第八届北京国际戏剧•舞蹈演出季好戏连台

The on-going Beijing International Theater and Dance Festival continues to roll out wow-inspiring shows for the stage. From a children's play to a drama, from modern dancing to belly dancing, the colorful stage offerings are great for this time of year.

“第八届北京国际戏剧•舞蹈演出季”正在进行当中，来自世界各地的精彩戏剧作品和舞蹈演出已经在北京的各大剧院上演。为北京的观众们带来了一场又一场的视觉盛宴。从本土儿童剧到英国戏剧，从现代舞到肚皮舞，精彩不断，值得推荐。

A children's play called "Andox and Blackie" is examining the impact of pollution on our daily lives. The story is set sometime in the future when the world is ruled by a giant Plastic Monster who seeks to destroy the fire that symbolizes hope. Andox and Blackie, a pair of brothers, venture into the secret forest searching for the fire in order to save the world from being destroyed by Plastic Monster.

作为本届戏剧舞蹈演出季中唯一一部儿童剧作品，环保亲子舞台剧《安逗与黑仔》，以“低碳环保”为主题，以“亲子互动沟通”为主旨，讲述了正义使者：安逗和黑仔智斗塑料大魔王的故事。安逗和黑仔用各具特色的人物性格在教会小朋友如何与小伙伴团结合作、面对困难的同时，更用感人的剧情播撒了浓浓的亲子之情。

The drama, entitled "Happiness. Com", probes into today's young people's struggle to find genuine happiness. The lead character gets depressed after going through being laid-off, breaking-up and enduring overwhelming pressure from the family. He then decides to work as a teacher in a remote village and returns to a simpler life.

同样主打温情牌的还有都市情感话剧新作《幸福.COM》。男主角在经历失恋、分手和来自父母朋友的不断压力之后，终于决定远离城市的喧嚣，来到小山村支教，过简单、清幽的生活，并在那里收获了自己的爱情。虽然全剧充满了生活的苦涩、辛酸和种种不如意，但是结局依旧温馨团圆。
