标题Re: [讨论] 联想 Waiting for Godot and The Chairs

※ 引述《ETTT (ETTT)》之铭言:
: 1.最近读了 一些剧本
: The Room, and The Birthday Party (by Pinter)
: 加上以前读过的 The Homecoming and
: The Dumb Waiter
: 觉得一样像谜 不知到底剧本要讲什麽
: 但吊诡的是剧本因此有多种诠释的可能
: 2. 读“Rhinoceros”( by Ionesco) 则容易懂多了
: 同时想起他写的 The Chairs
: 後者的感觉很像 Samuel Beckett 的
: Waiting for Godot
: (板主抱歉, 以下用英文可以吗? 受不了了,
: 中文输入真的很慢很慢)
: The couple parallels the two tramps. Both pairs of
: characters are “waiting” for someone or something
: that will change their condition , bring meanings
: to their life, and carry the message for them.
: For Beckett, there is no such a person or a thing that
: can fulfill such a desire and longing; that is why Godot
: never appears. We humans can do nothing about the fruitless,
: purposeless existence. And Ionesco seems to express
: the same idea in a different way. Godot finally shows up in “The
: Chairs’ in the name of the orator, who the old couple are desperately
: expecting. The orator is supposed to send or carry messages about the
: meaning of life. Ironically and poignantly, it turns out that he is
: both dumb and deaf. What he can make is only blurring sounds
: without any meanings. I feel the human situation in The Chairs
: is more depressing and saddening because it is very certain that
: there is no hope left while at least the two tramps can keep waiting.
我觉得剧中等待的人们,嘲讽着人类习於现实中呆板的生活。
我们不去质疑生活的意义,反而苟且地活着;
不去开发自己的思想,反而等待别人的指令。
那麽活着是为什麽?等着别人发号施令?还是等着任人宰割?
从小课本就告诉我们人类是群居的动物,
但对社会制度效忠的同时,人们似乎忘了独立思考的能力和重要性。
看着身旁的人浑浑噩噩,以为自己也得这样生活,
就在这种环境中,我们被训练成像专家的狗:
看来颇有思想,其实没有主人连出门都怕怕。
写到这里我又想到另一个剧本---群盲。
当有一天我们信仰的人倒下,又该何去何从?
或许这些剧作家只是想提醒我们该思考了!
在努力工作图谋温饱之余,想想自己活着还能干嘛吧..
本来觉得这类剧本很无聊,听过纪杯形容它的表演方式後,
很想看看现场演出..
融合了杂技的表演应该有趣的不得了,
让观众哈哈大笑之余,还能让大家动动脑筋,
如果国内有这种表演可以通知一下吗?
我好想多接触西方现代戏剧喔...
