“万比洛夫之谜”在中国——论万比洛夫对中国当代话剧创作的启发性价值

“The Puzzle of Vampilov” in China——On the Implications of Vampilov to the Creation of Contemporary Chinese Dramas

万比洛夫是苏联剧坛的一个传奇式人物—英年早逝,创作有限,但部部经典;虽有极高的艺术水准,却长时间被苏联剧坛埋没;其剧作人物可以有多重解读方式,对主旨的判断也可以千差万别……诸多的不寻常使世界范围内的学界提出了"万比洛夫之谜"这个概念。对于中国当代剧坛来说,"万比洛夫之谜"还有其他的含义,那就是万比洛夫为何在中国影响甚小?他在中国的传播为何不被重视?事实上,万比洛夫独特的创作风格和极高的艺术审美趣味对中国当代话剧创作具有启发性价值。尤其是在中国当代话剧遭遇瓶颈的时候,中国编剧可以将目光投向这个尚未开发的巨大矿藏,挖掘万比洛夫的价值,积极去研究、借鉴和学习。万比洛夫至今对中国的影响如此有限,既是一种遗憾,也是一种机会。他重新进入中国戏剧界和中国观众的欣赏范围,对中国当代剧坛的发展是有重要意义的。

Dying early and with limited but remarkable works, Alexander Valentinovich Vampilov is a legend in the history of Soviet dramas. Although with highly artistic accomplishments, his works were forgotten by the circle of Soviet dramas for a long time ; the characters in his dramas can be interpreted from different perspectives; and the themes in his drama can be defined in radically different ways ＂＇＂ so many unusual elements of Vampilov made the academic circles worldwide come up with the concept of ＂Puzzle of Vampilov＂ . However, the reason why Vampilov draws insufficient attention in China adds another layer of meaning to the ＂puzzle＂ in the circle of Chinese dramas. In fact, Vampilov＇ s unique writing style and artistic aesthetic tastes have a significant and inspiring value to the circle of contemporary Chinese dramas, and deserve active research and study by Chinese playwrights, especially when the Chinese contemporary drama undergoes its bottleneck period. Vampilov＇ s not being highly recognized in China is a regret but more of an opportunity. Vampilov＇ s re-entering the stage of the circle of Chinese dramas is of great value to the development of contemporary Chinese dramas.
