Beijing News (Reporter Liu Zhen) On the evening of June 28th, the 2019 Capital Theater Boutique Repertoire Invitational Exhibition kicked off. In this unit, the Royal Swedish Theater, Turin National Theater, Italy, and the regular guest Israel Gescher Theater, who visited China for the first time, will gather on the stage of the Capital Theater, respectively interpreting the poetic and poetic qualities of the world-class director Tarkovsky. The grotesque of Nobel Prize winner Pirandello and the speculation of Russian critical realist writer Turgenev.
The Royal Swedish Theatre, which was the first to meet with Chinese audiences in this unit last night, is the most prestigious national theatre in Sweden and the Nordic region. This is the first time I was invited to participate in the "Swedish Summer Night" presented by the Capital Theatre Invitational Exhibition with gentle humor. The brushstrokes tell the story of a quiet summer night that happened on the set of Tarkovsky's film "Sacrifice". The film "Sacrifice" is the last masterpiece directed by Tarkovsky during his lifetime. It won four awards including the Catholic Humanitarian Award at the Cannes Film Festival in 1986, and was nominated for the Palme d'Or for Best Picture. The play is written by the actor Elan Josephson of "Sacrifice". The whole play uses a stream of consciousness to perform a dramatic interpretation of the exotic episodes in the filming. Through the discussion of the meaning of the film, it shows It expresses the artist's views on games, life, language and art, and outlines the unique charm of this work in the intense collision of different values. The second stage work in the summer unit of
is Pirandello’s classic masterpiece "It's like this, if you think so," brought by the National Theater of Turin, one of the seven national theaters in Italy. They came to China for the third time, and for the first time boarded the stage of the Capital Theater. "That's it, if you think so", which will be staged from July 5th to 7th, is the masterpiece of the Italian novelist and dramatist Luigi Pirandello. Pirandello uses the weird and crazy stage language to construct One by one "peel the onion" puzzle games, completely subvert the traditional theatrical structure. In the constant alienation of ordinary life scenes, the deep-seated survival dilemma of ordinary characters is exposed, which triggers people's reflection on the times they live in. The play tells an authentic Italian story with an oil painting-like stage texture. It takes a summer night to walk into the truth hidden behind the secret.
The most anticipated work of the summer section of the Capital Theater’s boutique repertoire invitation exhibition is the same name adapted from Ivan Turgenev’s novel by the old friend of the Beijing People’s Art Theater, Israel’s Geschel Theater. Stage work "Father and Son". From "Don Juan", "Jerusalem Pigeon", "Country" to "I am Don Quixote", Israel Geschel Theater, a theater founded by immigrants, has performed at the Capital Theater four times. Each time they visit All were shocked. This summer, the Geschel Theater, which visited for the fifth time, has already penetrated the hearts of Chinese audiences in terms of their performance style and unique creative concept. The play will also be staged from July 18th to 20th. This is the finale of the summer section of the capital theater's fine play invitation exhibition.
Since 2011, the "Capital Theater Boutique Repertoire Invitational Performance" has insisted on relying on the professional advantages of Beijing People's Art, and based on the selection principle of "famous troupes, famous dramas, and famous directors", it has selected international first-class performances suitable for Chinese audiences from around the world. The repertoire has been held for 9 sessions so far, successfully introducing 29 repertoires from 10 countries and 18 troupes.
