"The years rush to Labian", Beijing often has a net outflow of population, and everyone returns home for the New Year. This year, because the Winter Olympics are about to be held, the more people from all over the world have come to the roots in recent years, including artists from Suzhou, who have presented a set of combined works that bring together Kun opera, Su opera, Suzhou pingtan, documentaries and other artistic disciplines to the audience in Beijing, and present the literary and artistic life of Suzhou in three dimensions, so that the north of the ninth cold winter also adds a bit of Jiangnan spring color and noise.
The documentary film "Tiangong Suzuo" was released during the summer vacation last year, and like most documentaries on the theater line, there are not many films and the release is short. The special screening at the China Film Archive on January 8 not only provided the joy of making up for the missed friends in the middle of the year, but also invited several protagonists in the film, the inheritors of the silk reeling machine and the silk reeling technique, to teach the audience on the machine to practice, which is a rare opportunity in Beijing. The film gives a panoramic bird's eye view of several famous intangible cultural heritages in Suzhou, such as lanterns, Suzhou embroidery, nuclear carvings, boat points, etc., as if the "Gusu Prosperous Map" of the slow exhibition volume is enough for people to trace the ming and qing dynasties to Suzhou's "merchants and spokes, department stores and Khotan" city style, and appreciate the skills of Suzhou craftsmen. Limited by the length of the film medium, Suzhou craftsmanship is only slightly exposed in the film, the people and stories behind it are not as detailed as detailed, and there are more technical categories that have not yet been mentioned. This also makes people look forward to the follow-up actions of the producer, and look forward to the development of the image record of the ingenious "Suzhou-like" from "single product" to "set", from "opening" to "long story".
As an artist who is also an artist of Kunsu, Wang Fang has performed more Kunqu opera in Beijing, whether it is the traditional "Peony Pavilion" and "Hall of Eternal Life", or the "Full Bed Wat" adapted by the arrangement, or the folding plays such as "Folding LiuYangguan" and "Adopted Son", which have been performed in various theaters in Beijing in recent years, and Su opera has rarely appeared. The last time I saw Wang Fang's Su opera performance in Beijing was in the summer of 2019 before the epidemic, she brought the prestigious "Drunken Return" and played the delicate girl in "Three Words and Two Beats" who was exiled to Pingkang because of the change of Jingkang. This time, she performed the Modern Drama of Su Opera "Guoding Soul", which played the story of Pan Dayu, who guarded Da Lu Ding and Da Ke Ding, from a new widow to a white head, which was a test for the actors. Compared with the one-man show of Pan Da yu in the middle of the plot that is almost "Crazy Dream" in the middle of the plot, the first half of Pan Da Yu and the father Pan Zunian played by the famous tin opera artist Zhang Tangbing on why Baoding is not protected can reflect the true meaning of guarding the cultural context for thousands of years, and can also highlight the true color of Su Tan's duet, which has a unique artistic style.
Using Suzhou local art to interpret the story of Suzhou people, focusing on other aspects of suzhou people's stereotypes, it can be said that it is a major feature of the Suzhou Culture and Art Exhibition Week of "Meet Beijing and Meet Jiangnan", and the performances of Suzhou Pingtan Folding Zi and Kunshan Kun Opera Troupe have chosen Gu Yanwu as the theme, focusing on the speculations he formed in his later years about the death of the world and the fall of the country. Suzhou Commentary Bomb Selection "Gu Yanwu Journey to the North" chose to fictionalize the dream dialogue between Gu Yanwu and the ghost of the Wang clan of the simu, after all, it was the mother's hunger strike and death that made Gu Yanwu insist on refusing to clear things throughout his life, and the biao of the mother's gains and losses in his article made him somewhat relieved. The Kun opera "Gu Yanwu" is a fictional dialogue between Gu Yanwu and the young Kangxi in front of the Ming Tomb in Nanjing. Kangxi confronted Gu Yanwu about having shaved his hair and changed his clothes, encouraging his sons and nephews to become a soldier, but he still refused to participate in the study of the History of Ming and wandered in the mountains and wilderness in order to lose ground. Gu Yanwu replied with the famous "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", which made Kangxi lament that "the Zhijie is not in the advance and retreat, and the nostalgia is not stopping the Ming and Qing Dynasties".
The study of the intergenerational differences and entry and exit of the Ming remnants is an area that the academic community has been working on, how to put this abstract examination on the ground, presented in front of the Yuantai, on the red krypton, and different from the various versions of the "Peach Blossom Fan", is not an easy homework, the Suzhou Critics Group and Su Kun have carried out meaningful exploration. Committed to cultural inheritance, it is the theme of "Gu Yanwu" and "Guoding Soul", the same tune presented in Suzhou Pingtan, Kunqu Opera, Su Opera and even documentaries this time, and also the contribution of Suzhou to traditional culture.
In addition to the consistency of the theme spirit, the performances and screenings of this art week also related to each other in details, such as the appearance of Wang Jinshan, the representative inheritor of the silk reeling technique in "Tiangong Suzuo", who has not been seen and heard first, and the first thing that comes is Jiang Yuequan's opening "Baoyu Night Detective" and Wang Jinshan's humming on the radio. And this time the evaluation group not only brought the opening chapter of Jiang Tuning, but also the opening of female Jiang Tuning.
Compared with other theater groups, there are more "new", and the two performances of the judging troupe take into account the "push chen". A concert is mainly based on the opening, the sound is gentle, the styles are diverse, and the genres played are rich and neat, which is rare in the beijing performance market. A folding special session has both the selection of traditional "big books" and "small books", as well as newly created short stories, which fully show the charm of Suzhou Pingtan's art table. In particular, it is worth mentioning that the newly created "Heroic Captain", based on the current affairs of Sichuan Airlines' 3U8633 crew successfully handling flight dangers, playing roles, gimmicks, and the length of ten minutes is fast and appropriate, which is a shangcheng in literary and artistic works that express the same theme. Although the length of the "Three Guards" selection of the big axis is not enough for the audience to fully appreciate the rigidity and softness of the "little good tune", Yuan Xiaoliang's idea that the guards officers need health treasures to enter the Meiling Palace, and the underground party is anxious to come like the current gimmick of the volcanic eruption in Tonga, and the interaction with the audience is excellent, and there is no "language barrier" at all.
Phenology on Beijing ushered in may 9, this time Suzhou art in the "Meet in Beijing" Olympic Cultural Festival and the 22nd "Meet in Beijing" International Art Festival focused on giving back to the audience, Jiangnan donated spring colors in the north of the land out of a willow color. This can't help but make people look forward to seeing a richer display of Suzhou culture in Beijing in the future, such as whether there will be a concentrated exhibition of "Suzhou films" with fake and real skills, and a calligraphy and painting exhibition of Tang Yin, who will die five hundred years later.
