Hailed as one of the finest Chinese dance dramas, The Eternal Wave brings history vividly to the stage. Inspired by the true story of Li Bai, a Chinese intelligence agent, the production follows his twelve-year undercover mission in 1930s–40s Shanghai, capturing moments of danger, loyalty, and quiet courage.

The story unfolds entirely through movement, without dialogue, supported by clever use of props, newspapers, and telegrams, bringing Shanghai's streets and daily life to the stage. Cinematic lighting, dynamic stage design, and fluid choreography immerse audiences in a tense, suspenseful world.
The drama reveals the human side of heroism: ordinary people driven by extraordinary beliefs, navigating fear and loss with resilience. It offers audiences a moving, unforgettable experience of courage, faith, and enduring ideals.
