传奇而现代的故事诱惑与情感震撼——从故事模式看曹禺对剧场性的追求

Legendary and Yet Modern Lure of and Sentimentality in the Story: Cao Yu's Pursuit of Theatrical Effects in the Light of Story Modes

曹禺创造的戏剧故事是一种既带有传奇色彩又具有现代性特征的故事。它以畸形性爱为主导,诱惑受众的审美注意;以逃出监牢为核心,引导受众的审美层层推进;以贫富对立和长幼人生循环为基点,激起受众的怜悯与共鸣;以悖谬性为内在特征,形成复调性艺术效果,这就形成了既简明又丰富,既浅易又富于深味的故事模式,突出了审美接受的层次性,产生切合不同审美主体的可能性,把握了不同受众的情感闸门,广泛地撞击了受众的心灵,形成一种审美内驱力。因为抓住了受众的情绪与心理,牵引着受众的思想,所以产生了强烈的戏剧场势与张力。正是这样,曹禺的戏剧获得了很强的生命力。
