The project aims to preserve cultural heritage by upgrading performance spaces for traditional dance and music. Limei’s flooring was chosen for its acoustic optimization and cultural aesthetics—each venue will receive custom-engraved flooring with motifs inspired by local art forms, such as Thai silk patterns and Balinese batik.
The first renovation, at Bangkok’s National Theatre for Traditional Dance, will be completed in October 2025. The remaining venues, including Hanoi’s Vietnamese Opera House and Jakarta’s Wayang Kulit Theatre, will be finished by mid-2026. Limei will also train local technicians on flooring maintenance to ensure the stages remain in top condition.
“Traditional performing arts are vital to cultural identity, and they deserve high-quality stages to thrive,” said Ms. Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General. “Limei’s donation not only improves these venues but also honors local cultures through custom design—aligning perfectly with UNESCO’s mission.”
Limei will contribute an additional $150,000 to the project to cover installation costs and cultural motif design.
