Feminism in Revolutionary Model Ballets The White-Haired Girl and The Red Detachment of Women

چکیده
Revolutionary model theater (geming yangbanxi) first appeared in the Chinese cultural scene in 1966, the year the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution started. The term model theater was coined to describe, loosely, a collection of revised performing art productions guided by Mao Zedong’s wife Jiang Qing (1914-1992). The earliest official source proclaiming the existence of the model theater was a special news report entitled “Carrying Out Chairman Mao’s Line on Literature and Art: Brilliant Models.” A short editorial on the same page celebrated the birth and significance of these works: Since 1964, under the brilliant radiance of Chairman Mao’s line on literature and art, the high-tide of revolutionary reform in the fields of Beijing opera, of ballet drama, and of symphonic music has swelled. The revolutionary model theater has been created, which consists of five Beijing operas: Shajiabang, The Red Lantern, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, On the Docks, Raid on the White Tiger Regiment; two ballet dramas: The WhiteHaired Girl, The Red Detachment of Women, and the symphony Shajiabang. (Renmin ribao, December 6, 1966)
