Chinanews.com, Beijing, November 26th (Reporter Gao Kai) The towering stone walls, the scattered wooden boxes, the dense red wine barrels hidden behind the door, and a huge and deep pupil looking straight from the stage to the auditorium are shocking. The terrified eyes seem to be spying on everything in the dark night, gazing at and magnifying everything——Zhang Hui, a young director who received a lot of praise and hot discussions at the Wuzhen Theater Festival last year with the play "Mixed, Zheluo or Salad", as The screenwriter and director of the drama "Tanning" received expectations and attention again on the evening of the 25th.

  The play "Tannin" is adapted from an article published this year on the "Myrrh Garden" official account. The article is based on a non-fictional writing about a high school girl's disappearance and murder in West Virginia, USA.

If non-fiction writing is based on the collection, screening, and verification of massive data and information based on only fragments of facts, then drama is based on the assumption and construction of people's hearts. In fact, facts, motives, The depth of psychology is what both writing and drama focus on and explore.

  It is reported that the reason why the work was named "Danning" was that Zhang Hui saw the sour temperament in the relationship between women in this story, and finally she decided to make the whole story take place in a building called "Danning". In the wine cellar, the childhood memories of Shiira (played by Zhang Qiao) and Sky (played by Zhou Xuan) are preserved here, and it also witnesses the fermentation, deterioration and even... complete shattering of the feelings of several girls.

"Tannin" is actually a transliteration of the word tannin in English. Its content and quality are one of the important factors to evaluate the quality of red wine, which can be described as "the soul of red wine".

In the play, "tannin" is a catalyst and also a metaphor, growing slowly in unknown places, slightly sour, until it gets out of control.

  Compared with news documentary, the stage presentation of "Tanning" makes a "crime" more comprehensive and stereo. After all, as an audience, they have a rare 360-degree panorama from God's perspective; abstract imaginations are replaced by actual scenes and characters. The first person expresses truth or hypocrisy. Deception and being deceived not only exist between characters, but also between viewing and acting.

In addition, the accumulation and flow of characters' emotions, the transmission and confrontation of energy between individuals, the malice in the secret place and the beauty in the bright place are all in sight, and the multi-faceted human nature and complex emotions finally converge into a huge wave and tsunami, rushing towards us. .

  As a self-made repertoire of "Of course there are dramas" of Damai Mailive's drama content label, the drama "Tanning" almost completely uses the main creative team of the drama "Miscellaneous, Zheluo, or Salad", continuing Zhang Hui's work. ", the play explores people, not just women; it tells about crimes, but it is far more than just an adaptation.

It is a drama deconstruction and reconstruction based on the analysis of real reality and anthropological perspective.

The presumption of the stage makes the story adapted from the real case break the third wall, and when you in the auditorium stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

  On the stage presentation, "Tannin" not only creates the gloomy atmosphere of the ancient wine cellar through the visual wood texture, but also continues the stage multimedia presentation. The interspersed video clips in the work not only expand the time and space of the story, but also Divergent, metaphor-laden content is also subtly incorporated, providing richer footnotes for each character.

Coupled with the integration of lighting, sound, animation and other elements, the stage language is fully displayed, and the audience's emotions are also placed in the balance, walking and going back and forth between the three, following the ups and downs of the story.

  It is reported that after the performance at the Wuzhen Theater Festival, the play "Danning" will start a multi-region tour across the country.
