? Call it childish sympathy. The nightingale pierced the branch into her heart and dyed the rose red with blood. But that's not worth the gold, silver and jewelry of rich people after all. Roses are torn to pieces and thrown to the ground, and so is the life of a nightingale. So, what about simple faith in love? I lamented the naivety of the nightingale and felt ashamed of mankind.
? Contemporary ballet is really a great creative carrier. It can be any shape. In the dance drama, there are many beautiful dance fragments, and the fingertips and toes draw a stretch arc, and the lines are simple and clear. Like flat UI design, beauty is inevitable (there is nothing wrong with beauty for beauty's sake, and our eyes need to be comforted in time). Contemporary ballet also allows appropriate (not as big as modern dance) distortion and banter, such as the nightingale's struggle and the white skirt dance at the end of the play. Dance, once there is a little disharmony, the space for expression can be broadened a lot. Wang Yuanyuan, the head of the delegation, chose contemporary ballet because she wanted both texture and thought. She also responded to her sentence, "Open your mind again, and you will have scruples about your behavior"-whether it is art or life.
? The nightingale in the original is "she", while the nightingale in ballet is a male nightingale with black feathers. Perhaps the nightingale's dying weakness is more infectious, but it is precisely because ballet does not want to gain sympathy for weakness that it will cover up the deeper meaning. The death of the male nightingale is not melodramatic at all. He is the purest appearance of love.
? The nightingale appeared on the high platform, blocked by the drooping strip scenery, and all she could see was the light and shadow flowing between the gaps. That kind of dance with virtual reality creates a mysterious feeling hidden in the forest, and also implies his separation from reality. The scene after nightingale's death is also an illusion. In the small space behind the stage, he tells the true and beautiful soul, and a blue-purple sand curtain separates him from the real world. There are dancers in black skirts in front blocking the view. There is no big talk, distortion and confrontation are just a small sign. Music is calmer and more serene, which is out of proportion to heaviness-the minuet in Bicai's Girls in Alai City looks like a fairy tale with a happy ending with a slender flute. Perhaps, the nightingale belongs to an illusion, as the original said, "meaningless" and "useless".
? The next white dress dance is the crowning touch. For a ballet based on literary works, its soul lies in something other than the original. It can be the background reset and contemporary interpretation of classic works, or it can be the personal feelings and philosophy of dance creators. White skirt dance is a carnival for young men and women. This is the moment to unload the burden of "beauty". The limbs sway at will, and the veil floats at will. There are broken pots and broken falls, there are dance academies, and there are helpless abandonment. Faded down the situation and blurred the face. This is both irony and terrible prophecy. The red curtain lights up, reflecting people's chaotic and crazy shadows, and also illuminating the nightingale curled up in a small space. ...
? I don't understand love, not only because I have no concept of what love is, but also because I doubt whether there is a complete and pure "ideal state" of love in human love. The nightingale believes in pure love. Is this belief just or stupid?
? Not just love. Anything unrealistic, anything with unknown results, is it worth risking your life to pursue?
? Now, this guy who doesn't know love wants to end this ramble with a sentence from the frustrated young man in the original book: love is actually ridiculous, and pragmatism is everything in this world. I think we should return to philosophy and study metaphysics.
