Abstract

This paper aims to explore the deterioration and reconstruction of the historical and cultural heritage of human society in the face of the technological impact and commercial carnival of the new era, thus facing a severe survival shift. Based on the perspective of stage design as an artistic creation form, combined with the author's four years of undergraduate learning experience and expansion accumulation, this paper deeply explores how stage design can provide shelter for historical heritage and guide it, so that it can combine different artistic creation thinking and technological forms in the new era, so as to complete adaptation and reconstruction while being deconstructed, so as to find a broader future on and off the stage.
