摘要
Modern dance "Hunting for Nora", adapted from the great drama "A Doll's House" by Henrik Ibsen, 19-century Norwegian playwright and performed by Theatre Ibsen at Beijing International Dance Season last December, fascinated the audience with its novel stage setting featuring Chinese paper cut. This bold innovation to integrate Chinese folk art with Western avant-garde dance drama has proved to be a big success, with strong visual appeals and fresh cultural significance. The 27 huge paper cuttings for the stage setting, designed by Qiao Xiaoguang, professor with the Central Art Academy of China, has been collected by Theatre Ibsen, and the paper-cut portrait of Ibsen he created has been permanently displayed in the theatre.
