Watch the dance drama "Canal"

October 29, Friday, cloudy

The Grand Canal-themed dance drama "Canal·River" debuted at the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater on October 29. It has been a while since the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater opened, but I have never been there, and I have a thought in mind.

A week ago, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles issued a notice to organize members to watch the performance. This is a rare opportunity, registration statistics are reported. A few days ago, I received another notice that due to the epidemic, the number of votes for each association was halved. Our association received 8 votes, and 2 members voluntarily withdrew, saying that they would leave the opportunity to those who need it. I did my duty, happened to have time, and did not miss such an opportunity.

Starting from the high-quality positioning of urban construction, after ten years of construction, many landmark buildings have been erected in the East Taihu Lake Resort area. In the Suzhou Bay Cultural Center, a high-standard grand theater that can accommodate 1,600 people at the same time, a 600-seat small theater, an IMAX hall and several movie screening halls have become a must-visit place for people to enjoy cultural life.

Suzhou Bay Cultural Center organically integrates and inherits Wujiang traditional culture, red culture and Yangtze River Delta culture, helping Suzhou develop into an international capital of culture and art, and providing strong spiritual power and support for the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta. With intellectual support, it eventually became a highlight cultural tourism project in the Yangtze River Delta Integrated Development Demonstration Zone. ——Although I have never been there, I have written about it and admired many photos.

Overlooking the Suzhou Bay Cultural Center, it looks like a flying bird, carrying the people’s yearning for a better life.

The dance drama "Yun River" exquisitely combines various classical and beautiful elements of the Jiangnan water town, vividly showing the culture, scenery, richness of Suzhou, as well as the people's delicate inner feelings towards the canal, taking everyone to *** Go to a fusion feast where ancient style and technology complement each other.

A grand canal runs through the north and south, connecting ancient and modern times. From the twilight of dawn to the setting sun, a poetic and picturesque scene of human fireworks is staged along the canal every day. The endless flowing canal water, like mother's milk, nourishes and strengthens Wujiang, allowing it to develop and fly. The Grand Canal has been the source of prosperity for thousands of years in Wujiang.

The dance drama "Yun·He" takes the prosperous Suzhou, the south of the Yangtze River and the thousand-year-old canal as the perspective, and dances on tiptoe a beautiful love story about the intersection of people, boats and rivers, and moves step by step. To the front of the stage. Through the love of a woman, the story of a river and a city is told.

The blessed land in the south of the Yangtze River, the canal Wujiang. The winding canals not only bring beautiful scenery, but also give birth to a unique canal culture.

The lights that once flickered on the canal are still bright; the songs sung in the flowing water are still beautiful.

The story begins in a dream... By the canal, the elderly Mo Niang watched "him" returning north by boat. My mood is ups and downs, and countless incarnations of myself come, drawn to the time and space when I first met "him".

The canal water was surging in the dream

Mo Niang stepped into the river and pursued it

Feeling the tension of life brought by the canal water

The boat was swimming

Mo Niang traveled through time and came to her former embroidery room

She saw her young self in front of the embroidery frame, thinking about embroidering that "him"

The best moments of her life were brought back to her mind...

The sound of her childhood hawking sounds

Mo Niang walked through the crowd in the market and met "him" on the bridge

Excited, flustered, passing by, blushing again

The wedding music sounded, and Mo Niang saw her young self

Wearing wedding clothes and sitting in the sedan chair ...

The encounter on the canal,

still made Mo Niang's heart surge with excitement in her dream

She confided her lifelong love to "him"

Mo Niang’s dream in her later years is still sweet

The boat sails on the canal, riding the waves and singing, just like in the middle of the water...

The chant of life, endless life. .

The opera hall is spectacular, but the location is a bit cramped. For an hour and a half, I had nowhere to rest my knees, it was really tiring. The pas de deux between Mo Niang and "him" is beautiful and moving, the melody is perfect, and the movement skills are top-notch, which is the highlight of the entire dance drama.
