Sina page on June 15 reported that Duong Liping spoke up after being criticized by a part of the audience on social networks.
She said that the costumes and movements of the male actors in the Peacock Dance were chosen to suit the character they were portraying, not erotic or offensive as criticized. They all adhered closely to the content of the story conveyed on stage with their own artistic intentions. She advised the audience to watch the entire performance if possible, and not criticize it because of a few edited images.
Some scenes in the dance were criticized for being sexually suggestive.
The male actor wore tight, flesh-colored clothing that made him look like he was naked on stage.
"The male dancer plays a male peacock who sacrificed all his feathers to gain freedom for the female peacock. This is my favorite and also the most difficult performance. The male dancer does not wear many costumes because at this time he needs to convey his emotions through body language and peak physical form to reveal his inner self for the audience to understand" - Ms. Duong Liping commented.
Yang Liping's troupe toured the peacock dance in many places in China. After some images and video clips were posted online by the audience, they led to criticism from a section of the public. They said that the tight, flesh-colored costumes of the male dancers looked erotic, as if they were naked on stage. In addition, some movements between the male and female dancers were also considered excessive and unsightly.
Dancer Yang Liping, 64, still maintains a slim figure and youthful face. She has performed thousands of performances and toured to more than 50 countries and regions. She is currently the Vice President of the Chinese Dance Association. With her beauty that has hardly changed, Yang Liping is admired as someone who possesses timeless beauty.
Duong Le Binh is known as "The Peacock of the Dance Village"
She is also admired for her timeless beauty.
