个人、国家与历史之间——当代俄罗斯剧作家叶·格列米娜的历史剧作解读

Among the Individual,the State and the History——On the Historical Plays of Contemporary Russian Playwright E.Gremina

叶·格列米娜的历史剧通常是选取真实的历史人物或历史事件,以此为出发点,对历史展开丰富的联想和大胆的假设。剧作家更经常将个人命运融入国家、时代的历史悲剧中,以此考察国家历史中的各种怪现象,提醒当代人引以为戒。其剧本从内容到形式都显示出剧作家独特的戏剧思考:独白式的对话贯穿剧本始终,善于揭示人物的心理,倒叙、插叙随处可见,互文现象不时闪现,尾声专为介绍人物后续故事而设。剧作家试图凭借自己对历史的独特认识及另类把握,以唤醒俄罗斯人沉睡的记忆。

For historical plays, Gremina usually chooses the real historical figures or events, based on which her rich imagination and audacious assumption develop. More often, the playwright integrates an individual＇s destiny into the historical tragedies of the country and the time to investigate all kinds of strange phenomena in the state history so that the contemporaries shall take warning from them. In Gremina＇s plays, she demonstrates her unique dramatic thinking both in content and form; her monologue dominated dialogues run through the whole play; profound and full disclosure of the characters＇ psychology, flashbacks and narration interspersed with flashbacks are exposed everywhere, intertextuality is used from time to time; besides, the epilogue is designed specifically for the following-up stories of the characters. The playwright attempts to awaken the sleeping memory of the Russian people with her own peculiar understanding and exceptional mastery of history.
