LI-YUAN CHINESE OPERA THEATER (Taiwan)
“The woman
who went mad upon losing a son,” Contemporary Dance
| Taipei Li-Yuan
Chinese Opera Theater, featuring, “ The woman who went mad upon loosing
a son” is a contemporary dance of 30-minute duration, performed by Huang
Yu-lin & Chang Hsue-hong. This is a unique Chinese operatic dance with
the unique movements of the 36 inches-long "water sleeves" of white silk.
When fleeing
from enemies, Lady Hu, concubine of a county officer, gave birth to a son.
She was captured by a robber and upon being released by the robber’s wife,
could not find her baby boy. This excerpt describes how she runs wildly
in a forest looking for her baby and goes mad over the loss of her son. |
