Moscow Hostage Drama Revisit in Shenzhen
Eight performers of a Russian drama team, who were taken hostage in the Moscow theater terrorist attack last October, will pray for world peace with their performances at the Minsk World in Shenzhen during the Chinese New Year holidays.

A new play entitled Peaceful Bell for the New Year, which is based on the historic event, will express the performers' wishes for world peace in their own way, according to the organizer.

The show, which will run from Feb. 1 to 7, is said to be the first staged outside Russia since the hostage crisis.

They arrived at Shenzhen Tuesday afternoon and will made their debut at the Shenzhen-Russian Cultural Festival at the Minsk World, which is organized by Shenzhen Municipal Tourism Bureau and Shenzhen People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.

They were giving a performance at a Moscow theater Oct. 23 when the heavily armed Chechens stormed the theater and took the audience and performers hostage, demanding a military withdrawal from Chechnya.

The hostage nightmare ended with 118 hostages dead and 750 rescued.

Eighteen performers and staff members of the drama team were among the dead.
