On the morning of July 7, Wuhan People's Art Theater's new children's drama "Fengshen Tota Li Tianwang" premiered at Zhongnan Theater.
This time, Wuhan People's Art Theater will work with Zhejiang Children's Art Troupe, Liaoning People's Art Theater and other top ten domestic theater troupes to create ten "Fengshen" series of stage works. "The Gods' Tota Li Tianwang" is written by Lin Yongjun, counselor of the State Council, chairman of the Chinese Drama Association, postdoctoral fellow in drama, and doctoral supervisor, and directed by Leng Jiahua, an expert with government subsidies from the State Council, a national first-class actor, and winner of the Plum Blossom Award.
In "The Romance of the Gods", Li Jing, the "King of Tota Li", is a brave and warlike "god of war" and a symbol of "justice". The children's drama "The Tota of the Gods", through the plots of "Expedition and Night Running", "Trouble and Escape", "Crossing and Encounter", "Struggle and Responsibility", "Cutting and Guarding", not only shows Li Jing's heroic image of fighting bravely, supporting justice, punishing evil and promoting good, and benefiting the society, but also allows people to see a reflective and enlightened and affectionate father image from the stories of him and the young Nezha, Sun Wukong, Red Boy, and the third prince Ao Bing.
In the play, there are not only fierce battle scenes, but also the warmth and beauty of father and son's filial piety; There are not only humorous and hilarious comedy performances, but also bold imaginations full of innocence and childlike fun; It not only has the cultural light of Panlong City, the "root of the city" in Wuhan, but also the reflection of parent-child education and the perception of what is a "hero", and the care of "growth" is not only sown to minors, but also has certain enlightening and educational significance for many adults who have become fathers and mothers.
The play skillfully uses the opera elements in Chu opera, and the characters in the play use percussion music such as "plate drum", "big and small gong", "bangzi", "wooden fish", "tang drum" and other percussion for live soundtrack, and externalizes the inner rhythm of the characters at the emotional changes and emotional climaxes in the play, which not only highlights the unique charm of Chu opera, but also conforms to the contemporary aesthetic trend, presenting the multi-faceted character of Li Jing's "God of War Face", "Strict Father Face", "Great Love Face" and other characters, and deepening the level of character character.
On July 20th, "The Gods' Tota Li Tianwang" will also go to Hangzhou to participate in the 8th Zhejiang Children's Theatre Festival.
