On September 30, Spain’s premier avant-garde theater troupe brings the visual spectacle Pastoral for the Planet to the Beijing Music Festival, featuring the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra under the baton of its new Music Director, Huang Yi.

Pastoral for the Planet was initially inspired by Beethoven’s Sixth Symphony, widely celebrated as the composer’s “Pastoral.” From there, the troupe extends its imagination to supplement other works in the program, including Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and Creatures of Prometheus, Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon and Battle and Victory, even folk songs from Africa and Europe, all connected under the rubric of ecology and preservation encompassing the rich context that is musical culture. The entire production fuses both classical and modern music, combining musical materials with live visual effects in an immersive world as we explore the complex relationship between man and nature, delving into such contemporary conflicts and issues as environmental protection, consumerism and ecological harmony. The fourth wall breaks as the show unfolds, with audiences interacting with the performers on stage through a phone app, deepening their understanding of sustainability. Everyone constantly reacts and responds as the performance proceeds, determining different endings and emotional outcomes.

The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Sino-Spanish diplomatic relations, and this production co-created by La Fura dels Baus and France’s Insula Orchestra and Grand Théâtre de Provence bears testament to a new chapter of cultural exchange between the two countries as well as BMF as an effective platform connecting China with the world. Founded in 1979, La Fura dels Baus has made a succession of artistic breakthroughs since the 1990s. In 1992, the company produced the Opening Ceremony of the Barcelona Olympics, attracting more than 500 million viewers worldwide. This marks the debut of La Fura dels Baus on any festival stage in China.

《田园星球》从贝多芬著名的《第六交响曲》出发，这部交响名作有着广泛 流传的副题“田园”。从“田园”的立意发散艺术想象力，贝多芬的《第 七交响曲》《普罗米修斯的生民》等作品与德国作曲家卡尔 • 韦伯的《战 斗与胜利》《奥伯龙》等交响名作轮番奏响，来自非洲与欧洲的民歌民谣间 或唱响，以“环境与保护“为线索，穿梭于人类音乐文化的丰富生态之中。 整部作品融合了从古典时期到现代音乐的风格与特点，以丰富的音乐素材与 现场视觉交互体验的结合，引导观众进入沉浸体验的空间中，探索人与自然 的复杂关系，探讨环保、消费和生态间和谐与冲突等复杂时代命题。在观演 过程中，观众与舞台间的第四堵墙将通过使用手机应用参与互动的形式被打破，观众将通过互动成为演出的参与者和亲历者，在互动与观演的过程中加深对环保、可持续发展等问题的思考。而观众将在与演出的不断交互中逐渐 做出选择，通向不同的结局和情感体验。

2023 年是中国与西班牙建交 50 周年，这部由西班牙顶级团队拉夫拉前卫剧团领衔法国 Insula 管弦乐团及普罗旺斯大剧院联袂打造的视觉交响将见证中西两国文化交流的新篇章，彰显了北京国际音乐节在中国与世界文化交流领域的平台效应。拉夫拉前卫剧团（La Fura dels Baus）成立于 1979 年。
