汤丽萍,催生《云南映象》

Yang Liping Catalizes the Birth of Yunnan Image

最初,杨丽萍只想拍一部自己的舞蹈集锦。有了电影《太阳鸟》的导演经验,又观摩了一些国外优秀的舞蹈影象作品,杨丽萍有信心把自己的舞蹈拍得独特经典,美仑美奂。2000年,杨丽萍静下心来,一头扎进西南民族地区的山水村落。她走遍了整个云南和西藏、四川甘孜州、凉山州的大部分地区,选景、看演员,感受和收集民族歌舞,拍摄了大量的影象资料。在云南民间,她看到眼花缭乱的鼓舞:基诺族太阳鼓、傣族象脚鼓、哈尼族mang鼓、彝族神鼓、佤族mang的镲……她听到这样对击鼓的诠释:鼓面是圆的柔的,象征女性;鼓杖是直的有力量的,象征男性。以杖击鼓象征了阴与阳。

Yang Liping is a well-known Bai ethnic dancer in China. In recent years, she has gone through innumerable trials and tribulations to extensively gather materials of ethnic and folk dances popular in southwestern China in order to protect the minority culture. She created and choreographed the large 6-scene pristine song and dance drama Yunnan Image, in which she herself acted the leading role. The drama presented audiences with a soul-shocking and thought-provoking aesthetic feast.
