论仪式对当代戏剧艺术空间的拓展:以赖声川《如梦之梦》为例

Rituals as Expansions of Artistic Capacity in Contemporary Theatre: a Study of Lai Shengchuan's A Dream like a Dream

仪式进入当代戏剧,在艺术形式、精神疆域、场能效应等方面开拓了新的空间。以赖声川的《如梦之梦》为例,在动作层面,仪式的原型构造了该剧包括形体、情节、场景在内的基础模式;在觉知层面,仪式中的古老智慧试图解开现代精神困局;在场能层面,仪式创造了剧场中观演交融的神圣时刻。

Rituals have enlarged the capacity of theatre in its artistic forms, intellectual realms, and effects on audience in the theatre. Lai Shengchuan＇s A Dream like a Dream exemplifies how the archetypes of rituals construct basic patterns within the play such as movement, plot, and setting, how the antique wisdom in ritual is adopted in the attempt to solve the spiritual predicaments of modern people, and how rituals help bring out the sacred interaction between the actors and the audience.
