论抗敌演剧队的剧目建设与演出活动

A Study on the Repertoire Construction and Performances of Anti-Japanese Drama Teams

抗敌演剧队是为宣传抗战而组建的话剧团体,这个团体在极为艰苦的条件下将话剧这一新的艺术形式带到了战火纷飞的前线和广袤蔽塞的乡村,为抗战动员做出了重要贡献。抗敌演剧队组建初期,由于演出条件简陋,民众文化程度偏低,以及观众群体的分散性和流动性,导致已有的剧本无法达到演出的宣传要求,出现严重的“剧本荒”,他们通过自创剧本、即兴表演或改编已有剧本,克服了无剧可演的困境;在演出过程中,为了达到宣传效果,又普遍出现了“过火表演”的状况。尽管如此,抗敌演剧队仍然为我们留下了众多有一定艺术质量、宣传效果极佳的作品,这些作品激越嘹亮的高亢音调,成为民族抗战动员的最强声音。在国难当头之际,抗敌演剧队一切为了抗战、一切为了宣传的战斗精神和牺牲精神,在中国话剧史上留下了光辉的一页。

The anti-Japanese drama teams were organizations established to propagate the Anti-Japanese War.They brought these new art form to the front and the isolated villages under extremely hard conditions,which contributed greatly to stimulate people to resist enemies.At the beginning of establishment,these teams suffered a great shortage of scripts.The existing scripts could not meet the needs of the performance because of the poor performance conditions and the audiences’low-level education,great mobility and dispersivity.Therefore,these teams were forced to create new scripts,make improvised performances or adapt existing scripts to handle the difficult situation.Some teams even performed very exaggerately in order to achieve the propaganda effect.Despite all this,the anti-Japanese drama teams still left us many plays of artistic quality and publicity effect.The exciting and loud tones of these works had become the strongest voice of national Anti-Japanese War Mobilization.When our coutry was in face with a great crisis,these teams’fighting spirit and sacrifice spirit for the war and propaganda has left a glorious page in the history of Chinese drama.
