Wearing an enormous dress made of umbrellas and floating majestically across the water, a Dutch soprano sings classic Chinese songs to spectators during a performance of “The Floating Diva” at the K11 ECOAST retail and cultural complex in Nanshan District. The short theatrical music piece debuted in Shenzhen from Oct. 6 to 8. “The Floating Diva” is a site‑specific spectacle by Dutch artist Victorine Pasman, acclaimed as a national treasure in the Netherlands. Inspired by 17th‑century European court dress and the Netherlands’ watery landscapes, the work fuses drama, music, and aquatic stagecraft.Liu Xudong
