叛与重构：“西戏中演”的史诗剧特征分析——以河北梆子《美狄亚》为例

Rebellion and Reconstruction: An Analysis of the Characteristics of the Epic Theatre in the Western Drama—Take Hebei Bangzi, Medea, as an Example

As a representative of “western dramas performed with a Chinese approach”, Hebei Bangzi, Medea is an adaptation of the homonymous work by the ancient Greek tragic playwright Euripides. Based on the influence of Brecht’s epic theater theory on modern drama and the context of traditional Chinese opera facing modernization in multicultural exchanges, this thesis explores how the characteristics of epic theater are applied and embodied in Hebei Bangzi, Medea through theoretical research, text analysis, cross-cultural comparative studies, and other approaches. It reveals the innovative transformation and rational depth achieved by epic theater theory in the modernization process of Chinese local opera. Furthermore, this thesis discusses the misunderstandings and narrow-mindedness towards traditional Chinese opera that exist due to Brecht’s “rebellion”, and delves into the improvement and reconstruction of Chinese opera in relation to epic theater theory.

河北梆子《美狄亚》作为“西戏中演”的代表，改编自古希腊悲剧作家欧里庇得斯的同名作品。本文基于布莱希特史诗剧理论对现代戏剧的影响以及多元文化交流中传统戏曲面临现代化转型的背景，通过理论研究、文本分析、跨文化比较研究等途径，探讨史诗剧特征在河北梆子《美狄亚》中如何应用与体现，揭示史诗剧理论在中国地方戏曲现代化进程中实现的创新转化与理性深度，并在这一过程中论述由布莱希特“反叛”致使的对戏曲的误解和偏狭，从而探赜中国戏曲对史诗剧理论的改良与重构。
