Hu Xuan/Dun Huang Dance - 胡旋/敦煌舞

Selected from the dance drama "Five Stars Rising from the East·The Call of the Ancients"
选自舞剧《五星出东方·远古的呼唤》

In the dance drama "Five Stars Rising from the East", the "Lantern Dance" dance segment, also known as "The Call of the Ancients", offers a new interpretation of the ancient Qiuci music and dance. Qiuci music and dance is an important art form in the ancient western regions, famous for its diverse and integrated cultural characteristics, and is known as "the song and dance from the heavenly palace". This dance segment draws inspiration from the "Qiuci Mural" in the Kizil Grottoes on the Silk Road, and incorporates the postures and movements of the celestial beings of the music. The dancers, like fairies walking out of the murals, gracefully holding lotus lanterns. Its rich Western Region style vividly reproduces the delicate actions in the murals: "snapping fingers", "head movement", and "neck movement", showcasing the ancient Western Region people's prayers and blessings for a good life.


在舞剧《五星出东方》中,“灯舞”舞段,也被称为《远古的呼唤》,是对古代龟兹乐舞的全新诠释。龟兹乐舞是古代西域的重要艺术形式,以其多元融合的文化特征闻名,并被誉为“天宫飞来的歌舞”。此段舞蹈从丝绸之路上的克孜尔石窟“龟兹壁画”中汲取灵感,将伎乐天人的姿态与动作融入其中。舞者们仿佛从壁画中走出的仙子,手持莲花灯,婀娜多姿。其浓郁的西域风情和优雅曼妙的舞姿传神地再现了壁画中的“响指”、“动脑袋”、“移颈”等细腻动作,展现出古代西域人民对美好生活的祈愿与祝福。
