Xi Shi makes a return to the city stage with a fresh interpretation
Print Edition
A dance drama based on the story of renowned Chinese beauty Xi Shi during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) will be staged at the Shanghai International Dance Center on January 23-24.
Depicting the legendary life of Xi Shi, one of the four ancient beauties of China, it will be the 2.0 version of the production that premiered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, in June 2023 and has since toured more than 20 cities across the country.
Since ancient times, Xi Shi has symbolized beauty and been reinterpreted. She has inspired many poems and works and has become a spiritual symbol in traditional Chinese culture.
This time, the dance drama “Xi Shi” modernizes a classic. Against the backdrop of Wu-Yue warfare and Xi Shi’s legendary life, it deconstructs the famous beauty’s turbulent life and explores female growth and transformation.
