The Impression of Yunnan is a stage show with traditional beauty and modern power showing strong ethnic customs. It’s a feast of dance, music and lead you back to the lost paradise.
Yang Liping (born November 10, 1958) is the director, choreographer and star of a performance art show called “Dynamic Yunnan” that has drawn sellout crowds all over China. She toured Europe and the United States in 2005. Between 2004 and 2008, Yang Liping directed and choreographed a trilogy: “Dynamic Yunnan”, “Echoes of Shangri-la” and “Tibetan Myth”.
In 2004, “Dynamic Yunnan” won five major awards at the National Lotus Awards, including Gold Award for Dance Spectacular, Best Choreography and Best Female Performer. To create the exotic song and dance spectacular “Dynamic Yunnan”, Yang spent years travelling to remote villages of the 26 ethnic minority tribes in Yunnan and selected over 60 peasants who had the natural gift of song and dance, from whom she built an archive re-creating this rich feast of sight and sound.
