[Sichuan Opera Audio] Episode 12 of "The Sichuan Opera's previous Life": Time and Space Expansion of Sichuan Opera's Expressions

Sichuan opera is a freehand art, and it has very flexible treatment of stage time and space. Not only can it be continuously converted in accordance with the principle of "scenery of the scene", but it can also use the imagination of the audience to break the time and space logic in life, or shrink, or expand, showing the freedom of unreasonable freedom. "Sichuan Province Zhichuan Opera" is to share with you today the "time and space expansion" in Sichuan opera performance.

Time and space expansion is a expression of time and space through special stage scheduling. The "Observation" plot in the Sichuan opera "Battle Red Tai • Xiao Fang Ye Ben" is an excellent example of time and space expansion. Xiao Fang was a criminal wanted by the court. After the ruthless crossing Jin Dajun into Jiangzhong and forced Geng Niang, he was found to be involved in the officers of Changping, who was in Hongtai Mountain, and found that he fled overnight. At this time, Xiao Fang, who was renamed Zhao Wan, was already a bird of surprise. He originally promised Han Hu's invitation to go to Hongtai Mountain, but walked halfway, but heard the fierce shouting and killing from Houshan. The officers and soldiers were fighting the defendant of Hongtai Mountain. In order to distinguish the reality in order to determine the whereabouts of their own, Xiao Fang appeared on the Gaopo observation. This "high slope" is a bow and horse table placed under the Samsung wall on the stage. Xiao Fang stood on the bow horses, facing his back to the back, and made a wait -and -see to show that the battlefield was under his sight. However, unexpectedly, at this time, King Changping's army chased the field from the front desk. Obviously, this was the battle scene of the back mountain. This is strange, why did this scene happen in the battle scene of the Houshan?

What is more interesting is that this scene that does not seem to be logical in life is normal to the audience at the scene. This is because the audience at the scene is very clear. At this moment, the stage has been divided into two two. Space, this is like the Monteci technique of today's movies, showing the scenes that appear in different locations. Of course, this expression of the opera is completely different from Monter. It uses the imagination of the audience to move the backdoor scenes that could not be seen to the front desk that can be seen. The restrictions on the space expand a psychological space that appreciates the psychological integration with the audience on the stage. This is a tacit understanding of the stage and the audience for hundreds of years. The audience can not only understand, recognize it, but also be able to be greatly satisfied from this panoramic visual enjoyment.

This "space -time expansion" expression method also shows wonderful display in the "several piles" plot of "Qiao Zikou • Blood Handprint". The scholar Lin Zhaode was sentenced to punishment by his father Wang Chunai's father, and was detained to Qiao Zi torture. Wang Chunai rushed to the law on the field regardless of his father's obstruction to make his wife and wife. I did not expect that there were a lot of prisoners on the court, and they were all tied to a pile. According to common sense, Wang Chunai was looking for people at this time. It will take too long. However, the drama of "Qiao Zikou" showed Wang Chunai's ashamed and anxious mood, and at the same time explained the incident to the audience. Before Wang Chunai saw Lin Zhaode, he arranged a dozens of sentences. Wang Chunai first cried Lin Zhaode's reason to judge the wrongdoing due to the contract of her garden, and then found someone in order, counting it, then countdown, counting one, singing, and constantly accompanying killings during the period. The Jiangyang thief in the field stunned, stopped and sang, and stopped, for one or twenty minutes. In this way, the actors who played Wang Chunai were originally fleeting psychological activities in life, expanded on the stage time, and sang them with a melodious and gentle aria according to the psychological processes of the people in the play, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life, forming life. The strong contrast between time and stage time. It seems not reasonable enough, but the audience can hear it. In fact, in the feelings of the audience, the more subtle the psychological activities of Wang Chunai, the more she seemed to be able to understand her anxiously. The time and space created by "Qiao Zikou" is actually the psychological time and space of the audience. It contrary to the logic of life, but it is in line with the logic of the stage.

Although both "observation" and "counting piles" use the "space -time expansion" expression techniques, the two ways of display are very different. "Observation" is to present things that are impossible on the stage, and "several piles" expand the original existence on the stage. From the perspective of life logic, they are inevitable that they are false, but in the eyes of the audience, they are all real. And this is the magic of Sichuan opera art.
