UK Tsinghua Association × Shen Wei’s Angkor Wat Project

Paris, May 14, 2025. In a spellbinding debut at the Musée Guimet—France’s national museum for Asian arts—internationally acclaimed choreographer and visual artist Shen Wei unveiled his newest interdisciplinary creation: The Angkor Wat Project. More than a performance, it was a transcendental journey through time, cultures, and the inner self.

Among the audience was Dr. Gao Yuan, Secretary-General of the UK Tsinghua Association, who not only attended the world premiere but also engaged afterward in a profound dialogue with Mr. Evrard Didier, former Director of the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris and current President of France’s National Graphic Design Center, Le Signe. Together, they reflected on the spiritual architecture and cultural resonance of Shen Wei’s latest creation.
