Recently, as part of the Shanghai project “Cultural Aid to Xinjiang,” the original ballet “In Search of Muqam” by the Shanghai Ballet Company was performed at the Grand Theatre of Urumqi. The performance is based on the art of muqam (a musical work in Uyghur music — editor’s note), which is inscribed on UNESCO’s intangible cultural heritage list and is a national cultural treasure of China. The ballet tells the story of a young musician named Guli who returns to her homeland, and childhood memories help her rediscover the modern sound and vital energy of the art of muqam.
