被“忽视”的年代:20世纪90年代中国芭蕾舞剧创作再审视

The “Neglected” Era:a Re-examination of Chinese Ballet Creation in the 1990s

中国芭蕾舞史和中国舞剧史对20世纪90年代的芭蕾舞剧创作关注不足,以至90年代在中国芭蕾舞剧史的书写中成为相对被“忽视”的历史时期。事实上,20世纪90年代中国芭蕾舞剧创作很活跃,作品也较多。这个时期因受文化体制改革影响,承上启下,所以成为中国芭蕾舞剧创作开拓与求索的重要阶段。文章聚焦《雁南飞》《红楼幻想曲》《梁山伯与祝英台》《玄凤》《大足石魂》等芭蕾舞剧作品,对20世纪90年代中国芭蕾舞剧创作展开分析,并认为,在文化体制的突围中,这一时期芭蕾舞剧具有的现代派先锋意识和民族文化情怀,为21世纪中国芭蕾舞剧发展奠定了重要基础。文章力图通过分析20世纪90年代中国芭蕾舞剧创作的相关评论和个案访谈,旨在更深入把握该时期芭蕾舞剧创作发展特质,阐明它在中国芭蕾舞剧发展史上的重要价值。

The history of Chinese ballet and dance dramas has paid insufficient attention to ballet creation in the 1990s,leading this decade to be a relatively “neglected” period in the written history of Chinese ballet.In fact,a large number of ballet works were produced in the 1990s.Influenced by cultural system reforms,this period served as a crucial transitional phase for the expansion and exploration of Chinese ballet creation.This paper focuses on ballet works such as The Wild Goose Flies South,Fantasy of the Red Mansions,Butterfly Lovers,Phoenix,and The Spirit of the Dazu Stones,and analyzes Chinese ballet creation during the 1990s.It argues that the avant-garde modern consciousness and national cultural sentiments contained in ballet dramas during this period laid an important foundation for the development of Chinese ballet in the new century.Based on relevant critiques and case interviews,the paper aims to gain deeper insights into the distinctive qualities of ballet creation in the 1990s,highlighting its significance in the history of Chinese ballet development.
