On the Spring Festival Gala in 2022, a dream that traverses a thousand years and crosses mountains and rivers – ‘Only This Green’ amazed everyone. This is a remarkable painting that miraculously conforms to the aesthetics of ancient people and modern people a thousand years apart. Its charm that spans ancient and modern times and is enjoyed by both refined and popular tastes is truly impressive! It is the landscape painting scroll painted by Ximeng, a genius teenager who was only 18 years old at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, in just half a year. Those seemingly distant and profound cultures appear in a new language, new form, and new carrier, making people remember it at a single glance. As a poetic drama, a poetic drama not only has a strong poetic sentiment but also has dramatic plots and scenes. Its poetic nature and strong lyricism give readers a broad space for artistic re-creation. ‘Dance poetic drama’ is a comprehensive stage presentation that uses dance as a vocabulary and creates a realm of ‘more expressive than words’ with the poetic expression of the body. The dance poetic drama ‘Only This Green’ takes ‘poetic drama’ as its genre and uses chapters such as ‘unfolding the scroll, inquiring about seal script, singing about silk, searching for stones, practicing writing, tempering ink, and entering the painting’ as its outline. The audience will follow the perspective of a modern Forbidden City researcher – the person who unfolds the scroll and wander in the legendary traditional Chinese aesthetic charm. The opening hours for the full text are from December 25th to December 27th, Wednesday to Friday, starting at 19:30. Subject to the on-site situation.
