The Sheng Gong opera is not the only occasion when a bamboo-built stage is needed. A lot many traditional Chinese folk festivals feature similar Chinese operas staged in a bamboo structure.
The bamboo-built stage is an art form that originates from years of yore. It was lucky of us that Chris got a chance to photograph the builders making a stage and shared the photos with us.
I dug into my photos and managed to find two photos I took in a museum. The photos show the completed bamboo structure before being covered by galvanized zinc sheets.
