"Time flies so fast, looking back, we had the dream to bring the villagers from the fields to the stage, because we wanted to pass on the traditional cultural spirit of all ethnic groups." Recently, the famous dance artist Yang Liping announced in a video about her 50 years of dance history that the performance team of "Yunnan Yingxiang" was temporarily disbanded.
The large-scale original ecological song and dance collection "Yunnan Yingxiang" is a classic work created by Yang Liping as the artistic director and chief choreographer, which is newly integrated and reconstructed with original original local songs and ethnic dances, and recreates the rich ethnic customs of Yunnan, which is a stage masterpiece with both traditional beauty and modern power. "Impression of Yunnan", which has been performed for 19 years and performed more than 7,000 times offline, has long become a memory and a symbol of Countless audiences for Yunnan.
Yang Liping said that "Yunnan Yingxiang" encountered SARS when it premiered in 2003, and on the day the curtain opened, there was no audience in the audience, "so we had to be forced to disband the team, and the children returned to their villages... 19 years later, what I never expected was that because of the epidemic, we once again lost the stage. ”
Yang Liping admitted that disbanding the dance troupe was a helpless move: "I don't want to give up, I know that many people have more difficulties than us... Without the stage, we really can't go on. ”
In the video, Yang Liping revealed that she is trying new media channels, and this year's new work "Tiger Howling" tries to find a possibility through another art form, in the absence of a stage, "with the help of network means to spread, hoping to bring new experience and thinking to everyone." ”
