Zhang Yimou is among the first generation of filmmakers to work under the restrictive eye of the People’s Republic of China; he is also among the first to have his movies distributed abroad, where they have gained international acclaim. His “Raise the Red Lantern” (1991), which depicted the concubinage of a university student to a feudal lord, was nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign-language film. Mr. Zhang’s adaptation of the movie to the stage, performed by the National Ballet of China, made its New York City premiere on Tuesday as part of the Next Wave Festival at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
