"Tricolors Alongside the Yellow River": Tang figurines and Yellow River culture reimagined on stage

Tang tri-colored pottery originated in Luoyang City, central China’s Henan Province. These pottery figures were meticulously crafted by artisans along the Yellow River, showcasing their ingenuity and creativity while holding immense artistic value.

In 2019, the directors of “Xianwuren Studio”, driven by a deep respect for traditional Chinese culture, brought the art of Tang pottery-making to the stage. Through anthropomorphic expressions, the dancers breathed life into Tang pottery, paying tribute to the Yellow River culture behind it. Using Chinese classical dance, the production revives Tang pottery on stage, highlighting the unwavering efforts and significant contributions of working people in preserving Chinese culture.
