Do you remember the series of arts events held during the Deaflympics Arts Month at the Taipei 2009 Deaflympics? The highly acclaimed “Impressions of Yunnan” left a deep impression on everyone. Now, those who missed it last time have another chance. The 2010 Miaoli County International Arts Festival has specially invited “Impressions of Yunnan” to perform, bringing an extraordinary international-level showcase of ethnic song, dance, and light to the Miaoli Dome from October 29th to 31st.
Miaoli and Yunnan—one is a mountain city in Taiwan, the other a mountain city on the mainland. Though far apart, the two share similar natural environments and diverse tourism resources. Since the launch of direct cross-strait flights, people have had more opportunities to enjoy cultural performances from the mainland.
“Impressions of Yunnan” is a stage masterpiece that combines traditional beauty with modern vitality. It reinterprets and reconstructs the essence of Yunnan’s most original folk songs and dances and classic ethnic dances, recreating the rich ethnic flavor of Yunnan. In the performance, the primal and rustic ethnic songs and dances collide with cutting-edge artistic concepts. The entire show encompasses the natural world, human emotions, as well as a search for the origins of life, a celebration of the life journey, and a longing for eternal life.
The performance consists of acts such as Cloud (Prologue / The Dawn of Chaos), Sun (The Sun), Moon (The Earth), Forest (Home), Fire (Fire Ritual), Mountain (Pilgrimage), and Feather (Epilogue / Spirit of the Peacock). It features 85 dancers led by renowned dancer Yang Liping, the Princess of Peacocks, 62 drums showcasing drum beats and rhythms, and 120 masks with distinctive Yunnan ethnic characteristics. With simple yet powerful singing and body language, the show presents the charm of original folk songs and dances of the Yi, Miao, Tibetan, Dai, Bai, Hani, and Wa ethnic groups. British tourists who have seen the “Dance of Fire” even commented that the impact of “Impressions of Yunnan” surpasses that of “Dance of Fire,” showing just how spectacular the content is.
