The newly created acrobatic theater "Platform" is produced by the Publicity Department of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, and the Guangzhou Cultural Development Group Co., Ltd., and created and performed by the Guangzhou Acrobatic Art Theater. It aims to be an attempt at a new art form - "new circus", and through the perspective of travelers, it shows the profound pursuit of human beings for dreams, freedom, courage and life exploration.

The play revolves around the experiences and feelings of travelers during their long journeys, reflecting everyone's deep desire for the unknown, courage for challenges, and exploration of the meaning of life, and emphasizes that even in the face of difficulties and uncertainties, people still need to firmly pursue their dreams and move forward.
