Boom and bust in China's small theatres

Small theatres have been thriving in Beijing in recent years, a trend that hit a peak back in 2009 when these smaller venues tripled in number. But since then, the market has taken a bit of a U-turn and is now facing a decline. Let's take a look at the forces behind these ups and down in the theatre business.

This performance is put together by Lei Theatre, one of Beijing's smaller theatres working on a limited budget. Its productions mainly focus on interactive comedy, giving the audience a good laugh.

An audience member said, "It's great see the performers up close and interacting with them"

While it's all joy and laughter for the audience, it's quite a different story behind the scenes for theatre founder Lei Zile.

Lei Zile, founder of Lei Theatre, said, "There's just no room for profit these days. Even if I sold out all my tickets, I could only break even. At one point I even had to sell my car to pay the salary of my employees, it was a nightmare"

And Lei is not alone. Star theatre is another smaller operation that's also running into trouble. It built 5 theatres in 2009, but so far this year its only been able to sell tickets for one theatre on Sundays.

The reason behind the depression is the quality of the performances. Small theatres run on a low budget, drawing a lot of competition for market share. Not all of them are qualified professionals.

Tao Zi, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said, "Many actors are quite amateur in their performance and the directors lack innovation. For the audience it's the same old every time, then they stop coming."

The audience are becoming more savvy. While many small theatres are suffering from the depression, productions by recognized directors are thriving.

Meng Jinghui, director, said, "Some people are only in for the profit and not the art itself, that's a dead end. At the end of the day, works of true artistic value win out"

So regardless of the boom and bust in the small theatre market, it looks likely that the cream will still rise to the top.
