对传统的彻底反叛——荒诞派戏剧特征谈

A Complete Anti-tradition ——On Features of Absurdist Drama Are Anti-traditional

上世纪五十年代欧美兴起的荒诞派戏剧彻底颠覆了传统戏剧,根本改变现有的戏剧观念。本文从语言,情节及人物刻画方面探讨了荒诞剧一些显著特点,分析了这种戏剧产生的社会原因及时代背景,指出了其作为"反戏剧"与传统戏剧的显著差异,以及它用变形的审美手段来反映二战后西方世界的凋零和荒芜,阐述了该种戏剧从最初遭受非议排斥到最终为人接受的一些过程。

The Theatre of the Absurd, which came into being in the fifties of the last century, totally subverts the ideas of traditional drama.

Some comparisons have been made about marked differences between Absurdist theatre and traditional drama. Some of social factors that contribute to the rise of this drama are analyzed, and its aesthetic function is discussed in terms of indirect representation of social realities of the Western world after the Second World War.
