流散表征下的戏剧实验与人文关怀——南非剧作家阿索尔·富加德创作论

Theatre Experiment and Humanistic Care under the Diasporic Reflection: On the Creation of South African Playwright Athol Fugard

南非剧作家阿索尔·富加德的戏剧创作历经六十余载,为南非英语戏剧走向世界剧坛做出了突出贡献。富加德的戏剧尤为关注南非流散群体的边缘化处境与身份困境。他通过剧场式、即兴式的戏剧实验,将西方现代、后现代戏剧的精神理念与美学范式移置于20世纪南非的历史语境中,集中突显了南非异邦流散者、本土流散者、殖民流散者的流散表征,为南非戏剧注入了平等、包容、多元的人文关怀与人道主义精神,见证了种族隔离制度下南非的历史真相,推动了南非社会走向民主与和解。
