Bound world
The world is a duet, with one dancer dressed as modern and the other dressed as ancient. Through the different textures of the two bodies, it shows the contradictory, twisted, harmonious and unified relationship between modern people and modern society, spiritual civilization and social consciousness, and spirit and flesh, and contains the philosophical thought that all things need appropriate scales and boundaries for their survival and development. On the stage, male dancers are dancing lightly but twisted, like the boundary between yin and yang, and also like the boundary between self and superego. As director Gao Yanjinzi said, "If you break through the siege in your heart, you can enter a borderless realm."
As a dance with greater freedom than folk dance and ballet, will it be easier to create modern dance? In Gao Yanjinzi's view, this art form with greater freedom is in a bipolar state, which will be easier than the first two, but it will be the most difficult to do well. "Everyone's daily movements can be regarded as modern dance, so simple, even walking can be a dance movement, but it is not just a simple and beautiful movement to do well and let people remember and be moved by common things. Can be done. "
