摘要:: 《茶馆》的出国演出是中国新时期以来文化交流史上的盛事,对于其经典地位的确立有着重要意义。其在国外演出引起的轰动效应,不仅缘于剧本所具有的超阶级、超时代、超地域的人类“共性”与悲剧意味以及对中国半个世纪社会生活史诗般的生动呈现,还由于其在艺术上的现代品格和东方神韵,对国外观众“期待视野”的应合及拓新。《茶馆》跨文化跨国界演出的成功及产生的交流与互动,是中国话剧与外国话剧平等对话并反向影响外国话剧的成功范例,对于中国当代话剧史的书写和戏剧美学的建构必然产生深远的影响。

Abstract:: The overseas performance of Cha guan茶馆(Tea House)has been a grand event in the history of China’s cultural exchange with foreign countries since the founding of new China. This is very significant to the establishment of Cha guan as a modern classic. The fantastic effect on the audience exerted by the successful overseas performance of this great play is due to its tragic appeal, its pursuit of universal human values shared by all classes, times and regions, and its vivid epic display of China’s social life in the first half of the 20th century. The success is also attributable to its artistic modernity and eastern charm and its adaptation to the expectation of foreign audiences. The successful cross-cultural performance of Cha guan and the cultural exchanges it has promoted constitute a good example for the Sino-foreign dialogue concerning theatre on an equal footing, which have exerted some positive effects on the foreign plays. All this is sure to have a lasting effect on the writing of the history of contemporary theatre and the construction of theatrical aesthetics.
