Study On Gao Xingjian's Experimental Drama Theory And Creation

The increasingly relaxed era atmosphere and active cultural and ideological environment in the 1980 s and 1990 s provided favorable conditions for the development of drama.Coupled with the dramatic crisis in the 1980 s and the influx of western modern drama,it stimulated many exploration spirits.The dramatist seeks new changes.Gao Xingjian,as the most representative experimental dramatist,not only created a series of highly exploratory experimental dramas with anti-traditional meanings in terms of form and content,but also conducted fruitful explorations in theories of drama.His unique drama has played an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of contemporary Chinese drama.This article takes Gao Xingjian's experimental theatrical theory and dramatic works as research objects,aiming at exploring the new dramatic thinking he has developed for experimental drama and the high artistic value of his plays.As a theoretical dramatist,Gao Xingjian's exploration of drama theory provided a solid support for the establishment of experimental drama.First of all,it highlights the integration of theatrical performances and shows that theatre is an instant feature of theatrical arts.Performers are located here and are forming a common communication at this time to complete the performance.Secondly,it is emphasized that the assumption of drama is to make the hypothetical environment behave as a real drama,and to reveal the process of disguising to the audience as much as possible,and thus,the author performs free time-space conversion in the creation and selects flexible stage art.Finally,the comprehensive proposal is to create a complete drama with the help of drama,process,contrast,change,discovery,and surprise.Based on the author's system theory,his experimental drama works therefore have a different kind of artistic charm.In Gao Xingjian's plays,the works of the1980 s provided a novel paradigm for the breakthrough in the form of drama in the new era.The works of the 1990 s had newer breakthroughs in ideological content and artistic spirit.Many of his plays reflect three aspects of artistic exploration.First of all,it constructs a polyphonic polyphony drama,which uses a multi-line representation model and multi-dimensional narrative clues to present the rich and diverse drama.Second,psychological drama is created by externalizing the inner conflict of thecharacter and the mind's oscillation.In the end,he was deeply influenced by the Eastern culture and he became more and more affirmative of Zen thoughts in the play,thus establishing a modern Zen drama.Gao Xingjian's experimental drama did not meet the aesthetic expectations of most people in the 1980 s,but he found the dawn of dramatic crisis in the new period,renewed people's cognition of theatrical aesthetics,and also produced positive effects on the multivariate evolution of theatre in the 1990s.
