From February 21st to 22nd, 2025, the dance drama "Tiangong Kaiwu" jointly sponsored by Shanghai Jingying Culture Media (Group) Co., Ltd. and Changsha Meixihu Poly Grand Theater Management Co., Ltd. will be held at Meixi Lake International in Changsha, Hunan Performed at the Grand Theater of the Cultural Arts Center. The first round of ticket sales for the show is scheduled to start at 12:48 on December 2, 2024.
The dance drama "Tiangong Kaiwu" is based on the Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing and his book "Tiangong Kaiwu" as the theme. Through dance art, it shows the wisdom and creativity of the ancient Chinese working people, as well as Song Yingxing's deep national spirit. The whole play uses chapters such as "rushing for exams", "writing books" and "mountains and rivers" as clues, depicting Song Yingxing's experience of studying ancient Chinese science and technology after failing the scientific examination six times. Through the combination of dance, video and modern technology, the play makes "Tiangong Kaiwu", an encyclopedia that records ancient science and technology and crafts, "alive".
As a "phenomenal" dance drama, "Tiangong Kaiwu" has been performed for 25 times in 11 cities, with a comprehensive attendance rate of over 90%, a cumulative audience of more than 30,000, and a network exposure of more than 400 million. The play has won widespread praise from the audience for its top-notch cast and stunning stage effects. At this Changsha performance, the audience will have the opportunity to experience the shocking performance of the "Tiangong Men's Group" up close.
"Tiangong Kaiwu" not only demonstrates Song Yingxing's scientific achievements, but also deeply reveals his pride and sentiment of "dare to be different". On his way to the six imperial examinations, Song Yingxing inspected production sites and handicraft workshops, and developed a strong interest in handicraft industry, agriculture and technology. Deeply aware of the harm brought to the country by the imperial examination scholars in the Ming Dynasty who "talked about life and did not study pragmatically", he resolutely gave up the idea of the imperial examination and turned to scientific research, becoming a "retrograde man" of the times. This spirit is still revelatory today.
In terms of stage presentation, the dance drama "Tiangong Kaiwu" shows the ultimate Ming Dynasty aesthetics. The stage design refers to a large number of historical materials, and through the study of Ming Dynasty scrolls, architecture, utensils, costumes and other materials, the aesthetic characteristics of "big, clever and simple" are summarized. The costume design in the play refers to the costume characteristics of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and incorporates the pattern elements of pottery unearthed in Jiangxi Wannian, which combines original vitality and industry characteristics. The music creation collects a large amount of original sound materials from labor, which is simple and vivid, creating a rich atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, the dance drama "Tiangong Kaiwu" also uses film techniques to integrate into drama, and presents a shocking stage effect through the combination of realism and freehand brushwork, virtuality and reality. The double-layer gauze curtains at the front and back of the stage symbolize Song Yingxing's retrograde space in the world, integrating the real scene of the stage with the illusion and sense of substitution of the movie, bringing a unique audio-visual experience to the audience.
The dance drama "Tiangong Kaiwu" is not only an artistic masterpiece, but also a great attempt at cultural inheritance. It allows the audience to have an in-depth understanding of ancient Chinese science and technology culture and national spirit while appreciating the art of dance. Interested audiences can purchase tickets through the Jingying Culture WeChat applet "Jingfan Network Technology", the official ticket office of the Meixi Lake International Culture and Art Center Grand Theater, Damai, Maoyan, Ticket Planet and other platforms.
