在世界语境中讲好中国故事——以敦煌题材的舞蹈创作为例

Telling the Chinese Stories Well in the International Context:Case of the Creation of Dance Themed on Dunhuang

敦煌题材的舞剧不胜枚举,但改革开放后中国第一部以此为题材创作的大型民族舞剧《丝路花雨》,40年来一直受到文化界的整体关注,此种现象并不多见。敦煌题材的舞蹈创作如何能在世界语境中讲好中国故事呢?敦煌好故事,既是“千年生命”的敦煌文化故事,也有当今敦煌“供养人”的故事。“讲好敦煌故事”并非指狭义的“情节叙事”,而是广义的“文化叙事”,涉及话语技巧和叙述行为,体现在舞蹈创作上,则可以涵盖“重建”并探索敦煌乐舞的剧场形态,创作叙事性民族舞剧,以及进行当代审美的舞蹈剧场或跨界总体艺术尝试等。

There are countless dance drama themed on Dunhuang,however,it is not common that the first grand ethnic dance drama,Romantic Silk Dream(Silu Huayu),created after the Reform and Opening Up,has been concerned by the cultural circle for over 40 years.How can the dance themed on Dunhuang tell Chinese stories well in the context of the world?The good stories of Dunhuang contain not only Dunhuang cultural stories of“life of thousands years”but also stories of Dunhuang“donors”.“Telling Dunhuang sto?ries well”is not about“plot narration”but about general“cultural narration”,which concerns discourse techniques and the act of narrating.There are expressed in the creation of dance,which concern“re-con?struction”and exploration of the theatrical form of Dunhuang dance drama,creation of narrative ethnic dance drama,and experiments on contemporary aesthetic dance theatre or transboundary total arts.
