法国剧作家拉戛尔斯戏剧创作初探

On the Dramaturgy of Jean-Luc Lagarce

让—吕克·拉戛尔斯称得上是法国最有影响力的当代剧作家之一。他的作品对荒诞戏剧的一些重要特征进行了继承和发展,又体现出后现代戏剧的特征。他在作品中有意弱化人物的行动和情节发展,从而使得语言占据到一个更加重要的位置。拉戛尔斯作品中的语言迂回曲折,在无止尽的重复和修正中构建诗意性。他坚定地将语言置于戏剧的核心,邀请观众进入剧场,探索语言的界限,发现其中的陷阱,激发出属于观众个人的想象和情感,揭露人类关系和生存的本质。研究拉戛尔斯作品的创作特征,也让我们窥见了西方现当代戏剧形式的转变轨迹。
