Interpreting the ancient legendary beauty dance drama “Xi Shi” from a contemporary perspective premiered in Hangzhou
Hangzhou Daily News As one of the four beauties in ancient China, Xi Shi has become synonymous with “beauty” for more than two thousand years. However, behind the legend, what kind of person is Xi Shi as an ordinary woman? How should modern people interpret and understand the beauty of Shih Tzu? A few days ago, the large-scale original dance drama “Xi Shi” premiered at the Hangzhou Grand Theater, providing the audience with a unique perspective of interpreting Xi Shi.
Compared with traditional dance dramas, “Xi Shi” pays special attention to the expression of oriental minimalist aesthetics. Whether it is in the dance sequence or the design of the stage design, it tries its best to combine oriental elegance with modern minimalism.
The interaction between reality and reality and two-line narrative are major features of the play. “Xi Shi” creates two layers of illusions for the audience in terms of stage design, one is Xi Shi’s fantasy regarding love, and the other is the illusion of luxury and luxury created by Gou Jian for Wu Guo in order to restore the country. These two layers of fantasy are presented through an inverted stage setting, whether it is a pavilion, a mountain or a ship, are hung upside down in the air, presenting a scene of flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.
The whole play also makes extensive use of the art of blank space. For example, when Xi Shi held a wedding ceremony for herself, all the dance beauty was removed from the stage, leaving only pure red and white. The audience left more room for imagination and taste.
Famous dancer Yang Liping watched the play live. After the performance, Yang Liping commented: “From the perspective of young people, this drama has completed a new interpretation of classic IP, allowing us to see the power of modern women in Xi Shi, a traditional character.”
Xie Qiong, the chief planner and chief producer of the dance drama “Xi Shi”, introduced that since October last year, the resident performance show “Dream of Xi Shi” with the same theme has been staged in Zhuji, the hometown of Xi Shi, for more than 200 times. The premiere means that the model of “residence + tour” has been practiced on the cultural IP of “Xi Shi”.
