Characteristics of stage play

In this top dancer's performance on the same stage, the artists all interpret their roles with deep foundation. Young talents in the dance world emerge one after another. They are close to tradition, not subversive, not absurd and not nihilistic. They turn tradition into a perspective and aesthetics. Their emotions are contemporary and their ideas are contemporary. I see the possibility of the rise and development of the dance industry.

The performance attracted many audiences who had complex feelings about China's traditional culture, classical masterpieces and new expressions of oriental aesthetics. Men, women and children came to watch the performance. With the joint efforts of directors Li Xing, Li Chao and artists, the national dance drama Dream of Red Mansions has successfully realized the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional themes, and conveyed the traditional culture and aesthetic mood of China in the form of dance drama, which is contemporary and very in line with the tastes of contemporary people.
