On the evening of January 31, in the "Drama and Music" small theater on the second floor of Times Square in the downtown area, the local original youth experimental drama "Green and Red" staged its debut, presenting the audience with a new experience of "opera + drama" in the innovative form of "Taichung Taiwan" and "drama within a play".
"Green and Red" made its debut in the "Drama and Fun" small theater.
As the first work of the "Artistic Practice" of the talent training project of Wenzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism, "Green and White" is directed by Li Tao and Fang Ru, written by Qin Fang, and directed by Ye Xi.
This play innovatively integrates traditional opera and contemporary drama, and brings the mix and match of "play within a play" to the extreme. On the stage of this "play within a play", in the play, it is the Ou Opera Troupe rehearsing the traditional drama "The Legend of the White Snake"; Outside the play, the actors interrupted rehearsals several times due to successive life trivialities, emotional entanglements, family conflicts, and differences in interpretation of the script. In and out of the play, the stories are intertwined and echoed, playing both the role and themselves. The actors enter and exit the play, and wake up from a dream. On and off stage, characters and actors, art and life are intertwined with different life monologues and life choices.
Different from the traditional stage, the director did not put the characters in the play on the shelf, but chose to use opera singing, dance rapping, inner monologue and other processing methods to promote the plot, so that the audience was full of emotion and thinking, and this has become the key to the play's "out of the circle".
Is such a drama just a flash in the pan, or will a hundred flowers bloom in the future? Lucheng, in fact, has already given the answer. Since last year, Lucheng District has established a small theater alliance to explore and plan a new path for the development of business formats. Different from the theme repertoire created by ** in the past, "Green and White" actively tries to operate for the market, and performs in the small theater space of the first batch of member units of the Small Theater Alliance, the first batch of member units of the Small Theater Alliance.
Launched the brand practice of "drama from Wenzhou", and the theaters of all sizes in Lucheng presented a vigorous ecology of "unique scenery here". It is reported that according to the "Millennium Doucheng" New Year series of cultural activities launched by Lucheng, all large and small theaters in Lucheng will continue to operate during the Spring Festival, and send cultural feasts such as dramas, talk shows, and operas to the public, so that everyone can have a "drama addiction".
