For our first ever Organization Spotlight, we are featuring ELAN member Jingju Qu\u00e9bec, a Montreal-based organization performing Beijing Opera! Beijing Opera (or Peking Opera) was designated in 2010 by UNESCO with the status of \u201cIntangible Cultural Heritage\u201d, recognizing its importance within Chinese performing arts since the origins of the style in the late 18th century. \u201cJingju Qu\u00e9bec opened its doors to the public in 2016,\u201d says Director Aurore Liang, \u201cwith the purpose of introducing to a Qu\u00e9bec audience China\u2019s most iconic artistic genre, Beijing Opera. We would like to share our passion with everyone.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Jingju Qu\u00e9bec has a distinguished team of artists and teachers. Director Aurore Liang has more than 10 years’ experience in sales and marketing. The performers include artist Lianlian Jing, who has achieved first national class with 55 years of experience on the stage; artist Yan Lu who brings 35 years of experience; and artist Dongmei Shi who brings 30 years of experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Chinese, Beijing Opera is considered a true national treasure,\u201d says Aurore Liang. \u201cUniting singing, dancing, theater, mimes, acrobatics and folk tales, this eclectic creation is a complex amalgamation of various art forms.\u201d The opera is usually performed on a platform so that the stage can be seen from at least three sides. The performers\u2019 elaborate clothing and make-up plays a symbolic role, given that stage props and scenery are kept to a minimum. The artists mime the stories through a refined vocabulary of gestures and manipulations of their costume as an extension of the performer\u2019s emotions, such as the iconic use of long sleeves (Shiuxiu, literally \u201cwater sleeves\u201d). The artistic facial makeup, which is called Lianpu, is also important to express cues about a character\u2019s social class, personality and intentions to the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This dramatic style of performance adapts some elements of older styles of Chinese opera, and music and literature are central to conveying the stories. \u201cFor the moment, the Chinese government encourages the development of this traditional art, from primary school and the public, to appreciate the art,\u201d says Aurore Liang.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The interdisciplinary practice of Beijing Opera involves long and dedicated training. \u201cNormally we begin the training during childhood. The best age to start learning is around 10 years old. In a small class of 4 students, they need to learn techniques of singing, dancing, theatre and martial arts,\u201d describes Aurore Liang. <\/span>The demands of attaining proficiency in Beijing Opera require a deep knowledge and coordination of these multiple art forms at the same time: \u201cThat\u2019s why we always say ten years of practice for only one minute on the stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the prominent roles of women in Beijing Opera’s stories were played exclusively by men in the early years of the style, women also began performing in the mid 19th century. Some of the most popular operas are about women with pivotal roles in imperial courts or in military campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Beijing Opera is steeped with legend and history, recounting the tales of distinguished historical figures, romances, and military conquests.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cFarewell My Concubine\u201d is the tragic story of Xiang Yu, a princess who dies at the side of her emperor when Western Chu is at war with the forces of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty. \u201cDrunken Beauty\u201d is an acrobatic tale of the royal consort Yang Yuhuan, who was deceived by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and decides to get drunk on her own. \u201cThe Heavenly Maid Scatters Blossoms\u201d recounts the story of a maiden who is ordered by the Buddha to scatter flower petals in the room of Vimalakirti Nirdesa as a test of his faith.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cLady Wang Zhaojun Goes Beyond the Frontier\u201d follows the concubine Wang Zhaojun, one of the Four Beauties of China, who was married to a general from the nomadic Xiongnu in northern China, in order to maintain peace during the Han Dynasty. Lady Wang Zhaojun plays \u201cPipa Yuan\u201d (\u201cSorrowful Lute\u201d), as she departs in sadness from her homeland and travels to the distant north. \u201cLady Mu Guying Takes Command\u201d is the legend of female general Mu Guying from the Northern Song Dynasty, who was renowned for her boldness and for commanding an army into her eighties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jingju Quebec hosts performances, workshops and classes around Montreal, and works in Mandarin, English and French. <\/span>Jingju Quebec has held workshops with Union fran\u00e7aise, Projet Changement, and the University of Montreal for music students. <\/span>Recent performances and collaborations of Beijing Opera have included the Orientalys Festival<\/a><\/strong>, the Hong-Kong Canada Business Association (HKCBA)<\/a><\/strong>, Formons une famille, and the Chinese New Year Festival. The company is currently working on presenting more performances and classes in Montreal!<\/span><\/p>\n
