Night Banquet in the Tang Dynasty Palace
The dance show Night Banquet in the Tang Dynasty Palace is an all-female group dance played at the 2021 Spring Festival gala broadcast by the Henan Satellite Television Station. It tells the story of a group of musicians preparing for and performing at a night banquet in the Tang court. The dance is inspired by the burial figurines of musicians and dancers of the Sui Dynasty collected at the Henan Museum.
The dancers in the show, wearing costumes resembling Tang tri-colored pottery and crescent-shaped makeup, look like the figurines coming to life. Showcasing the beautiful Central Plains culture to the full, the dance is a mind- blowing visual masterpiece thanks to the use of 5G and AR technologies that put virtual scenes on the stage. Along with the agile movements of the dancers, the audience can also appreciate ancient paintings and artifacts with the help of modern technologies. The national treasures, such as the rectangular wine vessel with lotus and crane, the owl-shaped bronze wine vessel unearthed in the Tomb of Fu Hao, the Jiahu Bone Flute, and the painting of Ladies with Head-pinned Flowers, make the performance a real-life version of Night at the Museum starring the Tang ladies.
The setting for the performance is full of classic imagery that immerses the audience in a cultural atmosphere and evokes in them a sense of cultural community shared by all Chinese. The interplay between the real and the virtual, the ingenious re-creation of the artifacts, the delightful images, and the well-paced storytelling make a perfect show of aesthetic, artistic and realistic greatness all at once. In September 2022, the dance show was selected as one of the 2021 Top Ten National IPs.
