Inspired by "The Earth", the concert includes Mahler's Song of the Earth and Stravinsky's Worship of the Earth (The First Part of the Festival of Spring), a dialogue between two works, two dancers and two musicians spanning a century. Teacher Yang Liping specially brought "Spring Festival" to Qingdao Music Week. The new edition of "The Rebirth of the Earth" made its debut at the Concert Hall of the West Coast Art Museum, hoping to bring a different kind of musical expression to the audience in Qingdao, and use musical diversification to explore the ecological relationship between human beings and the individual's inner and all things in the current era. The two top dancers of the Peacock Modern Dance Company, Da Zhu and Jin Hua, will perform on the spot, using Yang Liping-style dance to interpret the budding, awakening, reincarnation and rebirth of life.
"I do music festivals because music is a good medicine for me, in music, I can always be quiet, calm down, deeply feel my energy, my relationship with nature, I want to share this feeling with the audience of the syllable festival, the artists of the syllable festival." 」 Tan Dun also said, "Although the syllable festival comes from the ancient concept of China, today, especially under the epidemic situation, relive nature, relive the wisdom of our ancestors, and turn him into a world-class and original concept." ”
Xihai Art Bay is a key cultural industry project in Shandong Province and Qingdao City, designed by Jean Nouvel, a Pritzker Prize winner and one of the masters of contemporary architecture, and includes 8 modules, including art museums, master workshops, high-end art institutions, related art institutions, art studios, artist communes, children's and youth creation experience bases, and sketching piers.
The West Coast Art Museum is undoubtedly a new performance venue full of artistic atmosphere, small indoor performances have high requirements for the venue, and the hardware facilities and music and dance of the West Coast Art Museum Concert Hall complement each other, bringing a new and good experience to the artists. Xihai Art Museum is committed to forming an art field based on art ecology through cross-cultural and cross-media artistic innovation and expression, building a broad communication platform to present various art forms such as classic and contemporary, fashion and design, music and performance to the public.
"Art is the productive force, and the artist is the capital of the soul, which is a mysterious relationship between the future of our Chinese nation, especially the exploration of the past, the origin of mankind, the origin of music and the future of nature." What we see tonight is the total unity of heaven and man. Tan Dun commented on the opening ceremony performance, he said that he was trembling after watching the performance, "Before watching the big symphony orchestra, it was a very far distance, tonight's close distance, I feel that Yang Liping, Da Zhu and Jinhua are three people who are a symphony orchestra, its atmosphere is even more than the symphony orchestra... It is a thing from the soul." ”
Ms. Yang Liping is very satisfied with tonight's performance, before her team performances were mostly in the theater, "This is the first time that dance and concert cooperation, the reception, piano, lighting, atmosphere and wooden decoration are very good." Although the concert is relatively concentrated compared to the theater venue, it closes the distance between the dancer and the audience, and every muscle and every expression can be seen clearly, and compared with the theater, there is no accompaniment dance, and the long performance time is a test of the dancers' physical strength."
"I like this kind of performance, very close to the audience," Da Zhu said, saying that people are trembling, and he is also trembling, which is a kind of energy convergence. "I believe that the audience can feel my breath, my heartbeat, I believe that the audience can see every inch of my muscles, every breath, every fall, he may have a huge layer of energy in his heart pushing outward" As a dancer, he said that the dancer's strength is often beyond his imagination, and for some audiences, he sees not only performance but also a baptism of the soul. "When I jump, I can feel that the audience is with me, giving me strength, and this is the first time I've felt that way." This is her first time to Qingdao, "Qingdao is very romantic for me, walking around the seaside, when the wind blows me, I want to improvise a dance, Qingdao is a very romantic place, very suitable for tourism, to vacation, to relax, to see art, give me a special romantic impression." ”
