"Yunnan Impressions" is not a sudden emergence, but an inheritance of the national soul and roots.

Program Highlights

Apart from the two major highlights of Yang Liping and Peacock Dance, what other attractive aspects of this program can set a record of more than 100 consecutive performances without defeat

Actors: 75% from Shanzhai

There are more than 90 actors in "Yunnan Impressions", of which 70% are ethnic minority actors from various villages in Yunnan. Their blood already carries primitive dance genes. These actors were as young as 7 years old and as young as 20 years old. When Yang Liping went to find them, they were still doing farm work. According to Yang Liping herself, the reason why a large number of amateur actors are employed is mainly because many professionaldancersdo not have a folk flavor. They have been searching for that feeling outside the folk circle. And these folk actors sing those songs and dance those dances in their daily lives, their songs and dances are full of the vibrant spirit of life, which professional actors do not possess. During rehearsals, Yang Liping only needs to guide them to get used to stage performances

Performance: The original state of the red soil authentic ethnic group

The whole drama consists of seven songs and dances: "Chaos Begins", "Sun", "Land", "Homeland", "Fire Festival", "* *", and "Spirit of the Sparrow", showcasing the worship of nature and love for life among Yunnan's ethnic minorities. The dance arrangement integrates and reconstructs the essence of Yunnan's primitive rural song and dance with the vocabulary of ethnic dance, using cutting-edge artistic concepts to express the diligence and simplicity of ethnic minorities. The body language incorporates ethnic dances such as Yi, Miao, Tibetan, Dai, Bai, Hani, and others. The prologue kicked off with the sound of 60 large drums, and even when the women beat the drums, they felt the vibrant vitality from the red soil. Finally, Yang Lipingleads the dance, and 60 "peacocks" dance together as the "Spirit of the Sparrow" as the finale. The entire performance of the play is based on live singing, and the costumes used are all prototypes of ethnic minority costumes

Stage design: Ancient and modern time and space jumps

"Yunnan Impression" extensively uses movable and adjustable devices. It is reported that ethnic minorities in Yunnan like to dance collective dances in the square after work, which they call "Dage" or "Tiaoguozhuang". In order to recreate this way of life on stage, Yang Liping broke through the previous balanced layout of stage art and perfectly combined traditional square activities with modern stage art. Music, clothing, lighting, and props will leave the audience with a specific impression of the 'original ecology'. 180 masks with Yunnan characteristics, including cow heads,Manishi, and prayer wheels, shuttle between ancient and modern times in the illusionary and realisticstage lighting, creating an ecological emotion through temporal and visual displacement
