※ 引述《ETTT (ETTT)》之銘言:
: 1.最近讀了 一些劇本
: The Room, and The Birthday Party (by Pinter)
: 加上以前讀過的 The Homecoming and
: The Dumb Waiter
: 覺得一樣像謎 不知到底劇本要講什麼
: 但弔詭的是劇本因此有多種詮釋的可能
: 2. 讀“Rhinoceros”( by Ionesco) 則容易懂多了
: 同時想起他寫的 The Chairs
: 後者的感覺很像 Samuel Beckett 的
: Waiting for Godot
: (板主抱歉, 以下用英文可以嗎? 受不了了,
: 中文輸入真的很慢很慢)
: 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.
我覺得劇中等待的人們,嘲諷著人類習於現實中呆板的生活。
我們不去質疑生活的意義,反而苟且地活著;
不去開發自己的思想,反而等待別人的指令。
那麼活著是為什麼?等著別人發號施令?還是等著任人宰割?
從小課本就告訴我們人類是群居的動物,
但對社會制度效忠的同時,人們似乎忘了獨立思考的能力和重要性。
看著身旁的人渾渾噩噩,以為自己也得這樣生活,
就在這種環境中,我們被訓練成像專家的狗:
看來頗有思想,其實沒有主人連出門都怕怕。
寫到這裡我又想到另一個劇本---群盲。
當有一天我們信仰的人倒下,又該何去何從?
或許這些劇作家只是想提醒我們該思考了!
在努力工作圖謀溫飽之餘,想想自己活著還能幹嘛吧..
本來覺得這類劇本很無聊,聽過紀杯形容它的表演方式後,
很想看看現場演出..
融合了雜技的表演應該有趣的不得了,
讓觀眾哈哈大笑之餘,還能讓大家動動腦筋,
如果國內有這種表演可以通知一下嗎?
我好想多接觸西方現代戲劇喔...
