情艺交织,明变守常——论陈彦《主角》的叙事艺术及主题意蕴

Interweaving of Emotion and Art,Adhering to principles in Changes:On narrative art and theme implication of Chen Yan′s Protagonist

陕西作家陈彦的长篇小说《主角》讲述了秦腔名伶忆秦娥半生的荣辱得失、贵贱毁誉以及以她为代表的秦腔表演剧团在时代变迁裹挟下的几度兴衰沉浮。作家在根植现实主义写作手法的同时,融合了古典文学的表现技巧与传统文化哲思来铺陈情节,将主人公忆秦娥的成长经历与秦腔这项古老的戏剧艺术相联结,以个人命运之浮沉写出了传统戏剧更迭发展的艰辛历程。在《主角》中,陈彦延续了其一贯的创作理念,秉持着戏剧工作者和作家的双重文化使命对秦腔表演艺术予以深切观照,并对传统曲艺在当代的价值意义与传承发展问题予以了深刻的省思。
