"Old-fashioned Comedy" premiered by Li Chunguang
Beijing, June 26 (China News Network) (Reporter Gao Kai) On the 26th, the first new rehearsal drama "Old-fashioned Comedy" in the field of Beijing Renyi Small Theater officially met with the audience. The play is another small theater masterpiece directed by young actor Ban Zan, and it is also the first drama work co-starring Beijing actor Shi Lanya and famous actor Li Youbin.
Created in the 1970s by the former Soviet writer Albert Drov, the drama revolves around two elderly people, whose hearts collide and who understand and perceive life. For Chinese audiences, Although Albudrov is not a household name, his influence can be described as long-lasting. Many of his works have been translated into Chinese have been adapted to the domestic stage many times. The author's lines are exquisite, behind the seemingly witty humor hides unknown pain, but under the surface tit-for-tat, it is the intersection of inner world warmth.
Director Banzan believes that the literary and dramatic nature of this script is very fulfilling, and the most remarkable thing is the depiction of human nature, "The tolerance and influence of human nature is eternal and timeless." ”
The second creation of the director and actor makes the stage of the play rich and wonderful.
The chief physician of the nursing home played by Li Youbin seems serious and old-fashioned, but in fact, he is affectionate and lovely. He was either silent or passionate, playing a lonely old Soviet man without a trace. A live Charleston dance, but also provoked the audience to be amused, completely subverting his classic tough guy image in film and television works.
And this kind of stage performance, not only from his years of artistic accumulation, but also from more than 20 years of drama stage skills, "I was once an actor in the Changchun Drama Theatre, acting in dramas for more than 20 years, the last time I acted in a drama was in 1994, which has been a full 25 years." Li Youbin said. This time to take on this role, he went from repeatedly reading the script, analyzing the characters, understanding the background, to going to the stage to clearly show the characters, which is not only a stage return, but also a new artistic practice.
As another drama with only two actors in Beijing Renyi, "Old-fashioned Comedy" is not easy for the actors, and the two actors in the nine scenes of the whole play do not go to the stage except for changing clothes.
Shi Lanya, who plays a female patient in a nursing home in the play, said that the solid script gives the actors a lot of space, but at the same time, the rich and progressive lines also bring a lot of challenges to the actors. "This play has to perform a process, because the development of each act is gradual." The female character looks enthusiastic and cheerful, which is very different from the male doctor's personality, but the actor's rich performance can also see the hidden feeling behind the character - once suffered the blow of life. Both bright colors and deep inner experience make this female character truly cute and unique.
In addition to the performances of the actors, the director of the play is concise and powerful, and has a unique ingenuity in the details. Coupled with the clever stage design and flexible and melodious music, it adds a lot of romantic colors to the work. The whole drama ignites people's hope with the beauty of love, but it explores a rich life in love, just like director Banzan said, "Love is the flame in the depths of everyone's life." This play is about the light of the heart, the fire of life. ”
It is reported that the play will be performed until July 15. (End)
