Artist鈥檚 journey inspires dance drama
Print Edition
“lotus” is a dance drama inspired by the artisans of Dunhuang’s Mogao Grottoes.
The story centers on a clay modeler who creates a painted statue for the Dunhuang caves after perceiving the beauty and sincerity of the Lotus (a sacred image in Buddhist poetry).
Choreographer Zhao Xiaogang borrows the exquisite body language of the Dunhuang wall murals and Buddhist statuary to tell the story of this clay modeler’s journey of cultivation and learning, searching for the origin of life, as he carries his sculpture great distances across land and sea. It celebrates humanity’s persistent search for true love, goodness and cherished values.
The choreographer uses modern dance to express the clay modeler’s vision of art as “coming from life but exceeding life.”
Established in 2009, Xianwuren dance theater was co-founded by choreographers Zhao Xiaogang and Zhang Yunfeng and specializes in Chinese-inspired dance, performances, arts and cultural exchanges.
Xianwuren gathers compelling professional dance artists to participate in its performances, and has independently produced a number of large-scale dance dramas, and more than forty dance pieces.
