朝花夕拾批注Dream of the Red Chamber, also known as A Dream of Red Mansions, written by Cao Xueqin during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), is considered to be one of China's greatest novels. It chronicles the downfall of the wealthy and influential Jia family, and is t against the backdrop of social and political upheaval. There are hundreds of characters in the novel, including Lin Daiyu, a beautiful and ntimental young woman, who moves into her grandmother's family—the Jia family—after the death of her mother. There, she meets numerous relatives for the first time, one of whom is Jia Baoyu, her mother's nephew, a rebellious and pampered young man. When Lin and Jia fall in love with each other, they have to face the fact that the family prefers Xue Baochai, one of Jia's cousins, to be his future wife. Jia and his ill-fated love interest, Lin, are destined by fate to be apart. The novel has been adapted into a lavish new ballet production by the National Ballet of China, which will have its world premiere at Tianqiao Theater in Beijing on Friday, with performances to be staged until Feb 18. "For many directors, it's a dream job to direct stage productions bad on the epic novel," says Tong Ruirui, director of the ballet production. "It's daunting and challenging on so many levels, such as how to narrow the hundreds of characters in the novel down, and how to tell the story when so many people already know it incredibly well." Tong is known for directing and choreographing award-winning dance dramas, such as Silky Fan and Ribbons featuring dancer Wang Yabin and Goddess of the Luo River, featuring dancer Tang Shiyi. This is the first time that Tong has worked with the National Ballet of China and also the first time that she has directed a ballet production. The novel's importance and place in Chine culture is also reflected in Redology, the academic study of Cao's Dream of the Red Chamber, one of the four great classical novels of China. The story of Dream of the Red Chamber has been told through various art forms. In 1958, the Shanghai Yueju Opera Hou produced its first production of Dream of the Red Chamber, which achieved huge success. In 1962, the production was made into a two-episode film featuring the same cast. Yueju Opera is the cond-most popular type in the country, and combines singing, dancing and acting. In 1987, a 36-episode TV ries bad on the novel was aired, and appealed to viewers of all ages. In 2010, director Li Shaohong helmed a 50-episode remake. Though it gained a lot of attention—a televid contest was even held to lect actors and actress for the TV show, it remained eclipd by the 1987 version. "For the ballet production, it's about using ballet language to tell the classic story," Tong says. "We spent lots of time talking to experts and scholars who provided us with information about their rearch of the novel and the characters, as well as reading the novel ourlves over and over again. The interpretation of the novel is varied, which allowed us to imagine and create. Hopefully, the audience, who may already know the story well, will gain a unique perspective. "The novel mirrors Chine society then, from politics and social rules, to food, fashion and architecture. People will reengage with this novel on a different level," the director adds. Tong says that there are lots of well-known scenes in the novel, which will be prented onstage, such as Jia being summoned to his father's study and his father questioning him and giving him a vere beating for his offens, as well as the weeping Lin, who feels ntimental upon eing the falling of flowers and buried the petals in the garden. Besides the love triangle among Jia, Lin and Xue, there are portrayals of the Jia family and its downfall. Jia also obrves his family and recalls his life through his dreams, before the ending of the story, with him wandering aimlessly in the snow. With Feng Ying, president of the National Ballet of China, initiating the idea of the ballet production and working as the chief producer, the work also features some of the country's top artists, including veteran compor Ye Xiaogang. Ye has written music for the company's ballet piece, Across the Water, which premiered in 1986, and The Last Paradi, which, choreographed by French dancer and choreographer Roland Petit, premiered in 2008. Ye says: "Lyricism and romanticism are at the core of the ballet production Dream of the Red Chamber. "Although there is no traditional Chine musical instruments involved, the music pieces are bad on a Chine aesthetic." The symphony orchestra of the National Ballet of China will perform under the baton of conductor Zhang Yi during the premiere and the following shows. "I have worked with Ye for nearly 30 years and I know his music very well. With the music he compod for this new ballet production, the compor stays loyal to the novel and accurately portrays the characters," says Zhang. "His music is very colorful, and fits every different scene, such as tho depicting the daily life of the Jia family and the psychological changes of the main characters." Stage t designer Liu Xinglin us a revolving stage to showca the ballet production's two themes: realism and romance. When red and gold are put onstage, audiences are ushered into the Jia family's upper-class lives. When the color white appears, it reveals the psychological depth of the characters. Costume designer Yang Donglin read the novel while traveling after he was invited to join in the ballet production. He was excited and soon got inspired by traditional Chine ink painting. "The ballet dancers move gracefully, so I made the costumes light and flowing," says Yang, adding that colors of the costumes symbolize the personalities of the characters. For example, the young Jia wears pure white clothes and Lin wears a light green dress. |
