Thirty years later, a shocking fall will be staged again-the innovative opera "Desire City and Country" is coming to Tianjin

"City of Desire"

The most shocking scene of

Ao Shuzheng fell from the height of the city wall because of ten thousand arrows

fell from the height of the city wall

Wu Xingguo must fall from the high platform of 2.5 meters

army horses neighed, and in the rhythm of anxious pipes, the wind was blowing, chasing shadows, and the forest moved on the stage.

The music stopped abruptly, and Ao Shuzheng, who was lost in the forest because he couldn't get out of the call of power, stood on the edge of the cliff, and finally hit the arrow. Both pain and regret were struggling and terrifying faces, "You... You still don’t keep your posts! Are you still...what about writing?"

Ao Shuzheng gave out a final roar of pain, and turned around to cheer up. The road of helplessness has come to an end, and death has come. He drew the arrow under his ribs. , A backflip, Ao Shuzheng fell.

Thirty years ago, this beautiful pendant

Ao Shuzheng shocked the depressed Peking Opera stage in Taipei at that time. The auditorium was like a pot of boiled multigrain porridge. Controversy, doubt and praise throbbed in applause like rice grains. :

"Is this Peking Opera?"

"Where is Shengdan Jing Mo Chou acted like this?"

"Of course this is Peking Opera. This is the best drama in Taiwan in 30 years." Well-known film director Li Xing said so.

Thirty years ago, this deep fall, gave rise to a new beginning in Taiwan Peking Opera, an innovative project written in the history of Peking Opera. However, the 33-year-old Wu Xingguo wanted to follow both tradition and recklessness. A path of no return.

30 years later, the most breathtaking moment of waiting for

"City of Desire" is the scene of "Uncle Ao's defeat, falling from a high platform, and falling to the ground". From the moment he stood on the high platform, time condensed and paused, as if it had been thirty years old, it seemed that everyone was waiting for this moment. The moment of landing can be the completion of the play, the display of personal skills, perhaps even more mixed with our expectation and care for Wu Xingguo, an actor and artist who can hardly breathe and stop.

We all know that thirty years is enough for a person to move from adulthood to middle-aged. Since "Desire City and Country" is not the premiere, so familiar or admired audiences know that there will be this stage; as the audience, the mood is looking forward to and afraid of being hurt-we certainly look forward to and believe that Wu Xingguo can perform perfectly. But also afraid that he would be injured.

Wu Xingguo said that even if he is diagnosed with osteoporosis by a doctor, his long-term practice habits are enough to face this difficult challenge. He said:

"As long as I am physically strong, there is no fear. I am a Peking opera actor. On stage, my mood is more relaxed than anywhere else."

is an indispensable symbol of

. What I can’t help thinking about is that with Wu Xingguo’s years of performance experience and aesthetic development, I can actually find many ways to replace and adapt. For example, with his personal performance intuition and talent, he changed many stages of the play to resolve the crisis of the performance form; but he has never been able to abandon this translation and this fall-what cannot give up is really his persistence. , Hard work and willful .

Therefore, he is not to please and please the audience, , but the heroism of this turn, the desolation of this fall, which symbolizes the completion of "Sex and the City" .

Perhaps, this flip can no longer be turned back to the past, and can no longer be as calm as in the video; but in the years, it has condensed the "meaning of the times" that "Desire City" does not need to return.
