论作为跨国的民族戏剧的“华文戏剧”

On“Chinese Drama”as a Transnational National Drama

“华文戏剧”观念意蕴深厚,它使新世纪民族戏剧获得新内涵,也以华人戏剧一体化探索的独异性,显示出戏剧文化史观的突破。尽管它当年的命名是仓促的、带有某些权宜性,但是,它表明在90年代市场化带来的艺术乱象中,戏剧人最先预感到了全球化思潮涌动带来的文化变局,断然开始破茧而出,尝试区域的、跨界的联合、联制,逐步在确立一种真正国族戏剧的视角。“华文戏剧”以若水的流动性,冲破历史冻土层,撬开各中华文化遮蔽区的疆界,追求着戏剧观念、美学、艺术和方法的鲜活流动,多地分享,它所建构的是一种动态选择的有可能与“世界戏剧”重叠的全新的“文化戏剧”,其三个最具价值和最具有标识性的特征是:由多地性、多音性聚合的和声形态;华人故事的世界表达;呼唤和生成强烈的共同体意识。

The concept of“Chinese drama”has profound meaning,which makes the national drama acquire new connotation in the new century,and also shows the breakthrough of the historical view of drama culture with the unique characteristic of the integrated exploration of Chinese drama.Although it was named hastily and with some expediency,it showed that in the artistic chaos brought by the market in the 1990s,the theater people had the first premonition of the cultural changes brought by the surging trend of globalization,and they resolutely began to break out of the cocoon,try regional and cross-border union and association,and gradually establish a real perspective of national drama.With the water-like fluidity,“Chinese drama”breaks through the frozen soil of history,prying open the boundaries of the sheltered areas of various aspects of Chinese cultures,pursuing the fresh flow and sharing of dramatic ideas,aesthetics,arts and methods.What it constructs is a new“cultural drama”that is dynamically selected and may overlap with“world drama”.The three most valuable and distinctive features are:1.The harmonic form of multi-locality and multi-tone convergence;2.World expression of Chinese stories;3.Call for and generate a strong sense of community.
