戏曲美学的若干问题——阿甲遗稿摘录三

Several Problems of Theatre Aesthetics:A Jia's Posthumous Manuscript(Ⅲ)

中国艺术讲究神韵虚实,能够将其在舞台上充分运用的便是戏曲。长期以来凝练在中华民族艺术中的诸如虚实相生、形神兼备、以少总多等等美学思想,融化到戏剧中,再以戏曲舞台的特殊个性表现出来。戏曲舞台的表演,其中虚拟是本质的东西。上下场和所有对时空的处理是最大的虚拟。虚拟主要是表现人的力量不是表现物的力量。虚拟是人的本质力量在戏曲舞台上的想象化的体现。

Chinese art stresses divinity and a compound of truth and dream. Theatre gives full play of these artistic principles. It applies aesthetic thoughts such as a compound of truth and dream, unity of form and spirit, and less is more to stage performance. The virtual is the most important thing in theatre stage performing. The virtual is mainly representing characters but not things. The virtual is an imaginative embodiment of humang essential power in stage.
