As the only international drama festival in western China, the 2020 China Xichang Daliangshan International Drama Festival is now being held in Xichang, during which more than 35 outstanding theatrical works and nearly 300 performances will be staged one by one. On the morning of November 16, Pu Cunxin, Wang Xiaoying, Ren Dongsheng, Li Ting, the initiators of the Daliangshan International Drama Festival, were interviewed by cover news reporters to share their views on the drama.
Pu Cunxin
"Drama should be a concept of omnipresence, someone is always doing it, and someone must be watching it." On November 17th and 18th, Pu Cunxin, the first initiator of the Daliangshan International Drama Festival, the artistic director of the Art Committee and the famous theatrical actor, will appear at the festival with the classic drama "Foreign Mahjong" starring him. In his view, Daliangshan has rich national cultural resources, the local people can sing and dance, and also have their own Liangshan Symphony Orchestra, original repertoire and so on. "The national culture of Daliangshan is very attractive to creators, especially international creators."
And holding the Liangshan International Drama Festival, Pu Cunxin's wish is also very clear: through drama, let the world see Xichang, but also let Xichang see the world. "A drama festival is a drama that condenses a year, where time, place, and onlookers are concentrated. Our focus is, on the one hand, to let all sides see here, and on the other hand, to let this place see the world. ”
The reason why the international drama festival was chosen to be held in Daliangshan, on the one hand, because the hardware facilities such as theaters, squares, and art galleries here can meet the requirements of the activities, "coupled with the cultural mentality of people, 'seeking innovation' is inevitable", so this place in a quiet corner already has the prototype of "drama Shangri-La". "When foreign artists knew we were going to have a theatre festival, they were all shocked. This should be the only theater festival in the world this year, and the only theater festival held in China. ”
To Pu Cunxin's surprise, compared with last year, more local audiences bought tickets this year. "Cultural prosperity must rely on cultural consumption, and now the theater festival has no business and sponsorship, basically relying on conceit, and will work hard in this regard in the future." Running a theatre festival through cultural consumption is tough. But the cultural consumption habit of buying tickets will make the operation enter a virtuous circle. Pu Cunxin said bluntly that drama comes to Daliangshan, perhaps it cannot have a direct effect on the development of the region like live streaming with goods and agricultural production capacity, but culture is imperceptible, "but whenever a region wants to develop, it is inseparable from cultural exchanges, and the international drama festival is a good situation that carries this exchange." ”
He also expects that more audiences will walk into Daliangshan and enter the theater in the future. "In the past, there were many audiences who did not know what drama and drama were, and the drama festival was to slowly do influence promotion, through square performances, roadshows, etc., to break through the theater environment, walk to the courtyard, into the space, and perform on real scenes." Drama festival belongs to all, culture should be a pluralistic compound state, drama is not only entertainment, it is thought, through watching drama, you can get cultural, psychological, happiness cognition. ”
Wang Xiaoying
For Wang Xiaoying, the initiator of the Daliangshan International Drama Festival, the executive producer of the Art Committee and the famous director, Daliangshan is the center of world drama at this moment. "The influence of culture on people is silent, people's lives can not be without drama, so that drama becomes a lifestyle choice, is the spiritual level of the 'just need'."
Li Ting
Li Ting, a famous drama director, also said that the culture and landscape of Daliangshan are different, and it is necessary to enjoy the joy of drama in such a more inclusive place.
In the view of Wang Yongjia, chairman of the Asian Art Award of the Edinburgh Arts Festival and master of the Edinburgh Royal Military Music Festival, drama is not only an art, drama is also a way of life for human beings, a way of life that always understands the breadth of Chinese drama that grows up, the beauty of Chinese opera, and the unique theater culture landscape of the world.
"In the face of the encirclement of the global strong culture, Chinese drama should strengthen cultural self-confidence under the care of global consciousness and look for the dominant coordinates of Chinese theater culture." On the one hand, we must follow the trend and use the greatest patience and flexibility to show the Chinese values of drama and show the commonality with the world. Wang Yongjia said, "On the other hand, we must also go against the trend, take the initiative to forge ahead, take Chinese culture as the main body, and slowly influence the cultural and artistic habits of Westerners." It is necessary to deeply excavate the most modern and global value components of Chinese drama, recreate it in a creative way of thinking and art, and form a new theater culture with world influence of our generation. ”
