现代性冠冕下现代戏曲表演品格的确立--兼论地方高甲戏的浮沉因缘

The Establishment of the Performance Character of“Modern Opera”under the Crown of Modernity:also on the Cause of the Rise and Fall of Local Gaojia Opera

百年来,现代戏曲的范畴、含义一直是个常议常新的重大戏剧命题。戏曲的现代性曾被解读为思想性、启蒙性与文学性。弱化戏曲表演艺术,使表演艺术从轴心走向边缘的行为正在蚕食不少地方剧种的艺术生命。高甲戏,作为拥有丰富丑行表演程式的地方戏曲,它的历史浮沉因缘以一叶知秋的形式让我们窥探到了在戏曲现代性的征程上,尊重剧种独特性、表演程式行当必然会走向辉煌,遗弃则会导致没落。表演行当薪尽火绝,剧种特征混搭稀释,“戏必有技”已蛛网尘封,“看戏看角儿”成明日黄花,这些并非现代戏曲的本意与初衷。在现代性的冠冕下,表演性与启蒙性、思想性应无畛域之别。戏曲表演品格的确立,恰恰足以佐证现代戏曲艺术自觉的成熟与臻善。

For a hundred years,the category and meaning of Modern drama has been a major new drama proposition.The Modernity of traditional opera was once interpreted as ideological,enlightening and literary,and the performing arts moved from the axis to the edge.The weakening of the performing arts is constantly eating away at the artistic life of many local opera species.Gaojia opera,as a local opera with a rich repertoire of clown performances,its cause of ups and downs in history gives us a glimpse of the journey of Modernity in the form of a leaf,the resplendence and broken wing brought by the respect and abandonment of the uniqueness of the theatrical genre and the performing procedure.It is not the original intention and intention of Modern opera that the performing profession is dying out,the characteristics of the opera are mixed and diluted,the cobwebs of“Opera must have skills”are closed,and“Watching the opera and watching the top casts”are in the past.Under the crown of Modernity,there should be no distinction between performance,enlightenment and ideology.The establishment of the character of opera performance is just enough to prove the maturity and perfection of the artistic consciousness of Modern opera.
