第十届中国戏剧节新创剧目简论

A Survey of the Plays Staged on the 10th Chinese Drama Festival

第十届中国戏剧节上展演的新创剧目在题材上有向政治剧和底层生活剧集中的趋势。政治剧都以历史剧的形式出现,多表现凶险的政治强力和善良人性及人类基本正面价值之间的悲剧性冲突;底层生活剧则都在当前的时空中表现社会、经济、精神资源严重匮乏的下层人民的生活实况。剧作家对这两大题材的开掘和表现在思想上超越了以往的深度,在艺术上具有更强烈的情感冲击力。它们标志了新世纪以来戏剧创作基本的取材方向和艺术水平。

The plays staged on the 10th Chinese Drama Festival appeared to be concentrated on the subjects of political and lower class, The political dramas usually take the form of histories, and represent the tragical conflict between the cruel political power and human＇s fundamental positive values. The lower class dramas exclusively set in the present times and paint the life scenes of the lower class who are terribly disadvantaged socially, economically and spiritually. These plays surpassed their precedents of the same subject matter in artistic quality and the depth of insight.
