Huqiu Quyi Performance was first held more than 200 years ago when Kunqu Opera was in its heyday. From then on it has evolved into a special concert for numerous quyi fans.

Quyi: Chinese folk art forms, including ballad singing, storytelling, comic dialogues, clapper talks, cross talks, etc.

Chinese folk art forms

Yu Qiuyu, Chinese contemporary author and scholar, once spoke highly of Huqiu Quyi Performance, “(Huqiu Quyi Performance) reminds me of the scene where the audience hailed the tragedians in the amphitheater in ancient Greek. Apart from it, it is nearly impossible to find another theater event that is as large and long-standing as Huqiu Quyi Performance in the history of the theater.”
