"Yang Liping's Peacock Dance has been criticized for her indecent dancer style."
Waiting for the topic to reach the social media hot search list
A netizen shared a set of stage photos
In her latest choreographed dance drama "Peacock"
There is a male dancer with a "very large scale" appearance
The male dancer in the photo is wearing only a pair of flesh colored tight leggings, lying on his side in the arms of the female dancer. When the stage light hits, it looks like he is completely naked.
At the same time, netizens also shared two separate photos of male dancers, one showing them squatting on tiptoe on the ground, with one hand in the shape of a peacock, and the other embracing their legs. The other photo shows standing and gazing into the distance. The muscle lines of the male dancers in the two photos are smooth and obvious, and their figures are clearly visible. If you don't look closely, you may think they are naked.
Netizens argue:
"Art" or "indecent"?
These dance stills have sparked great controversy on the internet, with polarized opinions.
Some netizens have raised objections to the appearance of male actors and expressed confusion, believing that this dance form is suspected of being indecent.
Faced with doubts, many netizens have launched a "counterattack" and expressed whether they want to dress David.
Some netizens bluntly stated that "don't wear colored glasses when watching this type of art" and "those who think too much should reflect.".
Yang Liping's latest response
Yang Liping's dance drama "Peacock" is currently on a nationwide tour, and the performance notice specifically states the requirement for children under 1.2 meters not to enter.
According to Jimu News, Yang Liping's team's "Bird Spirit" short video account used to promote Peacock Dance has also released a segment of the dance. However, the male dancer's body is covered in white gauze, presenting a scene of Peacock parting in life and death, with a mournful expression and posture that is very infectious. Compared to the photos posted by netizens, many of them are instant screenshots and enlarged effects, which may differ greatly from the actual presentation on stage.

On June 15th, Yang Liping responded while visiting Sichuan for observation, and the entire drama is divided into four chapters: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The actor's appearance at that time was in line with the plot, and the male actor played the peacock character, dedicating all his feathers to gain the freedom of the female peacock.
Yang Liping said, "That dance is my favorite and also the most difficult. Without other decorations, actors need to use extreme body and body language to perform."
Previously, Yang Liping's disciple Xiao Ronghao also sparked controversy over posting a video of intimate dance with a male dancer on a short video platform. At that time, Xiao Ronghao responded that moving stage art to everyday social media platforms and watching performances up close is actually very different. Art originates from life and is higher than life. On stage, real emotions need to be invested in order to provide audiences with a better viewing experience in the theater.
