The show was directed by Zhang Yimou, a famous Chinese director who was also responsible for the eight-minute summer handover in Athens in 2004 as well as the opening and closing ceremonies in Beijing in 2008 that received considerable international acclaim.
这场演出由中国著名导演张艺谋执导，此前他还执导了2004年雅典奥运会上的8分钟交接表演，以及2008年北京奥运会的开幕式和闭幕式，在国际上备受赞誉。
Unlike Athens which focused on displaying Chinese history with traditional elements like red lantern and jasmine, “Beijing 8 Minutes” emphasized the Chinese people’s sincere welcome to the world using modern technology.

Performers danced with 24 intelligent robots – representing Beijing hosting the 24th Winter Olympics – as they showed scenes of sports such as skating and skiing.
舞台上，表演者和24个智能机器人共同演绎了滑冰、滑雪等运动项目，24则代表着将在北京举行的第24届冬奥会。
Leading the team were two dancers in costumes of panda puppets that are the world’s largest but the lightest at the same time, each weighing only about 10 kilograms. To guarantee minimal pressure on the two dancers, researchers had tried hundreds of different materials until ending up with a combination of aluminum alloy tube and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer strip.
领舞的是两名身穿熊猫木偶服装的表演者，这两套熊猫木偶服装是目前世界最大，同时也是最轻的，每只仅重约10公斤。为了使两名舞者的承重降到最低，研究人员测试了上百种材料，最终确定了用铝合金管材和碳纤维条相结合。

During the whole performance the dancers and robots both wore LED lights on them that are capable of enduring the cold weather at PyeongChang Olympic Stadium without the risks of breaking. The uniforms were also made with graphene to keep the dancers warm.
在整个演出过程中，舞蹈演员和机器人身上都佩戴着LED照明灯，这些可以经受住平昌奥运场馆的严寒，不会出故障。演出服也是采用石墨烯材料制成，可以为演员防寒保暖。

Images were projected to the icy floor while dancers skated across it, creating a sense of augmented reality. A number of moving monitors in the middle of the field were also controlled by artificial intelligence.
演出时，舞蹈演员滑行穿过投射在冰面上的图像，创造出增强现实的意境。体育场中央的几个移动大屏幕也是由人工智能控制的。
