2002年美国华裔剧作家黄哲伦重新诠释经典作品《花鼓歌》。新剧在百老汇上演后,获得了各界一致的赞扬。纵观《花鼓歌》不同的版本,华裔美国人的身份认同以及他们对待传统文化的理解经历了曲折的变化和发展之路。在新剧中,不论是人物还是剧作家,他们的身份认同均反映出:构建两种文化融合的混合身份认同;对族裔文化的态度由疏远走向亲近;对待华裔美国身份的理解,呈现出了辩证发展、离散的内涵。 In 2002, the American Chinese playwright Huang Zhelun reinterpret the classic “Flower Drum Song.” After the drama premiered on Broadway, it gained unanimous praise from all walks of life. Throughout the different editions of “Flower Drum Song,” the understanding of Chinese Americans and their understanding of traditional culture has experienced a tortuous path of change and development. In the new drama, both the characters and the playwright, their identities all reflect: the establishment of a hybrid identity between two cultures; the attitude towards ethnic cultures from an estranged to an intimacy; the understanding of the identity of Chinese Americans presents Dialectical development, discrete connotation.
