The ethnic dances in 'Impression of Yunnan' are truly breathtaking

Truly! The 'Impression of Yunnan' is so authentically Yunnan and breathtaking. 'Impression of Yunnan' is a large-scale song and dance drama that incorporates the customs of various ethnic minorities from multiple regions of Yunnan. From the Yi, Dai, Tibetan to Wa ethnic groups, the performance spans from rituals, dances, beliefs, love to daily life and production. 70% of the actors are from the well-known ethnic minorities of Yunnan, allowing the audience to greatly appreciate the charm of these minorities. The costumes worn by the performers are all based on the real-life prototypes of the various ethnic groups in Yunnan. ♣1. The opening sequence, representing the chaos at the beginning of time, might make some laugh due to the Yunnan dialects, while others marvel at the beauty of the stage, the vast darkness of life's origin, directionless. With the rise of the sun and moon, all creatures gradually awaken. ♣2. As the sun rises, drumbeats follow one after another, and people dance with all their might, beating the divine drum with their lives. ♣3. I love the Yi ethnic group's passionate saying, 'A mouth that doesn't sing lives in vain; feet that can't dance won't be sought after in beauty.' ♣4. Pilgrimage is a pure faith, a belief that is indifferent to romantic affairs, distant landscapes, and the dichotomy of right and wrong. Mani stones, prayer wheels, prayer flags, each harbors a devout soul. The loud singing of children pierces through my heart, through the white pagodas, into the snowy mountains, the sky, as if it could purify a lifetime of turmoil and unease. ♣5. The ending of 'The Spirit of the Sparrow' suggests that what we seek throughout our lives is ourselves. All art stems from life; the joyous, lively, pure, and clean love is so desirable. Many find 'The Spirit of the Sparrow' to be very aesthetic and are unknowingly attracted to it. ★ If you don't have time to slowly experience Yunnan, then watching a performance of 'Impression of Yunnan' will offer a very different experience. ⌚️Showtime: Every evening at 20:00 sharp, with admission starting at 19:20 🌅Venue: Yunnan Art Theater, No. 81 Dongfeng West Road, Wuhua District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province VIP: 440 Category A: 340 Category B: 255 Category C: 187
