Lyrical dance drama pays tribute to treasured porcelain
In the realm where artistry meets history, Qingbai porcelain of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) emerges as a muse that transcends time. Its delicate beauty, characterized by its translucent glaze and intricate designs, has inspired generations of artists across various mediums.
One such homage comes alive in the form of a mesmerizing dance drama, where movement, music, and visual art converge to weave a narrative that resonates with the essence of Qingbai porcelain.
Titled Blue and White: Impression of China, the dance drama, produced and performed by artists of China Oriental Performing Arts Group, will be premiered at Beijing’s Poly Theatre with shows running from Aug 16 to 18.
On July 26, a preview of the dance drama was staged at Beijing’s Drum Tower, one of the landmarks of the capital, marking the opening of the production.
