“跨文化京剧”的历程与困境

History and predicament of cross-cultural Beijing Opera

"跨文化京剧"的百年历程可划分为初创、低潮、停滞和高潮四个阶段,这一曲折历程既反映了"跨文化京剧"的艰难成长,同时也映照出我国社会文化环境的巨大变化。虽然已创作了50多部剧作,但它至今未走出困境:有的剧目已到多国演出,而且受到外国观众好评,但真正的商业演出却几乎没有;在国内的上座率每况愈下,绝大多数剧目很快被历史遗忘,而且指斥其"不伦不类,非驴非马"的声音一直不绝于耳。在"保护非物质文化遗产"的语境中,"跨文化京剧"仍然有其独特的价值,但它既需要尽可能准确地传播优秀的外来文化,又必须注意保持京剧的剧种特色,否则难以获得广泛认同。

The one-hundred-year history of cross-cultural Beijing opera is made up of four stages of dawn,low ebb,stagnation and upsurge.The one hundred years have witnessed the hardships in the development of cross-cultural Beijing opera as well as the drastic social and cultural changes in China.Though more than 50plays have been written,cross-cultural Beijing opera has not yet got out of predicament till now;though some plays have been performed all around the world and won acclaim of the foreign audience,commercial performances are very few;domestic occupancy is unsatisfactory and criticisms like 'neither fish nor fowl' never ceases.In the background of cultural heritage protection,cross-cultural Beijing opera has its unique value.However,to win more approbation,it needs to introduce the excellent foreign cultures and at the same time preserve its distinctions.
