【Non-hereditary heirs use shadow puppets to celebrate the Winter Olympics】
It lasted three months, three rounds of screening, those hair buns with flowers, wearing embroidered traditional clothing, a variety of traditional patterns are extremely exquisite, between the eyebrows is a happy smile, but the feet are sleds, snowboard shadow puppet people, according to the Winter Olympics ski jumping, swooping skating, figure skating, ice hockey, curling and other 15 sports made of "ice and snow" shadow puppet carving works, presented in front of our eyes, these are haidian intangible cultural heritage Beijing west shadow puppet project, Long, a member of the Haidian Literary Association, is part of a series of 15 Winter Olympic projects launched by the Tianpi Shadow Theatre as a Beijing Qiaoniang work in the room of the athletes of the Winter Olympic Village.
"Beijing's becoming the city of the "Double Olympics" is something that makes everyone proud, and we as shadow puppets also want to express our hearts. The creative process is not easy, ice hockey and curling are better, but sports like figure skating are not so simple. Shadow puppetry is a 'thin piece', which is difficult to perform such difficult actions as lifting, landing, rotating, etc., and the concept of 'skating' has not yet appeared in the 15-year inheritance process of Jingxi shadow puppetry. But we are confident and hope to make a breakthrough. We downloaded a figure skating video and compared it repeatedly, and then four or five actors continued to run in, train, and put a lot of effort into some action design, and finally made these Winter Olympic events more realistic. Recalling the creative process, Wang Xi, the inheritor of the "Haidian Intangible Cultural Heritage" Jingxi Shadow Puppet Theater and the director of the Beijing Dragon In heaven shadow theater, was quite emotional, she said that on the one hand, the team members strived for excellence, overcame many difficulties, and realized the innovation of shadow puppet art, on the other hand, everyone also deeply felt the hardships and difficulties in athlete training.
In fact, this is not the first time that Wang Xi has made shadow puppets related to the Beijing Winter Olympics.
On the morning of February 7, Wang Xi posted a small video of making shadow puppet ice piers in the WeChat circle of friends, accompanied by such a paragraph: "The opening of the Winter Olympics, the ice piers are out of stock, and there is a queue in Beijing to buy the ice piers, since you can't buy them, then make one yourself!" Drawings, skins, engravings, dyeing, stitching... Shadow Puppet Ice Dun is cute. In the video, through Wang Xi's skillful technique, in a short while, a playful and cute, vivid shadow version of the ice pier is ready! Wang Xi told reporters: "For us, it is easy to make a shadow puppet, before making, we need to draw a draft, draw its body, and then cut the same size of the skin according to each part of it, and then put the skin in the water to soak it, align its drawing with the skin, and then start carving." After the carving is finished, start dyeing, and the last step is to nail its arms and legs to its body so that the cute ice pier can play with us! It is understood that Wang Xi learned after watching the news that the ice pier was loved by everyone, and even the queue could not buy it, so he came up with the idea of making it himself, so that everyone could better understand the ice pier. #Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics # #相约海淀冬奥有我 #
