《忆梦桃源 Beyond Utopia》


剧情提要 Story


乱世倾覆,烟火凋零,安稳岁月转瞬成空。颠沛的少女在绝境中误入一方不染尘嚣的桃源秘境。净土隔绝硝烟,四时温柔安宁,让饱经苦难的逃亡者暂时栖身于纯粹美好之中。这片人间乐土,究竟是乱世馈赠的救赎乌托邦,还是藏着千钧重量的虚妄幻境?那句戛然而止的箴言暗藏深意,安稳背后是否藏着不为人知的血泪过往?当幻境与现实对峙、安逸与大义相撞,迷途少女终将如何抉择?当悠悠渔光曲再次回响,所谓的岁月静好,究竟是战乱终熄的归途,还是一代人毕生奔赴的理想?


As war tears the world apart and ordinary life fades away, a young woman fleeing hardship stumbles into a hidden paradise untouched by conflict. Sheltered from the smoke of war, she finds a peaceful place where life feels beautiful again. But is this paradise a refuge offered by a troubled world, or an illusion hiding a painful truth? Behind the calm, are there sacrifices no one has spoken of? When dreams collide with reality and comfort conflicts with duty, what will the young woman choose? Is peace the ending of war, or a dream that an entire generation has spent its life pursuing?


舞蹈 Dance Pieces


独舞: 残荷

Solo: Withered Lotus


原编导:高琦;出自北京舞蹈学院中国古典舞系第二届“国舞新秀”;Originally choreographed by Gao Qi for the second Guowu Xinxiu showcase by the Chinese Classical Dance Department at Beijing Dance Academy.


“秋阴不散霜飞晚,留得枯荷听雨声。”《残荷》以凋零后的荷为意象,在寂静与萧瑟之中探寻生命另一种形态的美。盛放过后,荷叶渐残、花色渐褪,却并未因此失去生命的力量;枯梗独立水面,反而显露出历经风雨后的坚韧与从容。作品不只表现凋零之美,更借“残荷”寄托对生命、时间与坚韧的思考——繁华终会褪去,而沉淀之后留下的,仍是一份向内生长的力量。

“Autumn clouds linger; frost comes late. I keep a withered lotus to listen to the rain.”

This piece finds beauty in the lotus after it has faded. The leaves may wither and the flowers lose their color, but the plant’s strength remains. Standing alone above the water, its bare stems show a quiet resilience shaped by time and hardship. Withered Lotus reflects on life, change, and perseverance: splendor eventually fades, but inner strength can keep growing.



群舞: 采莲(10–15人)

Group dance: Gathering Lotus (10–15 dancers)


原选自舞蹈诗《月颂》;Originally from the dance poem Moon Song.


《采莲》以江南水乡的采莲图景为灵感,将少女泛舟莲间、嬉游采莲的灵动景象呈现在舞台之上。通过俯身采莲、回眸嬉戏等富有生活气息的舞蹈语汇,勾勒出一幅清新明丽的江南画卷。作品在柔美婉转的舞姿中融入少女的活泼与欢欣,展现人与自然相依相融的诗意,也让古老的采莲意象在舞台上焕发出鲜活的生命力。

Inspired by the waterways of southern China, this piece brings to life young women boating among the lotus flowers, gathering blossoms and playing together. Lively gestures and graceful movements create a bright, fresh picture of riverside life. The dance celebrates the joy of youth and the close bond between people and nature.



群舞: 能不忆江南(10-15人)

Group dance: How Could I Forget Jiangnan? (10–15 dancers)


原编导:蒲宇、蒋雨昊;演出单位:无锡市歌舞剧院(江苏民族舞剧院);第十三届中国舞蹈“荷花奖”作品;Choreographed by Pu Yu and Jiang Yuhao, and performed by Wuxi Song and Dance Theatre (Jiangsu National Dance Theatre). A work featured in the 13th China Dance Lotus Awards.


“日出江花红胜火,春来江水绿如蓝。能不忆江南?”作品取意于白居易《忆江南》,以烟雨水乡、青瓦小桥与潋滟春水为意象,将记忆中的江南化作一幅流动的舞台画卷。舞者以轻柔婉转的身姿、细腻舒展的动作,勾勒出江南特有的温润与秀美,也将人在山水之间的眷恋与回望融入一举一动之中。作品不只描绘江南之景,更借舞姿书写对故土、旧梦与美好时光的留恋。

“At sunrise, the river glows redder than fire. In spring, the river looks as green as blue. How could I forget Jiangnan?”

Inspired by a poem by Bai Juyi, this piece evokes misty waterways, tiled roofs, small bridges, and shimmering spring water. The dancers’ flowing movements capture the gentle beauty of Jiangnan and a longing for home, old dreams, and treasured memories.



独舞: 簪花引

Solo: Ode to Hair Flowers


原编舞:以霖璇子很圆;原创:以霖舞蹈;Originally choreographed by Yilin Xuanzi Hen Yuan for Yilin Dance.


《簪花引》以古代女子簪花为意象,将春日的明媚、花影的柔美与少女的灵秀融入一幅清雅画卷。花映人面,水照眉眼,一簪一顾之间,既有对自身美好的欣赏,也有青春正盛时的自信与从容。作品以细腻婉约的东方意境,描绘少女临水簪花、顾盼生姿的动人瞬间,让花与人彼此映衬,也让含蓄、柔美与灵动交织其中。那一枝簪于鬓间的花,不只是装点,更像是春日里悄然盛放的心绪,在光影流转之间,将东方女子温婉而明丽的风韵徐徐展开。

This graceful piece draws on the tradition of women wearing flowers in their hair. Spring light, soft blossoms, and youthful confidence come together in a delicate portrait of a young woman admiring her reflection by the water. The flower is more than an ornament: it reflects a heart quietly opening in spring.



群舞: 春和景明(12–17人)

Group dance: A Bright Spring Day (12–17 dancers)


改编自陕西师范大学原创舞蹈《春和景明》;原编导:韩宝全、张颖、刘佳睿、张文海 ;Adapted from an original work by Shaanxi Normal University. Originally choreographed by Han Baoquan, Zhang Ying, Liu Jiarui, and Zhang Wenhai.


《春和景明》取意于范仲淹《岳阳楼记》,描绘春日和煦、天光澄澈、万物焕新的明丽景象。春风轻拂,草木萌发,山水之间尽是温柔而蓬勃的生命气息。明媚春光之中,少年人相伴同行,在嬉笑与陪伴中结下真挚的友谊,也在不经意的目光与靠近之间,悄然生出朦胧而青涩的情愫。作品以“春和景明”为意境,将春日的清朗与青春的鲜活交织在一起,描绘一段无忧、纯粹而明亮的年少时光。春色正好,少年正当时,那些尚未说清的心意,也如新芽一般,在春风里悄然生长。

Inspired by Fan Zhongyan’s The Yueyang Tower, this piece portrays a clear, warm spring day as the world comes to life again. Young people spend carefree days together, building close friendships and discovering the first shy stirrings of affection. The dance captures the brightness of youth and feelings that, like new buds, begin to grow in the spring breeze.



群舞: 牡丹亭(15–19人)

Group dance: The Peony Pavilion (15–19 dancers)


改编自黎星、黄佳园导演及编舞的舞剧《牡丹亭》;Adapted from the dance drama The Peony Pavilion, directed and choreographed by Li Xing and Huang Jiayuan, based on the classic play by Tang Xianzu.


取意于汤显祖同名经典传奇,以杜丽娘与花神的相遇为意象,在花影、梦境与春色之间展开一场关于青春与生命觉知的浪漫想象。满园姹紫嫣红,不只是春日盛景,也像一次内心的唤醒。杜丽娘在游园之间感知生命的鲜活,也逐渐听见自己真实的心声;花神则仿佛春意与生命力的化身,引领她走出懵懂与拘束,重新感受自我与世界。

Inspired by the meeting between Du Liniang and the Flower Goddess, this piece unfolds among blossoms, dreams, and spring scenery. The garden’s brilliant flowers become a symbol of awakening. As Du Liniang explores the garden, she discovers the vitality of life and begins to hear her own true feelings. The Flower Goddess, a symbol of spring and renewal, guides her toward a fuller sense of herself and the world.



独舞: 天地之和

Solo: Harmony of Heaven and Earth


原创古典舞:祺小思;音乐:《天地之和》,张渠;Original classical dance by Qi Xiaosi. Music: Harmony of Heaven and Earth, composed by Zhang Qu.


天地相合,万物并生。《天地之和》以中国传统文化中“和合共生”的思想为意蕴,从山川草木、四时流转与万物生息之间,展现天地相依、自然相融的和谐之美。春生、夏长、秋收、冬藏,万物在循环往复中各循其序,又彼此联结。作品借“天地之和”寄托对平衡、包容与共生的理解,在开阔而宁静的意境中,呈现东方文化对于自然秩序与生命和谐的想象。

This piece reflects the traditional Chinese idea that all things live in balance and harmony. Mountains, plants, changing seasons, and living creatures depend on one another. Spring brings growth, summer brings abundance, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings rest. Through a calm, expansive atmosphere, the dance explores balance, acceptance, and the connection between nature and life.



小群舞: 象王行(3–5人)

Small group dance: The Elephant King’s March (3–5 dancers)


原创编舞:Da玲玲玲; Originally choreographed by Da Linglingling.


象王徐行,沉稳而有雷霆之势。《象王行》以“象王”为意象,在厚重与开阔之间铺陈出雄浑壮阔的东方气韵。一步一势,既有大地般的沉着,也蕴含蓄势而发的力量;刚劲之中不失从容,磅礴之中自有秩序。作品借象王之“行”,呈现力量、威仪与坚定的精神意象,在恢弘深沉的氛围中,勾勒出一种不疾不徐、却足以撼动山河的气度。

Steady and powerful, the Elephant King moves with quiet authority. This piece blends strength with composure, suggesting a force that gathers slowly but can shake the earth. Its measured movements create a sense of grandeur, dignity, and resolve.



群舞: 新款到货(8-10人)

Group dance: New Arrivals (8–10 dancers)


改编自上海歌舞团舞剧《永不消逝的电波》选段《新款到货》;原编导:韩真、周莉亚;Adapted from a section of Shanghai Dance Theatre’s dance drama The Eternal Wave, choreographed by Han Zhen and Zhou Liya.


“新款到货”,一句寻常的招呼,却暗藏另一重意味。《新款到货》选自舞剧《永不消逝的电波》。故事发生于风云诡谲的年代;一间看似寻常的旗袍店,也成为秘密与身份交错的舞台。精致的旗袍、从容的笑意与平静的寒暄之下,是彼此之间无声的试探与较量。真假难辨,步步藏锋,越是优雅从容,越显暗流涌动。作品将海派风情的雅致与谍战故事的紧张感交织在一起,让一场看似寻常的“新款到货”,成为危机四伏中的无声交锋。

“New arrivals” sounds like an ordinary shop announcement, but it carries another meaning. Set in a turbulent era, this piece takes place in a cheongsam shop where secrets and identities overlap. Beneath the elegant dresses, easy smiles, and casual greetings, people silently test one another. Shanghai style meets the tension of a spy story, turning an ordinary announcement into a quiet but dangerous confrontation.



双人舞: 风声

Duet: Whispering Breeze


原编导:吕梓民;原演:华宵一、李艳超;Originally choreographed by Lü Zimin and performed by Hua Xiaoyi and Li Yanchao.


风声鹤唳,暗潮汹涌。《风声》以民国谍战为背景,围绕顾晓梦与李宁玉两位女性展开。真假难辨的局势之中,身份成为枷锁,言语处处设防,而信任却在一次次试探、沉默与守护中悄然生长。她们身处同一场危局,却各自背负着无法言说的秘密,在立场、生死与情感之间艰难抉择。当信念与情感被推向命运的尽头,守护也最终有了牺牲的重量。那些未能说出口的话、未能走完的路,化作时代洪流中久久不散的回声,在风声散尽之后,仍留有余响。Set during the Republican era, Whispers in the Wind follows two women, Gu Xiaomeng and Li Ningyu, through a world of espionage and uncertainty. With identities in doubt and every word guarded, trust grows through tests, silence, and acts of protection. Both women carry secrets as they face difficult choices about loyalty, survival, and their feelings for one another. Sacrifice gives weight to their final act of protection. What they could not say, and the road they could not finish, remains as an echo long after the storm has passed.



群舞: 致黎明(15–17人)

Group dance: To the Dawn (15–17 dancers)


北京邮电大学学生艺术团原创现当代舞作品;An original contemporary dance by the Student Art Troupe of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.


《致黎明》以隐蔽战线上的革命岁月为背景,以“伞”为重要意象,将秘密、危机与守护藏于沉沉夜色之中。在无声的较量里,有人隐去姓名,有人负重前行,也有人以生命守住心中的信念。黑暗愈深,对光明的奔赴便愈加坚定。作品从暗夜中的潜行与坚守,走向破晓前最炽烈的选择。他们未必等得到天亮,却以自己的微光,为后来的人照见黎明。

Set during the underground resistance, this piece uses an umbrella as a symbol of secrecy, danger, and protection. In the silent struggle, some hide their names, some carry heavy burdens, and some give their lives to protect what they believe in. The darker the night, the more determined their pursuit of light. They may never live to see the dawn, but their courage helps light the way for those who follow.



群舞: 渔光曲(14人)

Group dance: Song of the Fishermen (14 dancers)


改编自上海舞团舞剧《永不消逝的电波》选段《渔光曲》;Adapted from a section of Shanghai Dance Theatre’s dance drama The Eternal Wave, choreographed by Han Zhen and Zhou Liya.


一曲《渔光曲》从旧时光深处缓缓传来。作品以民国时期的渔家生活为背景,在潮起潮落与风雨漂泊之间,勾勒出海边人家的生活图景。海浪带来生计,也带来未知与离别;微弱的渔火映照着困顿的岁月,也守着一份不曾熄灭的希望。作品在质朴而悠远的意境中,诉说生活的艰辛与坚韧,让属于那个年代的悲欢,随着海风与歌声久久回荡。An old song drifts in from the past. Set among fishing families during the Republican era, this piece portrays life by the sea, shaped by tides, storms, and uncertainty. The sea brings a livelihood, but also the possibility of loss and separation. Small fishing lights shine through hard times, holding on to a hope that has not gone out. The dance tells a story of hardship and resilience, with the joys and sorrows of the era carried on the sea breeze and in the song.



舞剧灵感 Inspiration for the Dance Drama


舞剧的核心灵感源自陶渊明经典作品——《桃花源记》。陶渊明笔下的桃花源,是乱世之中与世隔绝的一方净土,是世人向往的避世秘境,寄托着古人远离纷争、逃离苦难、归隐安然的精神期许,也是东方语境中极具代表性的理想乌托邦意象。本剧以此经典文学意象为创作原点,跳出消极避世的固有解读,赋予桃源全新的精神寓意:真正的安宁从不是被动逃避现实,而是历经风雨后主动守护、用心奔赴的人间平和。


作品依托极具东方美学的古典意境,结合现代人文视角进行全新解读,让古老的桃源意象跨越时空,契合当代观众的精神内核与价值思考。在经典文学的基础上,《忆梦桃源》以民国独特的时代境遇为切入点。彼时社会环境纷乱动荡,安稳的生活格外珍贵,人们长久徘徊在虚幻安乐与现实疾苦的两端。本剧聚焦当时普通青年的心境蜕变,刻画他们从眷恋虚妄幻境、回避现实困顿,到勇于直面现实、坚守本心使命的成长轨迹。


以个体的觉醒与抉择,诠释跨越时代的成长力量。除却文学底蕴与时代底色,本剧的创作灵感亦源自普世共通的人生命题。人生本就常在安逸幻境与现实磨砺之间摇摆,贪恋安稳、规避困顿是人之常情。作品跳出特定的时代局限,以乱世青年的觉醒与蜕变为载体,以温柔的东方叙事,探讨成长的本质:真正的成长,从不是逃避缺憾,而是认清生活的本真后,依然选择奔赴、担当与坚守。


The drama takes inspiration from The Peach Blossom Spring, the classic work by Tao Yuanming. In the story, Peach Blossom Spring is a hidden refuge, untouched by the troubles of the outside world. It represents the hope of escaping conflict and hardship to find peace.


Beyong Utopia reimagines this idea. Peace, the drama suggests, does not come from turning away from reality. It comes from facing hardship and choosing to protect a more peaceful world. The production brings this classic image into a new setting through the lens of the Republican era, a time of social upheaval when a stable life was especially precious. The story follows young people as they move from longing for an imagined refuge and avoiding hardship to facing reality and standing by their beliefs and responsibilities.


At its heart, the drama explores a universal part of growing up. It is natural to want comfort and avoid pain. But growth comes from seeing life clearly and still choosing to move forward, take responsibility, and hold on to what matters.
