The scene of the performance of "Tinder"
According to the main creative team, the plot line of "Tinder" is mainly concentrated in the most difficult period of the revolution before the Guangzhou Uprising. The prototype of the protagonist in the play is Ye Duohui, a revolutionary martyr born in Daojiao. It is worth mentioning that "Tinder" is different from the perspective of many Cantonese opera works, this drama does not depict too many big people, but concentrates almost all the pen and ink to describe the growth and transformation of ordinary people. The male protagonist Ye Duohui used his revolutionary spirit to ignite the "fire" in the hearts of his father and wife, so that the people around him changed from opposing the revolution to actively supporting the revolution and devoting themselves to the revolution. Although the whole drama depicts small people, it also shows the mark of the big era through the fate of these small people.
In order to be closer to the historical facts, the main creative team went to Dongguan many times to interview, search for the real historical materials of Ye Duohui, and on this basis, created the script of "Tinder". In terms of artistic achievements, "Tinder" also has the innovative characteristics of modern Cantonese opera. This Cantonese opera not only has a rich singing voice, but also combines the atmosphere and aesthetic stage structure, adopts fashionable lighting and even introduces the elements of symphony, which can meet the appreciation needs of audiences with different preferences in different dimensions.
