Troupes from each BRICS country will bring their most
representative work. Xu said that his troupe will choose a scene from
Red Detachment of Women, a classic Chinese ballet that premiered in
1964, and the Russian troupe will perform an excerpt from The
Nutcracker.
Interactions among the five countries' performers also are designed to reflect their friendship. He said a Chinese ballerina will cooperate with a Brazilian dancer for an excerpt from Don Quixote.
"It's also a good chance to promote different countries' ballet culture for the public, which is even more important than performance," Xu said, explaining he will provide introductions and background information during intervals. The dancers are scheduled to visit schools in Xiamen for communication as well.
"Cultural communication among BRICS countries is not exclusive to big theaters," Xie said. "They should go deeper into communities and benefit more ordinary people, and improve mutual understanding of each other's traditions and values."
Cultural cooperation under the BRICS framework has already yielded some fruits. In June, the five countries' filmmakers released a coproduction - Where Has the Time Gone? - during the BRICS Film Festival in Chengdu, Sichuan province.
BRICS cultural ministers or chief administrators met in Tianjin in July, establishing alliances of museums, art galleries and children's theaters.
Under the agreement reached at the Tianjin conference, the cultural festival will rotate among the five countries to host of BRICS summits.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
