A: This show was marvelous! I’m feeling excited even now, and I didn’t dare to blink when watching it. It was the first time I f

A：这场演出太精彩了!我到现在还觉得很激动。刚才看的时候，甚至都不敢眨眼。这是我第一次觉得两个小时的舞剧太短。
B: So did I. No wonder the tickets for the two houses sold out in less than an hour. I heard this show has always been playing to a full house since its premiere in Shanghai.
A：真的吗?那我们能买到票真是幸运。说实话，我对舞剧一直没有什么兴趣。舞蹈好看是好看，可整场演出里演员都不说话，只跳舞。故事也没什么意思，看久了就有点枯燥。但这部舞剧和我以前看过的都不一样，我感觉像一部电影似的。
B: In theatrical dance, it is common to emphasize more on "dance" than "theatrical". The plot is usually simple, and actors don’t really act. They just need to make sure the dance is beautiful. Some shows are more like scenes loosely connected by dance movements instead of a theatrical production. The show we saw tonight is no doubt a valuable exploration of what dance theater is able to achieve. It combines drama with dance, and explains a rather complicated story mainly through dance and physical movements.
A：对，我没想到舞剧还能讲出这么复杂的情节。不过这样的话，在编舞和表演上就得下很多功夫吧?
B: Yes, because the dance movements will have to forward the plot rather than just express feelings. And what’s interesting is that the actors’ heights are not as uniform as in other shows. It makes this production more like a movie with different characters of various looks.
A：说到电影，我想起舞剧里有一幕就很像蒙太奇。男女演员虽然都在舞台上，但其实是在不同的空间里表演。两边的情节都很紧张，我都不知道该看哪边了。
B: The lights, sceneries and even costumes make the show more exciting. Do you remember the first scene? A lot of people walked quickly past each other, and everyone held an umbrella. It was very dark on the stage with little light, and people dressed in dark clothes with black umbrellas in their hands. All these made you nervous and gave you a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
A：没错，第一幕给了我很深的印象。这部剧精彩的地方还有很多，我已经想再看一遍了。
