Dance musical Impression of Yunnan Date: Sep 23-24－7:15 pm Venue: Shanghai Culture Square Price: RMB 180 to 980 Yunnan Impression Show, also called Dynamic Yunnan, is a grand and unique dance musical that richly depicts the strong flavor of the life of ethnic minorities in Southwest China. It tells stories about the universe, nature, culture, the pursuit for the origins of life, and the wish for everlasting life, in a form that combines the beauty of tradition with modernity. The performance reorganizes the essence of original rural songs and dances, and the classics of Chinese folk dance, successfully demonstrating the rich ethnic colors of Yunnan. With its blend of the most original, humanistic, and sacred rural dances and the classics of folk dance and the visual illusion of time and space, the performance creates a world of reality and fiction. The Impression of Yunnan predicates the birth of a new form of stage art in China. The famous dancer Yang Liping, who choreographed and produced the performance, is also the director and star.
