A Brief Introduction to the Story of riverdance

In a primitive world full of magical power, our ancestors experienced fear and joy. They use fire, trees and water to build their homes. They regard the world as a place full of magical power, and their songs, dances and stories are all integrated with this magical power.

The first one dances with the sun

The sun gives us life, light and fire; The first performance will praise this great and merciful power. The sun is a ray of light in the morning, bright and exciting.

The second cry of the heart

The upstream parade of salmon is also a primitive unsolved mystery. It is an instinctive pursuit of nature and a desire between the hearts. We have written this idea into songs since there were humans.

The power of nature is beyond human control and beyond human imagination. Those who bravely stand up against it have unparalleled courage, and they will never be defeated.

The Sixth Heavner Myth

Since the Middle Ages, crazy fairy tales of sweeney, Zuibnie and Heavner have been circulating in Ireland. Driven by his own strength and external force, he danced in despair under the power of the moon alone. This is a cruel and arbitrary force, a gentle and barbaric force.

The seventh dance of fire

In ancient Ireland, fire, pride and beauty originated in the southern country of the sun. The sun shows its strength in the passion of dancers.

The eighth game entered the spring harvest

The wheel of the season turns slowly, from harvest to silent winter, and then to spring full of miracles. In this season full of new life and excitement, the whole world has regained its vitality.

Game 9 riverdance

Our story begins with the memory of the river girl. When the river flows across the land, our story slowly happens in the long river of history. When the power of the river grows, when the barren land becomes fertile, when people constantly understand themselves. Our story continues to develop until it becomes an ode full of vitality and joy all over the world. War, famine and slavery cut off the primitive connection between man and nature, disturbed the whole human society and changed the history of indigenous people. When we look back on history, we learn to protect what we cherish, learn to adapt to others, learn to maintain our own style in other new ways, embrace new courage, learn to be abandoned by society and become temporary orphans, and learn how to integrate into society.

The tenth dream awakens America

From the middle of19th century, hunger, famine and ideals drove Irish people to leave their homes and cross the Atlantic Ocean to a new world. Lovers have separated, and family and society have gradually broken down.

The 1 1 race is ready to take off.

When these people who are forced to leave their homes face the heartbreak of separation, their souls often have a firm hope, and they firmly believe that they will overcome difficulties and find a better life.

Game 12: labor in the new world

The original representative music and dance began to face new and unknown cultures. In the later process of cultural integration, these immigrants found that people's experiences and expressions were more meaningful than different forms of various cultures.

In the middle of the night, a lonely voice sang alone, and soon other immigrants joined in, showing the desire of the oppressed people.

II) tap dancing

The wealth of the poor lies in their songs and dances and stories. Under the streetlights of the new town, the dancers danced with innate pride, eager to see what other traditional things would bring. At the same time, we constantly strive to build a bridge between the past dreams and the new reality.

Iii) Morning III) Macedonian/Russian dancers.

Whenever we meet something new, we will feel deja vu, but in fact we have never seen it; The first thing I learned was deja vu. A strange mood and a strange life haunt me.
