Original title: Dance drama Zhu: The real pain of tearing the beauty of lightness

The dance drama crested ibis takes crested ibis, an international rare and protected bird, as the theme, which shows the same life relationship between human beings and nature, environment and various creatures in the process of modernization and urbanization of modern society. At first glance, I can't help feeling suspicious. How can such a complicated and heavy topic be presented in a dance drama famous for its aestheticism? A few days ago at the Shanghai Grand Theatre, I had to admire the dance drama Zhu Xi, which was originally created by the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe.

Zhu is divided into two parts. The first part shows the beautiful picture of simple villagers living in harmony with elegant Zhu in the farming era. The female dancer wears red shoes, short in front and long in back, and white and orange, which vividly shows Zhu's beautiful shape. When dancing, dancers have a unique dance style, with the rhythm and beauty of classical ballet and China folk dance, which vividly shows Zhu's reserve and nobility, especially his delicate movements such as light head and rotation. The duet between the immortal and the woodcutter is affectionate and romantic. Among them, the woodcutter imitates the details of the fairy dance, which makes people smile. From the initial clumsy imitation to the final dexterous dance, the woodcutter and the immortal danced in harmony, which reflected the harmony and friendship between man and Zhu. The sincere feelings between different creatures have gone far beyond.

In the next part of the dance drama, these ethereal scenes suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the background of the stage was transformed into a deserted ruin. In the dim light, a group of dancers in gray are dancing modern dance. They look dull, move mechanically, and even cover their mouths and noses with crossed arms, which immediately reminds the audience of their harsh environment and bad air. Very modern atmosphere, depressing gloomy atmosphere, trance, people have an illusion, as if crossing into another dance drama, but there is a feather floating in the air, which is quickly thrown away by passers-by, making people worry about Zhu. At this time, the reappearance of "Zhu Xian", the chest of "Yu Yi" has changed from pink orange to gray black, and the original elegant and light dance has become anxious and heavy.

From the first part to the next, directly switching from ancient times to modern times, the confrontation of two diametrically opposite stage effects greatly enhanced the tension of the play and made people feel torn. Just entering the next movie, the audience is still thinking about the leisurely dance of "lucky birds" in their minds, but what is presented in front of them is the death of Zhu Xi after the destruction of his living environment. Their lives have been tragically strangled, which cannot but cause real pain to people who are suffering from the consequences of destroying the environment. In the second half of the next part, Zhu became a specimen in the museum, and all the students came here to observe it. The narration of this part of the scene is a bit abrupt, but it also reflects the director's intention to cut the perspective directly into reality. At the end of the dance drama, crested ibis was reborn, which means that crested ibis, which is on the verge of extinction today, has a good omen of species recovery, and the beautiful scenery reproduced on the stage is more precious. If the ballet "Zhu" stops at the beauty of the first part, it can only reach a pleasing aesthetic shallow layer. Fortunately, with the reality that the beauty of the next film is torn, people can reflect deeply.

Simple and simple dance design, freehand dance vocabulary and strong visual impact in arrangement, dance drama highlights a profound theme with its unique artistic charm: calling for eternal treasures for the dead. At the same time, it is precisely because of the emphasis on artistic conception and rich literary connotation that Zhu's light beauty has a deeper internal support.
