Writer Bai Xianyong presided over the production of the youth version of the Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion"
The youth version of Kunqu opera "Peony Pavilion" is produced by the famous writer Bai Xianyong, together with artists from many places, according to the aesthetics of the 21st century, maintaining the abstract freehand of Kunqu opera, with a simple and complex aesthetic tradition, using the concepts of modern theater, passing down the classics in front of people in a youthful and beautiful form, reproducing a love story that spans life and death.
Youth version of "Peony Pavilion" has continued to perform nearly 400 times so far, has toured more than 30 colleges and universities at home and abroad, attracting hundreds of thousands of young student audiences, set off an unprecedented wave of theater watching, in 2006, the youth version of "Peony Pavilion" toured the United States twelve times, the response is unprecedentedly enthusiastic, by the media said that since Mei Lanfang went to the United States to perform in 1930, Chinese traditional opera has the largest impact on the American intellectual circles.
The master creative team has brought the youth version of "Peony Pavilion" to life
Bai Xianyong, a famous writer who was destined to form a "Kunqu love affair", together with Hua Wei, Zhang Shuxiang and Xin Yiyun, adapted the original script of Tang Xianzu' original work, completely inherited the original words in Tang Xianzu's original work, and after careful combing, created a youth version of "Peony Pavilion" with "dream love", "human ghost love" and "human love" as the core, and used modern methods to interpret this classic love that loved "dead and alive".
"Super producer" Bai Xianyong as the planner and director, the famous Kunqu opera master Chinese drama plum blossom award winners Wang Shiyu and Zhang Jiqing as the director, the well-known Taiwanese film director Wang Tong as the art director and costume design, Ren Yongxin and Lin Kehua for the original stage and lighting design, master team, to create a modern aesthetic concept of the youth version of "Peony Pavilion", rejuvenated.
Youth inheritance, so that Kunqu opera from the inside out of the real "youth"
When the classics are fading, it is not only the opera performance itself that is lost, but the inheritance of the entire culture. Kunqu Opera, which was listed by the United Nations as "Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage of Mankind" as early as 2001, has been facing the endangered situation that "there are more actors on stage than in the audience, and more than 70% of the audience is elderly". In the face of modern young audiences, how to integrate the aesthetics of classical theater with modern theater and let young people enter the theater is the primary problem.
"I believe that Kunqu opera is an ancient drama, it has a strong vitality, so we must summon the youthful life of Kunqu opera back, which is the first purpose of our play." The second reason is that "Peony Pavilion" itself is a play that celebrates youth, loves, and life. The heroine is 16 years old, the male protagonist is 20 years old, and he has had such a beautiful dream, and the dream meeting is completely a song of youth. I think the young man can agree with him because he is in love, very romantic. Middle-aged viewers can reminisce after watching because everyone has a segment. After the elderly see it, it is reminiscence, very far away, and they have also been young. Bai Xianyong said so.
Youthful faces, strength to perform. The whole drama creates a "young lineup", and urges the senior artists of the Suzhou Kunqu "Chuan" and "Succession" generations to personally inherit and train a group of young Kunqu opera successor actors of the "Little Orchid Class". The whole play, regardless of the starring role, supporting roles, and dragon sets, is all played by young actors, and the plot is vivid, streamlined and romantic, and the appearance and stage effects are both online. Use the performances of young actors to attract more young people to love the ancient Kunqu art, and summon thousands of young audiences back to the theater to accept the baptism of classical Chinese aesthetics.
