当代戏剧艺术家田沁鑫改写元杂剧《赵氏孤儿》,新作沿用原题,两部作品在时间轴上相隔近八个世纪,虽同为悲剧,却在艺术风貌上具有较大差异。本文试通过文本细读的方法来比较这两部同题剧本。置放在20世纪的文化语境之下,两部《赵氏孤儿》的差异可以在五四时期的戏剧实践中找到原型。 Tian Qinxin, a contemporary dramatic artist, rewrote the Yuan drama Zhaoyuan Orphan. The new works followed the original title. Although the two works were separated by nearly eight centuries on the time axis, they are quite different in artistic style though they are tragedies. This article tries to compare the two versions of the same script through textual reading. Putting it under the cultural context of the 20th century, the differences between the two “orphan” children can be found in the drama of the May 4th Movement.
