人偶同台的实质:写实或仿真——以话剧《战马》演出为例

Verisimilitude: The Essence of Simultaneous Appearance of Puppets and Human Actors——A Study on War Horse

《战马》是几年前中国国家话剧院从英国引进的演出剧目。在《战马》的演出中,最值得我们关注的创新不是人偶同台,也不是暴露操控者,而是写实,也可以叫做逼真或仿真,特别是关节的仿真。这一问题值得反思。

The British stage play, War Horse, was introduced to China by National Theatre of China several years ago. In the experience of War Horse, the most noteworthy innovation is neither the exposure of puppeteers on the stage nor the simultaneous appearance of puppets and human actors. Instead, verisimilitude, especially verisimilitude of horse joints is worthy of consideration.
