"Lily", adapted from Ru Zhijuan's novel of the same name, written by Wang Anyi, and directed by director Wang Ge, officially started production yesterday. This original dance drama embodies the efforts of two generations of Shanghai writers and the good relationship between mother and daughter. It is a new red-themed work created by Shanghai Ballet to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Wang Anyi felt a lot as she was the screenwriter of a dance drama for the first time and adapted it from her mother's work. She bluntly said that this novel, written by her mother in her youth, is now brought to the stage by Shanghai Ballet actors with an average age of less than 25 years old. "It is a big challenge", but she is "very confident" because it has been a novel since the original novel. A romantic "youth drama". The story of the dance drama begins on the Mid-Autumn Festival night of 1946, when the People's Liberation Army troops attacking Hai'an were about to launch a general offensive. The young correspondent received the order to send the female soldiers of the art troupe to the forward rescue station. At the aid station, everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle. The correspondent passed by the new wife's home with the task of borrowing a quilt, and wanted to ask her to borrow the new quilt covered with lilies, but was rejected. The war started and blood came. The correspondent went to the battlefield, while the new wife decided to stay at the rescue station with the female soldiers of the art troupe. The stretcher team sent back the wounded on the front line one after another, and a familiar figure appeared among them... Once we said goodbye, the goodbye was forever separated by life and death. The new quilt covered with lilies that had not yet been borrowed, gently covering the young correspondent.
can be called the "gold medal" team in domestic dance drama creation. The main creative lineup is very strong. In addition to choreographer Wang Ge, it also includes composer Yang Fan, stage designer Qin Liyun, lighting designer Xiao Lihe, costume designer Cui Xiaodong and other famous names. Wang Ge told reporters that the dance drama focuses on the emotional collision and exchanges between people during the war. Through the intersection of the three main characters, the correspondent, the new wife, and the female soldier from the art troupe, around "borrowing a quilt", it brings together the relationships between the three young people. Emotions as simple, pure, sincere, and beautiful as lilies are narrated, and the narrative of youth is used to show the unique beauty of humanity and human feelings in the war years, and to pay tribute to the noble spirit of heroic soldiers and the people who are in harmony and fight together. Xin Lili, the director of the Shanghai Ballet, said that this work follows the "noble, elegant, delicate and delicate" style of Shanghai-style ballet, fully depicts the inner emotional world of the characters, and is committed to poetically presenting the beauty of humanity and human feelings in the war years. It creates a "one-stop ballet" in the Shanghai-style style. A romantic and lyrical red-themed ballet."
