舞台美术作为方法论——2023布拉格演出设计与空间四年展述评

Stage Art as Methodology:Review of the Prague Quadrennial 2023

2023布拉格四年展从主场馆的选择到多个参展国家和地区的主题,都显示出将带有社会和历史文脉的公共空间剧场化的倾向。在这些现象中,舞台美术曾经面对的戏剧条件,场景、人物、演员、文本、时空和现实与虚拟、看与被看等关系,在很大程度上被延展或替换。舞台美术也正在从描绘性的演出视觉因素,扩大到空间和作用于所有感官的无形精神氛围;从制作布景转向发现和应用“布景”;从传统的工作模式和结构,转向更加跨学科的团队合作;从过去表面上的具体专业分工和属性,上升为一种更宽泛意义的方法论。这样的一种思维方式,也许会使四年展长久以来面临的展览与戏剧的关系问题,有一个更清晰有力的应对支点。

From the location to the themes of the Prague Quadrennial 2023,we are witnessing the integration of theatricality into public spaces with social and historical contexts.This integration has led to significant expansions and replacements in various aspects of stage art,including scenes,characters,actors,texts,time and space,reality and virtuality,and the dynamics of seeing and being seen.all deciding factors of stage art,have been significantly expanded or replaced.Meanwhile.Stage art,which was once primarily focused on visual background,has now evolved into an art that engage all the senses of the audience.It involves not only the creation of sets but also discovering and utilization of"sets."Traditional working modes are being replaced by cross-disciplinary collaborations.The once clear-cut professional divisions and descriptions are giving way to a more general methodology.This way of thinking may shed light on the question of the relationship between exhibitions and theatre,which the Prague Quadrennial 2023 has been concerned about fora long time.
