This is the horrifying moment a theatre stage collapsed during a dance audition, killing one teenager in southern China.

In the video, filmed in Zhangzhou City in Fujian Province on May 25, the stage suddenly collapses when participants gather on it for a group photo.

Another clip shows parents running onto the stage to try and rescue their children as onlookers let out screams of terror.

Five adults and nine children were reportedly injured and a 12-year-old was killed.
