Inspired by Song Dynasty (AD 960-1279) painter Wang Ximeng’s masterpiece “A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains,” the choreographed production is a joint effort of the Palace Museum, China Oriental Performing Arts Group and People’s Daily Online.
The drama vividly provides insight into how the original painting was created through imaginative and elegant dance moves.
Ever since its debut, the dance drama has won widespread praise for its unique narrative style and stunning visuals.
Through imaginative and elegant dance moves, it also vividly provides insight into the creative process of Wang’s painting, which is known for its rich colors and refined details.
From the perspective of a modern-day researcher at the Palace Museum, spectators will feel like they’ve been immersed in the charm and aesthetics of a traditional Chinese painting.
