——The conversation drama "Taihang"

Du Xuewen

Since its premiere in March 2021, the drama "Taihang" created by Shanxi Art Vocational College has been loved and welcomed by audiences from all walks of life. For more than a year, I have entered Shanxi, Yunnan, Guangdong, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and other places, performed 70 games, directly with more than 30,000 people.

"Taihang" tells the Shenju Village deep deep in Taihang Mountain. Under the leadership of several villages, he has persisted for decades, overcomes the difficulties of difficulties, paid a huge sacrifice, and finally opened the road of mountains.

Although the creation of the play has undergone full artistic imagination and fiction, it is based on a solid life. There are many similar stories in Shanxi. The well -known Youyu County, under the leadership of the county party committee secretary, insisted on planting trees for more than 60 years, and finally turned a boring land into Jiangnan. Lingchuan County Xiya Gou is also like Youyu County, with a bad environment. After more than 30 years of hard work, Xiya Gou opened a wall -hanging road hanging on the wall. The construction of these roads is not overnight, which truly reflects the spirit of self -reliance, hard work, and Yugong Mountain. "Taihang" is created based on these vivid and fresh cases. It is filled with a strong Chinese spirit and Chinese style. It is a vivid expression of the Chinese people who overcome difficulties, stubborn struggle, and victory under the leadership of the party.

As far as artistic creation is concerned, it is not enough to have good living materials, and vivid and touching artistic expression is also important. In the creation of major themes, it often focuses on the explanation of events and the presentation of ideas, and ignore the corresponding artistic expression, which will make the work lose touching power to varying degrees. The drama "Taihang" can continue to be welcomed by the audience. It should be said that it has actively explored and succeed in the creation of major themes.

First of all, in the overall structure, the play focuses on strengthening psychiatric expression and weakening process narrative. This is not to say that it can be ignored, but to say that there must be a choice in the narrative process -avoid complicated plots, and after outline the basic stories, it highlights the content that can show spiritual connotation. The first show of its core circumstances was the protagonist's abandonment of the position of comfort and deputy county chief of the south, and was transferred to the village as a branch secretary by the county party committee. The work emphasizes this "process", but to highlight the feelings between the protagonist and the folks, and his determination to lead everyone to build the road. The drama is prominently the spiritual pillar of this behavior- "Dad said, this road must be repaired! Lao Tzu can not be repaired, his son cultivates, his son can't do it, and his grandson can not be cultivated! People want to get out of the mountains and see the day outside and live a good life! "Because of the expression of the spiritual world, the narrative space of the work is full.

Followed by the narrative, the multi -time and space cross is unified in the same stage time and space, forming a new space -time form that was superimposed in the past and currently. "Taihang" has at least two clues on cross narration. One is reality, which is today. The planned highway will pass through the village and need to move the grave in the village. However, the villagers of the fairy house, especially the old village chief, resolutely disagree. They are unwilling to alarm the heroes who sacrifice to the road. This design not only shows the development and progress of the times and the simple emotions of the villagers of the fairy residence, but also strengthens the "drama contradiction" of promoting the plot. Judging from the time of the work, it also extends the "history" to "reality", constitutes "reality time and space". Another clue, the main body of the work is "past", which mainly shows how the history of Shenxian Village, which was struggling to cultivate the mountains, needs to show "historical space and space". Two clues and two space -time cross -narratives have formed a long -time stage form that shows events in different periods. They also appear in the same stage space at the same time, forming a new aesthetic experience. For example, the whole drama was the issue of discussing the grave of the Fairy House Village Committee at the beginning, but the drama plot was the story of the road to repair the road that year. In this way, the protagonist in reality appears in the scene of the "past" at the same time. This kind of appearance is not a simple "present", but to "enter" the situation of the year, participate in the past events, and blend reality and time and space in history in a reconstructed stage time and space, thereby changing the pressing press The single structure described by time has also changed people's aesthetic expectations. It is particularly important to emphasize that this "participation" beyond the real time and space is emotional. Often, when the characters in the play are ups and downs and emotional, the "historical space -time" and "real time and space" are superimposed. It is worth noting that in the stage presentation, the integration of multiple art forms has enriched the performance of the work. Although we say that "Taihang" is a drama, it has absorbed the expression of many other arts in the presentation method and enriches its expression. The work pays great attention to the intervention of music. The use of the drama for music is normal. But as far as "Taihang" is concerned, music has exceeded the general form and has become an extremely important part of the composition of the work. Among them, such as the scene of the laborer, the form of "rammed song" is adopted to strengthen the spirit of spiritual spirit. The work also designed a character without lines but very important -Grandpa Shutan. His appearance is often related to a suona. Here, Suona is both a musical instrument and deepening the expressiveness of the stage. In fact, we can also see the performance of Suona as another time and space that surpasses the "past" and "present" -the space -time of natural forces. Nature has been operating in ancient times, showing the power of Superman. But people and nature also have a game in the form of unity. If this game does not violate the same nature between man and nature, it will naturally treat humans. Suona is exactly the significance of nature. Its appearance not only strengthened the lyricity of the stage, but also made the work a philosophical meaning.

"Taihang" highlights the sculpture modeling function in the stage design. Such as dance, design the layers of mountains, and strive to show the sense of sculpture. The clothing of "past" characters also strongly reflects the characteristics of "mountain" and "stone". During the performance, it is often fixed to form a mountain -like sculpture form, and strengthen the inner spirit of people in a group carving manner. Dance is the most important artistic element of "Taihang". This dialogue is a bold breakthrough. The dance in "Taihang" is not embellished, but an important means to render the atmosphere, mobilize emotions, and promote the plot. At the beginning of the work, the dance performance was used to strengthen the danger of Taihang Mountain and the difficult life of people's lives. The use of these different artistic means further strengthens the expression of emotion and the expression of the spiritual world, and highlights the strong spiritual power of defeating difficulties to achieve ideals, so that the audience has existed in the Chinese nation while understanding the story. Touched by the spirit.
