- "Boss, are you good at it?" ”
-- "Some of the most famous dishes in our restaurant are roast chicken with chestnuts." Do you want to brais or stew? ”
- "To braised, plus millet spicy." ”
You think this is an ordinary restaurant doing business, but in fact this is a set of revolutionary code words. Anyone who can answer the contact code words such as "red braised" and "millet spicy" is a comrade or progressive person in our party. On the evening of September 29, the Sichuan Grand Theatre, the dance drama "Effort Meal" reproduced this classic scene in the form of dance.
From late September to November, during the golden autumn season, the 2021 National Excellent Dance Drama Invitation Exhibition will be held in Chengdu. As the first "Lotus Award" dance drama in Chengdu, "Effort Meal" opened the curtain of the national outstanding dance drama invitation exhibition.
In the next two months, Sichuan audiences will enjoy 12 high-level and excellent plays from 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country.

The repertoire will be performed in the Sichuan Grand Theatre, OCT Grand Theatre and Chengdu City Concert Hall, and the audience can purchase tickets on the online platform, and many repertoire tickets will also enjoy 100 yuan of huimin tickets and performance season packages.
12 national dance drama "ceiling" gathered in Rongcheng
After the opening performance of "Effort Meal", after the Return of the National Day holiday, two outstanding "Lotus Award" award-winning works will meet the Rongcheng audience in October, namely "Cavalry" brought by the Inner Mongolia National Art Theater and "Jinggang Jinggang" brought by the Beijing Dance Academy Youth Dance Troupe. "Cavalry" is the first national dance drama with cavalry as the theme in the history of Chinese stage art; "Jinggang Jinggang" is a revolutionary heroic drama, but it is innovatively integrated into local cultural and artistic forms such as Jiangxi folk music and Jiangxi tea picking opera.
November will be the peak of this dance drama exhibition, and 9 high-quality dance dramas will be displayed in a concentrated manner. The Internet celebrity hit "The Eternal Electric Wave" depicts the unsung heroes on the hidden front; "Little Sisters of the Prairie Heroes" recreates the story of the Prairie Heroes 50 years ago in a new art form. "Eight Girls Throwing River" brought by Liaoning Ballet tells the familiar revolutionary story of the northeast, and also integrates the northeast yangge and Korean dance, which is very national.
Folk customs will also be the highlight of this exhibition of dance dramas. The large-scale dance drama "Awakening the Lion" takes the national intangible cultural heritage project "Guangdong Awakening Lion" as the theme, telling the story of the struggle of the sons and daughters of Southern Guangdong in the context of the anti-British struggle in Sanyuanli, while "Pomegranate Blossom" takes the inheritance of the "flower drum lamp" on the bank of the Huai River as the clue, showing the folk charm of the pure Anhui flower drum lamp. In addition, there are dance dramas "Home" and "Zhu Ziqing" adapted from literary themes, showing the beauty of humanities and arts.
"Lotus Award" winner "Effort Meal" opening performance
Creator: Do our best to be our host
Starting from the deeds of an "atypical" revolutionary in Chengdu, the dance drama "Effort Meal" focuses on the "Effort Dining House" in Chengdu in the 1930s, telling the story of how a generation of revolutionaries struggled hard to solve the problem of eating for the toiling masses and fought to the end. In the 100-minute performance time, "Effort Meal" shows the powerful spiritual world and unswerving faith of a generation of revolutionaries with fresh stage presentation and artistic expression.
The reporter saw at the scene that the dance drama "Effort Meal" was innovatively interspersed with kung fu tea performances, Sichuan opera face changes, etc., and even a series of local chengdu citizens' lives such as ear removal, foot washing, shoe shine, massage, etc. Coupled with the emergence of scenes such as boiled fish, mapo tofu, hot pot, and dandan noodles, the dance drama is very "grounded", with a strong Chengdu fireworks atmosphere, and the living and free sentient beings.
Director Wang Sisi was interviewed by a cover news reporter before the opening performance, and she said that "eating" is a major feature of this play, and almost every scene of the play has "eating", which has almost become a symbolic means of expression. "The play is called 'Effort Meal' and tells the story of what happened in a restaurant. In addition, we Sichuan people are also delicious and love to eat, and this design is also well integrated with Sichuan characteristics. Wang Sisi said.
It is true that this dance drama has food, rap, and Sichuan opera, and the burning point and the tear point coexist. At the opening performance of the exhibition, the fierce applause has already indicated the audience's recognition of the play.
Speaking of this national excellent dance drama to come to Rong, director Wang Sisi also expressed his joy: "First of all, this is a very good platform, and to be honest, for dance drama, this kind of research and discussion, centralized exchange time is actually very small, this is a rare opportunity to learn from each other." As a local dance drama in Chengdu, we must do our best to host the friendship. ”
In recent years, with the diversification of the performance market, cultural and artistic works have continued to be revitalized. A series of elegant arts such as musicals, dance dramas, operas, and symphonic music began to explore the path of "going out of the circle". Since the dance drama was "introduced" from abroad in the 1930s and improved in combination with the reality of our country, it has been loved by people. Especially in recent years, dance dramas such as "The Eternal Radio Wave" and "Effort Meal" have also continuously expanded the market for young people with high-quality content and forms.
What other room for progress can dance dramas be tapped into in China? What are the current trends in the dance world? In addition to providing an audio-visual feast for the public, this exhibition is also a rare exchange opportunity for dance practitioners across the country. It is understood that this exhibition and performance will hold academic seminars, youth "dance" and other extended activities, and carry out national high-quality dance drama creation seminars, academic lectures, on-site exchanges, creative style and other activities.
