On the afternoon of May 12, in the green Xujiahui Park, a special performance of Zhou Zhou Yan carefully planned by Tianlin Street in Xuhui District was sung on the stage. On the occasion of Mother's Day, the citizens in the past stopped by with respect for their mothers and love for their motherland to witness the Chinese Mother's Day theatrical performance with the theme of "Humanities Convergence and Walking to Beauty".
The dance "The People Are the Mountains" of the Tianlin Community Line Dance Team kicked off the performance with a passionate melody and moving dance posture, and the dance showed the love and lofty praise for the great motherland. The Red Maple Choir affectionately conveyed their gratitude and praise for maternal love through the male and female vocal duet "Spring Breeze 100,000 Miles" and the female vocal group singing "Daylily Flower", so that the audience could feel the warmth and strength of maternal love.
In addition to the singing performance, excerpts from Shanghai Qishe's modern Peking Opera "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" also brought the audience the charm of the quintessence of China. Shanghai Qishe, as the first box office in China composed of Qipai ticket holders, has been committed to inheriting and carrying forward the art of Qipai. The actors' exquisite skills and sonorous singing won bursts of applause from the audience.
During the performance, various programs were wonderful, but the most impressive thing for the audience was the original short story "Friends of Life and Death" brought by the Shanghai Wu Yun Ping Dan Troupe. Since its establishment in 2002, the "Wu Nong Yayun" Pingtan Project has always invited high-level teams to provide high-quality performances for community audiences and meet the needs of Pingtan enthusiasts for Pingtan art and culture.
Dressed in traditional costumes and holding a three-stringed and pipa, the actors tell the touching red story of the era with their unique playing and singing skills. Their emotional performances brought the audience into an artistic world full of emotion. In the audience, there are many senior fans of bomb evaluation, and Li Jun is one of them. He told reporters that he usually loves to listen to and watch plays, and likes to learn and discuss the art of Pingtan with a group of like-minded theater friends, "This Pingtan performance is really exciting!" The actors' superb playing and singing skills and sincere emotional expression made me feel as if I had traveled back in time to that era and personally felt the deep friendship between revolutionary comrades. I was deeply moved by this immersive art experience, and it also made me love the art of Pingtan even more. ”
The performance of the Tianlin Community Red Maple Dance Team is also particularly eye-catching. The team, which was named one of the "Top 100 Citizen Dance Troupes" and won the title of three-star mass cultural team in Xuhui District, showed its unique creativity and exquisite skills with the dance "After the Rain" and the male vocal group singing "Hometown Gaze". The fashion show "The Most Beautiful China • Colorful Chapter" of the Red Maple Fashion Team brought a visual feast to the audience, showing the charm and style of women. Finally, the mixed chorus of the Tianlin Community Red Maple Choir "Let the World Praise You" pushed the performance to the climax.
