at 19:30 on December 9th and 10th, the original dance drama "Crested Ibis" by the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe will land at the National Grand Theater in Beijing.

the dance drama "Crested Ibis" is jointly produced by the Chinese people's Association for Friendship with Foreign countries, the propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Shanghai Media Group, produced by Shanghai Wengguang Performing Arts Group, starred by Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe Co., Ltd., produced and operated by Shanghai Jingzhao Culture Communication Co., Ltd. Playwright Luo Huaizhen, young dancer and national first-class choreographer Tong Ruirui created and arranged Zhu Jiejing and Wang Jiajun, the chief performers of the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe and national first-class actors, take the lead.

the Crested Ibis takes the international rare protected bird Crested Ibis as the theme, showing that human beings share weal and woe with nature, environment and all kinds of creatures in the process of modernization and urbanization of modern society.

since the long farming era, the crested ibis and human beings coexist harmoniously and live side by side. In modern times, with the rapid running towards modernization and urbanization, the deterioration of the living environment of the crested ibis has been inadvertently ignored. The blue sky clean water and quiet natural habitat necessary for the reproduction of wild crested ibis have become more and more sinister, and the crested ibis population is on the verge of extinction. In modern times, the discovery of the last seven wild crested ibis in Yang County, Shaanxi Province, China, shows that the "auspicious bird" has returned to human sight, and under the more and more conscious and careful protection and care of the crested ibis, the crested ibis has shown auspicious signs of species recovery.

Dance dramas aim to express "everlasting treasure" through "past loss". The Crested Ibis is a beautiful dance drama. On the stage, the beautiful and tranquil pictures, accompanied by melodious music, make the audience seem to be in Wonderland. The dancers dance gracefully and elegantly, depicting the pure beauty, cleanliness, elegance and nobility of the crested ibis vividly, showing a poetic and picturesque situational expression.

from April 18 to 20, 2014, after four years of honing, the Crested Ibis rehearsed three performances at the Shanghai Oriental Art Center, facing the audience. From October 4 to 15, "Crested Ibis" was invited to Tokyo, Niigata, Sadu and Yamanashi for four promotional exchange performances to warm up the show's 2015 national tour in Japan.

the performance of the National Grand Theater will be reviewed by the audience in the capital. All the staff of the Shanghai Song and Dance Troupe will complete the first show of "Crested Ibis" in Beijing with full enthusiasm, high quality and high standard. Exquisite dance performances and exquisite stage art effects will be presented to the audience in the capital.
