I guess it is best to see it for what it is .....just a bit of show business and eye candy.... Like Riverdance or CATS The Phantom of the Opera...is a nice piece of commercial entertainment.... Just one writer/directors idea of a good thematic show...Nothing to do with politics or deep human issues ...right?....keep the actors and dancers in a job....employment is a good thing !
So I'm not clear...are there ANY Tibetans in this troupe?
or is this a Chinese dance theater creating an artistic presentation that incorporates Tibetan cultural elements?
Art of course is Art and Culture...... is.... Tradition and this requires a sensitivity to authenticity of history and language. Thanks for posting it up. It's good entertainment. :)
What is so amazing about this distorted tibetan dance? This is chinese version of tibetan dance. Sinonising our culture in order to illiminate it just like what they did to mongolians culture.
You need to know what is modernization and what is sinonization. You must believe Tibetan should never sing pop music or dance in a modern way, even the songs and dance originate from or are inspired by Tibetan culture. By the way, the director of the show is Yang Liping, who is also a performer in this show. She is Bai Chinese, not Han.
