中印联合创演当代舞剧《贝玛·莲》在京首演

11月29日，由中国舞协主办，中国文学艺术基金会、印度斯里拉姆表演艺术中心、 “惊喜”艺术基金、 SRF联合制作，印度编导鲁克米尼·查特吉与中国舞蹈家滕爱民共同编创并主演的当代舞剧《贝玛·莲》在京首演。该剧用印度古典舞蹈与中国当代舞蹈的交织融合，诠释穿越时空、跨越国度的人类情感，寻求两种文化的共通之处。

舞剧共分为五个章节，讲述了半神、爱人、凡人与仙子等几个人物之间的爱恨情愁，以及由此而生、与之相伴的嫉怨纠缠与互助感恩，最终迎来欢乐祥和有情人终成眷属的美好故事。包括中印两位编导在内的十位中印舞者的演绎既带有印度舞蹈惯有的神秘感，又彰显出中国舞蹈的独特魅力。印度舞蹈“舞教合一”的传统与明显的文化印记熔铸在舞者的身体当中，彰显出的肃穆敬畏与中国舞者或自由奔放或含蓄内敛的现代风格相互映衬，让整部作品带有虚实相生的强烈对比与阴阳两极的朦胧意境和从始至终的仪式感，体现着中印文化的相互包容与彼此尊重。

Thedebut of Shiv-Yin, a contemporary dance drama under joint creation and presentation by Indian choreographer RukminiChatterjee and his Chinese counterpart TENG Aimin was shown in Beijing on 29, November. Hosted by Chinese Dancers Association, the drama is under co-production of China Literature and Art Foundation, India Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts, Serendipity Art Fund and SRF. Blending India’s classical dance and China’s contemporary dance, the dance drama was committed to seeking the common place between the two cultures by interpreting the human emotions crossing the times and countries.

Divided into five acts, the dance drama tells about the happy story of the love and hate between the characters of half-god, lover, mortal and fairy, and resulting gratitude concerned with the jealous resentment and entanglement with eventual peace and happiness between all lovers. The performance of ten Chinese and Indian dancers, including the choreographers from the two countries, not only showcasd the mystery of the India dance, but also highlighted the unique charm of dance in China.The tradition and the obvious cultural imprint of India dance’s Unity of Dance& Religion were casted into dancer’s bodies with solemn awe, contrasting with Chinese dancers’ free or implicit modern styles. It embodied the whole works with the virtual and real contrast and the obscure mood of the Yin and Yang with last sense of ceremony, reflecting the mutual tolerance and respect of the Chinese and Indian cultures.
