"Tea House" was created by Lao She in 1956 and premiered in Beijing Renyi in 1958. Lao She once said: "The tea house is a meeting place of three religions and nine streams, which can accommodate all kinds of characters. A big teahouse is a small society. This is why he chose the "tea house" to reflect the changes of the times, gathering some of the small people he was familiar with into the tea house, "using their changes to reflect the changes in society." "Although the characters say their own things, they can help reflect the times."
Since its performance, "The Tea House" has become a landmark work in the history of Beijing Renyi and even Chinese drama, which has been warmly welcomed by the audience and even become a cultural phenomenon. As a play of "Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Communist Party of China", the performance of this round of "Tea House" is also more meaningful.
"Mr. Lao She wrote a very specific script, explaining the time and place very clearly, which can echo with history." Behind every character he writes are historical events. Yang Lixin, art director of the rehearsal execution, introduced, "Mr. Lao She is a language master, for example, in the three acts, why do children want a bowl of noodles with their mothers, but the mother has to say, 'Where so clever grain stores have noodles, where so clever people have noodles, our family has money', this is the characteristic of the times, he did not have a word that did not reflect reality." ”
Spanning half a century and performing more than 700 times, the audience has long cherished the story of "Tea House". Directors Jiao Juyin and Xia Chun, rearrangement art director Lin Zhaohua, rearrangement executive art director Yang Lixin, starring Liang Guanhua, Pu Cunxin, Yang Lixin, Lei Jia, Wu Gang, Gong Lijun, Feng Yuanzheng, Lan Faqing, Yan Rui, Mi Tiezeng, Li Po, Gao Dongping, Sun Xing, Zhang Fuyuan, Jin Han, Liu Chen, Yue Xiuqing, Xin Yue, Li Zhen, Gao Qian, Yang Mingxin, Guo Yijun, Wang Tao, etc., the "Tea House" now staged is not only a feast for the audience to "gather big names", but also a stage inheritance of the three generations of beijing people's art collection.
As the actor of the second generation of Wang Lifa, Liang Guanhua still feels excited on stage, "After acting for more than twenty years, I have been impressed by the charm of the classic, this play really wants us to live to learn from the old, and still have to dig up new things in the characters." ”
With this work for more than twenty years, in the eyes of Pu Cunxin, the actor of Chang Siye, the feelings of every day are true, and every day's "Tea House" is new, "The progress of many of us is not in searching, but in stability and nature." ”
"My generation has seen the old gentlemen's approach to art, and they laid the foundation for our aesthetic." Yang Lixin, who plays the second master of Qin, has a deep understanding of this inheritance. Wu Gang, Gong Lijun, Feng Yuanzheng, etc. are also the elders in the play, not only accompanying the play for decades, but also passing on this tradition to the next generation of young people in the play.
