- Description
- "I Heard Love Returned: White Snake Redux" (听说爱情回来过——白蛇后传) is a contemporary ballet by Xiao Suhua (肖苏华 b. 1937), premiered by the Beijing Dance Academy in 2013. The work uses the Chinese folk tale of the White Snake to reflect on how love was experienced differently in three periods of twenty-first century China: the May Fourth Era, the Cultural Revolution, and the era of Reform and Opening Up. The work is structured on the Buddhist concept of reincarnation and uses primarily a modern and contemporary dance vocabulary.
