What should art be expressed?In what form should culture be passed on?
Yang Liping once again showed a bold performance style, she directly touched the actor's ** with her hands, and incorporated elements of male and female interaction into the dance.
In this **, the actor is standing in the middle almost naked, surrounded by more than a dozen beautiful actresses, all of whom are reaching out to "stroke".
Among these dozen or so beautiful actresses, some put their hands on their chests, some put their hands on their abdomen, and some gently put their hands on the base of their thighs.
There was even an audience member who directly grabbed the actor's "private parts" with his hands and "protected" him.
The actor's expression is very intriguing, is he embarrassed or not embarrassed when he stands in the middle?
It's really confusing whether the actor who is "held" can complete the performance with peace of mind.
Unbelievable, these ** look very "vulgar", and they are actually from the famous dancer Yang Liping, and it is her new work "The Rite of Spring".
Is this kind of artistic presentation reasonable?Will the audience really be able to accept it?
Apparently intolerable!Yang Liping once again became the object of ridicule - "Peacock Princess"!
In June, Yang Liping was on the hot search for "playing hooligan", although the same recipe was used, the taste was the same as always.
The actor was only dressed in flesh color ** and was naked in a public performance.
The male actor interacts closely with the female dancers throughout the performance, and even has some large-scale movements, which can easily make people have bad thoughts.
Most netizens were uncomfortable with these actions, so some speculated whether Yang Liping deliberately used bold expressions to attract attention.
However, Yang Liping didn't care about these words, she said: "The actor is naked to fit the plot, and he is willing to put down all his feathers for the sake of his beloved." ”
She also emphasized that this part of the performance is what she loves the most and is a manifestation of dedication.
Please let me see a pair of eyes that have never seen a peacock dance, is this a dehaired chicken!
The actor and actress whispered and talked closely, their chests were close together, and they writhed their bodies from time to time, which did not look like a noble peacock.
After reading it, many netizens had the idea of going to the ophthalmology department to "wash their eyes".
The Rite of Spring has not only been criticized for its costumes and movements, but its style of art has also been considered extremely eerie and terrifying.
It's not a beautiful dance drama, but more like a grand "production site", as if you have instantly traveled back to prehistoric times.
The stage is dim, the makeup is weird, and the movements are messy.
The man in the middle sat there, like a magician, while the man below lay on the ground, his arms outstretched strangely, and he didn't look like a living person at all, like a group of lifeless dolls, at the mercy of others.
It's as if an evil ghost is roaring in the netherworld!
If the situation mentioned above is acceptable, then this ** is really unbelievable, is there even the slightest connection between these actresses and noble and beautiful peacocks?
There are more than a dozen actresses in a row, their squatting posture looks very weird, as if they are crawling in the dark, and the costumes they are wearing are also very eye-catching, the colors are very bright, there is no peacock spirit at all, but like a female ghost crawling out of hell.
The lighting on the scene and the actors' fluorescent nails are impossible to ignore.
They shook their heads, wore their long hair, and then "danced wildly" on the stage, as if they had fallen into some kind of insanity.
Many people are very scared because the dance is considered "ghostly".
As a well-known dancer, Yang Liping has attracted many parents to bring their children to watch her performances, with the intention of allowing their children to receive artistic edification.
However, is such a dance drama really suitable for children?
This behavior may not only leave a vulgar impression in the child's mind, but it may also make them feel scared.
Am I spending money just to see zombies?
Yang Liping has always been committed to promoting and spreading the culture of Yunnan, but does the peacock of "Dancing Demons" really represent the culture of Yunnan?
Please don't describe Yunnan like this, Yunnan's art is not so exaggerated.
Even netizens who raise peacocks also claimed: "I have peacocks at home, they don't shake their heads, Yang Liping just borrowed animals to show her mind." ”
Xiao Ronghao used this sentence to make many netizens speechless, he believes that art comes from life but transcends life.
This is the view held by Yang Liping's apprentice.
Rather than exactly mimicking the peacock, we took some elements from it and applied it to the dance performance, so that the audience could be more sensually rich.
Are you giving the audience a pleasant sensory treat?As long as it doesn't scare them!
So, what exactly is the peacock dance?
The most famous traditional performative dance of the Dai people is the Peacock Dance, which is regarded as a "sacred bird" in the minds of the Dai people, symbolizing kindness, wisdom, beauty and happiness.
Legend has it that more than 1,000 years ago, the leaders of the Dai nationality loved peacocks very much, so they imitated the posture of peacocks, and after being processed by folk artists, they were handed down to form a peacock dance.
Yang Liping's peacock dance is presented in a terrifying and weird form, is this a little inappropriate?In the hearts of the Dai people, the peacock is regarded as a very sacred and elegant animal.
Has Yang Liping lost her original purpose?
Everyone knows that Yang Liping has a soft spot for peacock dance, she is willing to skip rice for more than ten years in order to dance, and she keeps her nails to 5 cm long, and even gives up marriage and childbirth in order to pursue a dance career.
Her professionalism is definitely enough to go down in history.
She claims that such a choreography is entirely for artistic purposes!
Is it only through such extreme forms that art can be expressed?
She is also an acclaimed dancer, on a par with Yang Liping, albeit equally dedicated.
Tai Lihua was the dancer who performed at the Spring Festival Gala, and together with her partner, she presented "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands," a dance that has become popular in China and around the world.
People are not only amazed by the performances of the actors in this show, but also fascinated by the integration of art and culture with traditional Chinese cultural elements!
They differ from others in that all of their members are deaf and mute.
It is not easy for ordinary people to learn Xi to dance, and for Tai Lihua and her team, the situation is even worse, because they can't hear the rhythm of ** at all.
Tai Lihua, the head of the China Disabled People's Art Troupe and vice chairman of the China Special Arts Association, is an outstanding Chinese female dancer.
At the age of 15, she joined the Disabled Art Troupe and became the lead dancer, while she was already deaf by the age of two. However, what many people may not know is that Tai Lihua also performed the peacock dance in "Spirit of the Sparrow".
With her head held high, she gracefully showed off her posture and flowing dress, and stretched out her arms like a real peacock, which made countless people fall in love with her.
Compared with Yang Liping's "peacock" posture and this peacock's posture, it is obvious who is more graceful!
Many people on the Internet are shouting: "This peacock is the ideal peacock in our hearts!"Yang Liping, you can rest assured!”
Tai Lihua's flawless performance in "Spirit of the Sparrow" attracted many audiences, and her poster was even hung in the corridor of Carnegie ** Hall, which is the only Chinese still.
Yang Liping and Tai Lihua both became famous in one fell swoop because of their "Peacock Dance", and they started the same, but now Yang Liping's series of "sassy operations" are difficult for many people to understand, causing her reputation to continue to decline.
Although Tai Lihua rarely performs on stage now, in the hearts of the audience, she is still the beautiful Thousand-armed Guanyin, the elegant peacock princess.
What is art?Some people believe that people's perception of beauty is art, but everyone has a unique understanding of "beauty".
For example, Yang Liping, who now thinks that "weird painting style", "strange movements" and "naked body" are beautiful, but most of the audience still prefers her early peacock dance.
Yang Liping believes that this kind of "peacock dance" belongs to art, and the criticism of ordinary people is because they cannot understand this "art".
It's hard to say whether art needs to be unique, but why does art always have to be "incomprehensible"?
Yang Liping brought the peacock dance to the people of the whole country with her own strength, and it can be said that she is the one who opened the peacock dance.
With "Spirit of the Sparrow", she became a legend in the Chinese dance world, presenting an artistic feast to the audience.
40 years ago, Yang Liping performed an elf-like dance vividly with her magical expressiveness, and her smart posture and graceful dance posture won the unanimous praise of thousands of audiences, making her a representative of peacock dance in one fell swoop.
She dedicated everything to the Peacock Dance, believing that as long as she could dance, she would keep dancing!It can almost be said that she gave everything for the peacock dance.
Isn't this elegant art form bad?Why do you have to choose a different way to create art that is difficult for others to understand?
The people's love for high art and noble aesthetic concepts, such as Yang Liping's early peacock dance, Tai Lihua's "Spirit of the Sparrow" and "Guanyin with a Thousand Hands" are good examples.
Most of the audience does not require the show to be profound and connotative, but pleasing to the eye and beautiful are the most basic requirements!
After all, it can't make people feel like they're in a horror movie!
The way of cultural communication and artistic expression should be positive, not incomprehensible and eerie like "The Rite of Spring".
Although Yang Liping's heart is kind to spread Yunnan culture, and her innovative spirit is commendable, she should also pay attention to the audience's thoughts.
After all, no matter how good the work is, it must be accepted by the audience in the end. If the audience does not approve, even if the author tries hard, it will be in vain!
We need to find more appropriate ways to spread the good traditional culture and show its art, and not let them be ridiculed by the crowd again!
I hope that artists can consider the feelings of the audience when creating works, and only works that deeply touch the hearts of the audience can win popularity and be passed on for a long time!
At the very least, it should be understood by everyone, so that it can be regarded as an excellent national culture!
