Fictional works that tell imaginable stories; non-fiction works that record unimaginable lives. Life keeps moving forward, and the works grow naturally. From November 12th to 14th, the Suren Dance Theater "Yo-Yo Vision", which has aroused strong repercussions inside and outside the circle, will return to the Shanghai International Dance Center and return to the place where it was born, with a more vigorous and exuberant appearance, so that you can see its growth and their transformation.

The first time I met Wang Qinyu, in the rehearsal scene before the premiere of "Yo-Yo Horizon", when he was only 10 years old, dancing street dance was already a light on the stage, and offstage, he was still a slightly naughty boy. When asked why he came to Shanghai, he thought clearly that he wanted to stand on a bigger stage: "I came to Shanghai to dance, not because of Disney or beautiful night scenes, but because there are more opportunities and fun things here, such as events like "Yo-Yo Horizon". "It's only half a year's work, and the new season of "This, it's Hip Hop!" At the end of the curtain, he was invited to dance with Acky (Akiyo), a 47-year-old Japanese veteran dancer, playing freely and without stage fright.
"It's a work that grows naturally, presenting a real, ongoing, unique life experience for everyone right now." Director Song Xinxin said, "After 4 months of not seeing, everyone's state has changed, which will naturally bring some adjustments." For example, the young actors have obviously grown up, Xu Wang Rongping has changed his voice, and the little boy has become a small man. Wang Qinyu and Wang Yuying also jumped better and more infectiously than before. We will make some adjustments according to the mood of the actors. Show their truest emotions and strength as much as possible. ”

As a dance work tailored for 13 ordinary people, "Yo-Yo Horizon" has no B-corner, no supporting role, and each of them has their own irreplaceable paragraphs and irreproducible experiences. Before returning to study, life and work, this group of ordinary people who dance for love decided to take off the mask of life once again and dance out of their true selves.
Due to the special nature of the works of the ordinary people, they cannot be copied and cannot be performed for a long time, and they may not be staged after "sealing the box". Zhang Bowen, general manager of the National Dance Theater, said frankly: "Although the life of the work is short, the national dance theater has a starting point for the works of the people, and will continue to pay attention to and support the dancers and dance troupes. We will no longer limit and define 'ordinary people', but use 'mortals' to encourage and invite every ordinary person to dance at will. ”
It is worth mentioning that knowing that this mortal dance theater "Yo-Yo Horizon" is about to be staged again, Xie Xin, Hao Ruoqi, Wang Jiajun, Zhu Fengwei (Da Zhu) and other "immortal dancers" have incarnated as "tap water" and called them on Weibo, WeChat and other platforms. Wang Jiajun said: "They danced the most sincere dance and presented their truest selves to the audience. (Xinmin Evening News reporter Zhu Yuan)
