In the past few years, the most remarkable thing about the Nanjing Massacre is the decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress in 2014 to designate December 13 as the National Day of Commemoration for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, and since then, the annual mourning activities at the local level have been upgraded to the national level; in 2015, the Nanjing Massacre Archive was included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Heritage List, and the memory of Chinese 1.3 billion has since become the common memory of all mankind. The Nanjing Massacre is more deeply engraved on the historical column.
Against this backdrop, Deep in Memory chooses to look to those who witnessed the Holocaust, presenting memories buried deep in the soul. The whole drama starts from the perspective of the Chinese-American writer Zhang Chunru exploring the Nanjing Massacre massacre, taking the exploration of the 1937 "Nanjing Massacre" tragedy as the clue, taking the memories of the witnesses of the tragedy as the theme, the screenwriter forms an interlocking script with relatively independent and mutually corroborating chapters, although the vision and original intention of each character are different, but in the end they all refer to the same truth: in the name of peace, with this work, to pay tribute to the suffering and pain experienced by our nation. In the days of devastation and hell, we can find a lot of love from people watching out for each other, giving up their lives, and being tenacious and brave. After the baptism of the Holocaust, these loves transcend personal emotions.
"Deep in Memory" is strictly based on historical materials and contrast, combined with documentary and artistic, and created and presented with new ideas and techniques. Taking Zhang Chunru as the clue, taking the rescuers (represented by Rabe and Wei Telin), the survivors (based on Li Xiuying and others), and the Japanese soldiers (based on Toshiro and others) as the main line, the memories of those who witnessed the nanjing massacre are elicited. Each chapter in the dance drama is a dialogue, not only a dialogue with Zhang Chunru, but also a dialogue with the past, with human nature, with conscience, and ultimately boils down to a contest between good and evil.
"Deep in Memory" does not take "beauty" as the premise, but takes "truth" as the premise, takes "truth" as the soul, uses a contemporary perspective, has the stage texture of modern aesthetic concepts, and the most direct and powerful dance vocabulary captures the strongest explosive point of character emotion and the most sensitive point of psychological contradiction. All the characters in the play have really existed, real history, real human nature. In the choreography, the main characters and the soul of the group are also sought to express the most authentic expression.
The dance of the soul of the great opening and closing has a strong sculptural nature, and the main characters' vocabulary is tense and nuanced, which not only expresses multiple levels of emotion, but also leaves a deep historical imprint on each character. In addition to retaining a small amount of necessary narrative, the choreography of the dance focuses on the environment in which the characters are located and the complex psychology of their human nature, those that are respectable, pious, brave, honest, persistent, and of course abominable, pointing to the unforgettable parts of the memory, showing the different forces of the dance drama that reach the hearts of the people.
"Deep in Memory" is written and directed by the famous choreographer Tong Ruirui, performed by the Opera and Dance Theater of Jiangsu Performing Arts Group, Jiangsu Youth Song and Dance Troupe, and Jiangsu Performing Arts Group Dance Center, and Zhang Chunru is played by dancer Li Yiran.
The creative team includes famous composer Guo Sida, choreographers He Tao and Li Hongjun, Ren Dongsheng, chief designer of national first-class stage lighting, A Kuan, Li Yuduo, famous costume designer, Hu Tianji, multimedia designer, and Xu Bin, chief stylist of the National Ballet of China.
