Modern Musical Dongpo: Life in Poems Astonishes Audience in U.S. Debut

The stagecraft of Dongpo: Life in Poems is breathtaking. Rather than directly showing Su Dongpo's personal life, the goal is to rely on artistic sophistication to foster a poetic ambience where "Dongpo can't be seen but Dongpo is everywhere." This kind of artistic expression that fuses traditional and contemporary elements, the East and the West, will bring to the American audience an artistic experience unlike any other.

 

Furthermore, the production also represents a gathering of some of the top artists from both China and overseas. Other than Shen Wei, the team includes the likes of renowned Chinese-French composer Chen Qigang, national grade I scriptwriter Guo Changhong, lighting designer for the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games Xiao Lihe, and Deputy Director of the China Calligraphy Institute Yang Tao, among other heavyweights. Their expertise and experience have furnished this production with choreography, music, scripting, lighting and calligraphy of remarkable quality.

 

This round of debut in the U.S. has received tremendous support from the "Image China" brand. Since inception in 2009, "Image China" has been responsible for a large number of Chinese performances that have garnered widespread acclaim. This round of Dongpo: Life in Poems shows in the U.S. will be undertaken in cooperation with the American Dance Festival, and present to the American audience a modern musical masterpiece featuring Chinese aesthetics.

As the debut performances draw near, the Kennedy Center in DC and David H. Koch Theater in New York City's Lincoln Center are making final preparations. No doubt the audiences have a lot to look forward to, and they expect to savor the charms and colors of traditional Chinese culture on stage.

 

It has been known that Dongpo: Life in Poems will also tour in France and the Hong Kong and Macao regions in 2024. As the birthplace of Su Dongpo, the city of Meishan will also capitalize on the opportunities of these tours by using both online and on-site methods to introduce to the world the city's wonderful array of cultural resources, ecology, sceneries, gastronomy and intangible cultural heritages.
