Chapter 35 Tap Dance Performance

Trinity University.

In 1592, Queen Elizabeth I of England ordered to "civilize" Ireland and build a world-class research university based on the model of Oxford and Cambridge University.

With a history of hundreds of years, it is the oldest university in Ireland and arguably the best university in Ireland.

Domestic universities basically follow the same architectural model, but the buildings of these ancient schools in Europe are full of the solemn and solemn style of the Middle Ages. For the first time, they seem to be looking at a church.

After entering the interior, it is more like visiting a museum. Countless exquisite murals and oil paintings are placed on the walls, and ancient oil lamps and amorous students can be seen everywhere.

This is the place where Ye Kai saw the most oriental faces. There are as many as 300 Chinese students studying in this school. Ye Kai has heard others speak Chinese in the school no less than three times.

After staying outside for a long time, it is easy to feel a sense of security in a place where you can hear your mother tongue.

And, this is where the Irish National Tap Dance Company performs.

Since a few days ago, various tap dance dramas have been performed here, and their tap dance dramas are equivalent to foreign operas and dramas.

They integrated these excellent forms of expression into Irish dance drama, where you can see high-pitched bel canto, mournful bagpipes, and shocking tap dancing.

Ye Kai came here for Riverdance. In order to preserve his energy to watch tonight's performance, Ye Kai held back his desire and never went here to watch any performances.

He went to a small town not far from here to experience activities such as paragliding and hot air balloons, and visited ancient churches, Elizabeth Castle and other attractions.

The biggest difference from the domestic ones is that the scenic spots here cannot allow Ye Kai to learn skills or get talent points.It seems that talent points can only be obtained in domestic scenic spots.

After buying the tickets, Ye Kai followed the college students and tourists into the auditorium of Trinity University.

The various buildings in Ireland can meet almost all your requirements for the Middle Ages. Even this auditorium is full of the beauty of ancient Western architecture. Just sitting here seems to see time.

This is something that modern stadiums or Broadway trolls cannot do.

Sitting next to Ye Kai was a German named Fergus, who was an international student at Trinity University.Ye Kai happened to be able to speak German, so he talked with him about his feelings and thoughts about Trinity University.

"Thoughts?" Fergus scratched his curls like a bird's nest.

"Our country also has a long history. If you ask me what I think of this place, I only think the library is cool and has a magical style. It must be great to make a movie here."

Germany's heritage will not be shorter than that of the Celts, and Germany's ancestors, the Germans, once created two world-renowned empires. Both the Holy Roman Empire and the German Empire were among the best countries in society at that time.

Ye Kai asked the wrong person, he had to ask someone from the East.

There is a saying that is true, distance creates beauty.

The Forbidden City in the East, the Great Wall, and the pavilions and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River are all arts with oriental aesthetics. When traveling in the past, oriental people would say: "Well, this is the Forbidden City in my mind."

When people from abroad come to the Forbidden City, they will think: "Wow! This is so cool."

When the Chinese came to Europe, the two statements would be reversed. Because of the growth environment, you don’t know the history of Europe, so seeing such a majestic building, you will only be left with the purest amazement.

The show has begun.

The bass whistle brings the audience into a vast and boundless world, and the sound full of magnetic antiquity slowly affects the emotions of the audience.

During the performance, everyone was watching the performance carefully. Sitting in the auditorium, you can see at most four positions: front, back, left, and right. If you are farther away, there is blackness, only a little light on the stage.

The light on the stage gradually became brighter, and twenty tap dancers used their leather shoes as drumsticks to beat out uniform drumbeats on the stage.The neat and rhythmic pace is like the rhythmic style of poetry.

The dancers hold their heads high and glide lightly, making people visually feel that the dancers have no gravity or inertia.

Ye Kai has always felt that there are three kinds of dances that can cultivate temperament the most.

Ballet, classical dance, and tap dancing.

Sitting in the auditorium, watching their neat steps, the feeling of high spirits comes oncoming, showing vitality.

The lights dimmed.

The dancers left the stage neatly, and then a bright light appeared in the corner of the stage, which was especially dazzling in this dim environment.

The king of dance is out.

This person is no longer the person Ye Kai saw on TV ten years ago, but he is still very handsome.

Ye Kai didn't understand, even if there were iron plates on the front and back of the shoes.Then the left and right shoes have only four vocal parts.

How did they manage to allow the four vocal parts to produce several sounds in one second?Ye Kai has never really learned tap dancing, so he is really curious about this.

Intermission time came, and the singers came out to perform an opera.

Tap dancing is very tiring. The whole play lasts about two hours, and there will be many intermissions in the middle, which may be operas or solo instruments.

The reason why the various performances are performed separately is to give the actors a rest. The singer sings to give the dancers a rest, and the dancers give the singer a rest when they dance.

Two hours later, Ye Kai left with the crowd.

It's so shocking!
Ye Kai had never seen a live performance before, whether it was a concert or Peking Opera.I have been to a company party once, but at that time the noise outside the venue was even louder than on the stage.

So this is Ye Kai's first time watching a stage performance.

awesome.

Indeed, he lived up to his expectations. If he had the chance next time, Ye Kai would like to watch other tap dance dramas. Also, when he returned to Huaxia, he would also go to see Peking Opera performances.

Although Ye Kai never really liked listening to Peking opera, but they are all the quintessence of the country, and it is impossible for his own country to be weaker than other countries.

Give yourself another chance to understand the quintessence of the country.

It was dark when he appeared on stage, and it was seven or eight o'clock in the evening when the Irish had dinner. Ye Kai was also hungry, so he walked out of Trinity University and took a bus to Grafton Street for dinner.

Grafton Street is one of the two most important shopping streets in Ireland and the fifth-ranked shopping street in the world. The location is not far from Ye Kai's hotel.

Grafton Street starts from St. Stephen's Park in the south and ends at College Park in the north. Yekai's hotel is located in St. Stephen's Park.

This is the place Ye Kai often comes to these days. After a day of traveling, he returns to his residence, drinks a cup of coffee in the cafe, or orders a cup of Guinness beer at the bar.

The fatigue of the day is gone.
