌏✨
