Extreme Artistic Conception Place @ Shanghai International Dance Center
Set against the backdrop of the 4,500-meter-altitude salt-carrying ancient route in northern Tibet, the dance theater production Extreme Artistic Conception Place unfolds the grandeur of the snowy plateau and the unique landscape of the northern Tibetan grasslands through dance, music, and poetic expression.
The work is divided into five chapters—Xing (Journey), Yun (Clouds), Ji (Ritual), Li (Ceremony), and Yi (Wings)—narrating the poignant tale of salt-carriers and their steeds who brave wind and snow to inherit their ancestors' will, embarking on a path of life to harvest nature's bounty.
By reinterpreting traditional folk dance culture through contemporary artistic language, the production guides audiences to trace the survival wisdom of Tibetan communities over millennia, experience the unique charm of the snowy plateau, and contemplate the relationship between humanity and nature.
Human culture forms its destined trajectory across different dimensions, much like the 'salt-carriers' who have long embarked on their snow-capped mountain paths and discovered the legends of nature.
