Nandu News Reporter Li Chunhua There was a roar and the horse neighed. On August 1st and 2nd, the dance drama "Cavalry" produced by Inner Mongolia Art Theater and starring the Inner Mongolia Art Theater Song and Dance Troupe was performed at the Guangzhou Grand Theater. After the performance, the audience cheered enthusiastically and applauded thunderously. Many viewers expressed that they were moved to tears by the bravery of the soldiers and the loyalty of the horses during the performance.
This dance drama, which comes from the north of the motherland and is full of powerful aesthetics, uses the rough yet delicate dance vocabulary of Northern Xinjiang to lead the Guangzhou audience to the prairie of Inner Mongolia in one second and experience the vastness of the grassland and the simple and enthusiastic people of Northern Xinjiang.
The dance drama "Cavalry" is the first large-scale original dance drama with the theme of cavalry in the history of Chinese stage art. It tells a work that reflects the turning point of the times and the close connection between personal destiny choices and the destiny of the country; a work that reflects the transcendence of man and horse. A work of friendship; a work that contains the beauty of human nature, the harmony of all things, and the vision of human peace; a work that inspires contemporary people to pay tribute to the loyal and brave people's cavalry.
The play is divided into six acts. The first half is "The Return of the Man", "The Sorrow on the Grassland" and "Farewell to the Army", and the second half is "The Love of the War Horse", "Hero's Tears" and "The Soul of the Cavalry". It tells the story of the Mongolian youth Chaolu who will fight against the enemy at a historical juncture. Personal choice is closely connected with national choice. The story of joining the Inner Mongolia People's Cavalry and fighting for the liberation of all China. On the battlefield, Chaolu was not afraid of sacrifice and fought bravely against the enemy; after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he chose to put aside his glory and return to his hometown loyal to his inner yearning for peace.
The dance drama "Cavalry" was created by the Inner Mongolia Art Theater by inviting well-known national and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region artists and cavalry revolution historians. It shows the Inner Mongolia People's Cavalry's infinite loyalty to the party and their courageous sacrifice for the country. It won the first prize. The 17th China Culture and Art Government Award "Wenhua Award"; the 16th "Five One Project" Award for Spiritual Civilization Construction and many other honors.
In this round of tour, the Inner Mongolia Art Theater Song and Dance Troupe is also fully prepared. "Whether they performed in Beijing and Shanghai before, or they came to Nanning, Guangzhou and other places this year, they all attach great importance to the quality and standard of the performance. This is the reason why dance dramas can maintain their artistic vitality. This year's May Day holiday has not yet ended.
