The 60 -minute story originated from Peking Opera The repertoire "庄 剧 剧", tells the process of "Yizhang Qing" and the short -footed tiger Wang Ying, Leopard Tau Lin Chong and other Liangshan Haohan fighting in Wujiazhuang. In the end, San Niang defeated and married Wang Ying.

However, from the performance of the conventional theater to the immersive small theater mode, the experience of "Yizhang Qing" given the audience is new -this is the first time that most viewers' lives have "close at hand" with the actors.

What is "immersive"? Jimu Journalist interviews found on the spot that the basic pattern in front of the auditorium was only small, less seats, fewer seats, and the stage was still in front of the audience. Mi and winding are snake -shaped "small roads", while the auditorium is set up along this trail, and 80 seats will be surrounded by the stage group.

The changes in space settings also make the drama effect completely different.

At the beginning of the story, a bouquet of lights passed through the entire theater, the sound of music sounded, and the red cloak appeared at the end of the light. , The maid's hand holds the helmet of San Niang's helmet, which is relatively moving forward, and vaguely projected the tragedy atmosphere;

In the middle of the plot, Wu Sanniang and Wang Ying, who went down the mountain to recruit Wujiazhuang. The two fought endlessly. The flower gun and double -knife fought in front of the audience.

The close range also made the audience more delicately capture the actor's "inner drama": Wang Ying was ordered to be full of his face when he was ordered to go down the mountain, and when he talked about the beauty of San Niang, he couldn't help squeezing his eyes ... as Zhang Qingmin who played "Wang Ying" Zhang Qingmin "Wang Ying" He also interacted with the audience immediately. After looking forward to the beauty of San Niang, he shouted, "Did you see that San Niang?" A niche responded crisply: "See, look good!"

During the performance, the actor even controlled the sound of breathing

The immersive experience also comes from the "parcel" dance beauty.

The small theater area is about 170 square meters. In order to cooperate with the overall atmosphere of "Yizhang Green", the theater is full of rolling mountains on the surrounding walls. The snake -shaped stage is placed on the snake -shaped stage. Color, the scene at the scene restored the landform atmosphere of the story.

The actor's appearance also completely bid farewell to the fixed platform: the appearance of Wu Sanniang was passed through the audience seat, and Wang Ying was the first when the light was dark at a turning point on the snake -shaped stage. Reliencing jumped onto the stage.

"I am an old opera fan, and I have a lot of time to watch Peking Opera with my children, but today is the first time to watch the actors' performances so zero. I feel particularly excited, and the art is not as mysterious as before." Interview with Extreme News News interviews At that time, Ms. Wang, who came to the scene with her 8 -year -old daughter, said excitedly.

The newness that the audience feels is also a test of actors.

"The usual stage is weakened or even blurred by the actor because of the sense of distance, but the immersive theater is not good." Fang Jiahuan mentioned. Of course, the actors also said that although there was pressure in performance, the response of the audience's excitement was closer to them. "We can't help but work hard."

To choose the drama based on the "Pier" of Wuhan, Peking Opera, Chinese Opera and Chu opera undoubtedly the highest degree of acceptance of Peking Opera. It's good to get up, and there are a group of young actors who stand out from Wuhan Beijing Theater ... "
