Presented by The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat & MUKA Space in conjunction with 110th anniversary of Chinese Drama. From the director of the multi-award winning The Dawns Here Are Quiet & Richard III, comes yet another groundbreaking production.
“Peking Man” was considered the most satisfying work from Cao Yu. Written in 1940, it was also his final work, devoid of his signature Anton Chekhov inspired psychological realism.
“Peking Man” describes the transformation of an old Chinese feudal family. It is a process that objectively presents the decline of a once-prominent scholar-official family into total collapse. Cao Yu emphasizes on interpreting the contradiction and conflicts among the three generations of grandchildren within the family. This is an elegant play that portrays the secrecy and inner thoughts of people in a poetic manner. The intense picture of the play is powerfully hinted through the old Soviet clock, the crumbling walls, the pigeons in the cage alone and the baby that died. With the progression of corruption and the underlying theme of change, “Peking Man” merges tragedy and comedy into one, making it a modern tragicomedy. While the playwright satirises, ridicules, and attacks human beings, he also exposes their own tragedy to sympathy and compassion.
《北京人》写于1940年，是曹禺先生倾心于契诃夫式心理现实主义戏剧后的转型之作，也是曹禺他自认为最满意的一部作品。《北京人》描写了一个旧中国封建大家庭如何从过去的”家运旺盛”的时代，逐步走向衰落直至最后彻底崩溃的过程。在这个封建家庭内部，曹禺着重刻画了祖孙三代人之间的矛盾冲突。这是一部风格淡雅，表现人物深层心理和隐秘情感的戏，弥漫着诗意现实主义的韵致。剧中密集的意象群充满着暗示的力量: 古老的苏钟、摇摇欲坠的土墙、单只的笼中的鸽子、夭折的婴儿…..在这种腐败的气息与衰落的大趋势中，潜伏着变革的躁动，《北京人》将悲剧因素和喜剧因素融合为一，是一部现代悲喜剧。作者在对人性抨击、讽刺和嘲笑的同时，也揭示了他们自身的悲剧性，予以深沉的同情与怜悯。
