Liangshan is not cold. This is Pu Cunxin’s first impression of Daliang Mountain. The warm sun in winter and the bonfires in the Yi Village were the first time he came to Qionghai in Xichang 6 years ago. In these years, Pu Cunxin has never been absent. As the first initiator and artistic director of the Daliangshan Theater Festival, he has witnessed the festival from scratch. This year, Pu Cunxin was absent from the opening ceremony of the drama festival for the first time because he was performing in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places with the Beijing People's Art Theater "Under the Red Flag". The two-day schedule was also extremely tight. "The drama festival is not only different every year, but even different every day." , but the only thing that remains unchanged is that it opens on the day of the Beginning of Winter, which is the clearest message that the theater festival sends to the world every year. After that, it opens its doors and looks forward to meeting the audience unexpectedly. "

"Little" theater festival. has a big wish

This "small" theater festival in western China in the eyes of Pu Cunxin has a big wish: to look at the world. "For this opening performance "Star Return" we will try to invite foreign directors to do it. A different one from the usual song and dance party The performance, with the support of the International Theater Association and the Chinese Theater Association, as well as the help of local funds, gave the director free creative space to cooperate with local actors in Daliang Mountain, expressing his impression of the place from his perspective, and achieving a cross-cultural exchange. ."

Regarding this stage play created by a contemporary artist from Samoa, Pu Cunxin also heard some viewers saying that they could not understand it. In his view, “It is not a conventional play. We cannot just face it with our own perceptions. For this world, you also need to adapt to the world's culture and have an adaptable mentality, to be tolerant and tolerant. Let others express it. This land and the landscape and climate are our attitude in organizing drama festivals. It is enough that the drama takes place in Liangshan, there is no good or bad. "

Walking out of Liangshan with confidence

On November 23, this Daliangshan Theater Festival will be held. The customized play will come out of Liangshan, bringing with it The confident expression unique to the Yi culture was invited to participate in the Carthage International Theater Festival. Pu Cunxin said, "In the days in Daliang Mountain, we put braised pork in our mouths every day and walked toward the sun every day. This expression and this way of life are confidence , just like the leisurely life we ​​saw in a small town in Spain. Today, I heard international guests say that they think this place is better than the Mediterranean. It is a very relaxing place, just like skiing comes to mind when mentioning Switzerland. This impression is a logo and a business card when mentioning western China in the future. You can think of Daliang Mountain. Perhaps China is a place with Daliang Mountain. If you Everyone can have this impression, and it is also a kind of communication for us. "

"The most important thing is to continue the drama festival."

In just two days, Pu Cunxin listened to the "Drama Dialogue". He participated in "Evening Talks Around the Fireplace", watched plays, and accepted interviews. His recent busy schedule has also left his body not in the best condition, but he claimed to be the helper of Li Ting, the founder and executive director of the theater festival. "She is doing it." To implement, we will communicate on the phone or hold a preparatory meeting in Beijing. I may not do specific things, but I am willing to participate. We sponsors have no contract income, no paper contracts, only letters of appointment, but we are willing to get together and do things. "

After six years, the drama festival is still in the development stage. "The drama festival is of course necessary to bring changes to the local area, but it has not yet reached this stage of allowing mountain people living in the mountains to come down and buy tickets to watch the theatre. It is also a change to make audiences from all over the world, especially young people, willing to come here. I believe that after several years of training, public information on the Internet can search for the Daliangshan Theater Festival. Young people have their own choices and interests. Slowly Take your time. The apples and potatoes here make us want to take some back in our trolley suitcases. Even delicious food can be a reason to come to Daliang Mountain. It doesn’t matter why you come here. What matters is that we must continue the drama festival. "Pu Cunxin said.
