在20世纪的西方戏剧史中,安托南·阿尔托可以被认为是最成功的预言家。他在30年代提出的“残酷戏剧”理论,到60年代之后,成为西方戏剧最具影响力的思潮。在这方面,人们一般只注意到彼得·布鲁克和他的后现代主义戏剧,而事实上,从某种意义上说,阿莉安娜·姆努什金与她的太阳剧社,在东方主义的层面上更彻底地实现了阿尔托的“残酷戏剧”理想。 In the history of Western drama in the 20th century, Antoine Alto can be considered the most successful prophet. His theory of “brutal drama” put forward in the 1930s became the most influential trend in Western drama after the 1960s. In this respect, one generally only notices Peter Brooke and his postmodernist plays, but in fact, in a sense, Alirian Mushkin and her Cirque du Soleil, at the Orientalist level Aalto more completely realized the “brutal drama” ideal.
