鈥楲ady White Snake鈥 to visit New York
Print Edition
A revised version of Shanghai Grand Theater Creative Center鈥檚 dance drama 鈥淟ady White Snake鈥 will be presented to overseas audiences in July at New York鈥檚 Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.
With Shanghai-born ballerina Tan Yuanyuan the artistic director, the production was created in 2022 by an international team, including choreographer Edwaard Liang, borrowing inspiration from Chinese folk tale 鈥淭he Legend of the White Snake.鈥
According to director Zhou Ke, this revised version adjusts the plot in the second half, discussing topics such as self-awakening and self-acceptance from a more feminist perspective.
Also, more group dance choreography has been arranged to enhance the presentation of the protagonists鈥 psychological changes.
鈥淲hen performing abroad, we target foreign audiences who are interested in Chinese culture, and Chinese people living overseas,鈥 said Zhou.
鈥淥ur dance drama combines ballet with Chinese classical dance, which is a new attempt in the dance world,鈥 she said. 鈥淭his is a dialog between the two sexes, a dialog between rules and freedom, and also a dialogue between the East and the West.鈥
Last week, two casts 鈥 Moon and Luck 鈥 took turns to present three performances of the latest production to local audiences at Shanghai Grand Theater.
The Moon group included the original dancers 鈥 Liaoning Ballet principal dancer Ao Dingwen and Shanghai Opera House Dance Ensemble鈥檚 principal dancers Tan Yimei and Song Yu.
