Beijing News (Reporter Liu Zhen) On October 31, Beijing People's Art Theater's new drama "Warsaw Melody" held a media meeting. Director Zhang Tong, starring Zhang Keying, and Du Zijun made live appearances. Feng Yuanzheng, dean of the Beijing People's Arts and artistic director of the play, who is touring in Shanghai, also introduced the creation and arrangement of the work through a video and expressed his expectations for the performance of the work: "We hope to stage some weighty plays in the small theater. Make the repertoire more diverse. This drama is about love but not simply love. It spans time and history. At the same time, we hope that the love in the drama can transcend time and space and impress the current audience. "

Zhang Peng, deputy director of Beijing People's Arts, attended the meeting and introduced the significance of the performance of the work. "There are three reasons for choosing to create and stage this play: to pay tribute to classics, to explore innovation, and to cultivate new talents."
"Warsaw Melody" was created by Russian playwright Leonid Zolin. It describes a Russian boy majoring in winemaking and a Polish boy studying vocal music. The girls met and fell in love after the war but were forced to separate because of the prohibition on intermarriage at that time. Ten years and twenty years later, the two met twice, but they still inevitably went their own paths in life and never crossed paths again throughout their lives. The play was staged in the 1960s.
"Warsaw Melody" is director Zhang Tong's third collaboration with Beijing People's Art Theater after "The Eldest Son" and "The Long Journey into the Night." "I think this is more than just a love story." Young director Zhang Tong said that such a work with love as the main line shows the huge trauma caused by the war. "People who have experienced war have great fear of the unknown future. How should they face their lives? What the war has destroyed may not be able to make up for it. So we call for peace and cherish peace from the bottom of our hearts."

believe that when a work points to the core of human nature and destiny, it can connect with the current audience and hit the heart. I hope the audience can enter the theater and find the meaning of life and the true meaning of love with the characters in the play. And how to present a Russian work to Chinese audiences? Director Zhang Tong has rich directing experience in this area. This time she re-translated and revised the work from a director's perspective. This kind of translation does not deliberately achieve localization, but strives to show the original appearance of the work. "I think the author's expression in the original text is more straightforward. I hope that the translated language will be closer to the author's style and be more realistic after removing the emotional expression." , more powerful. "In the work, a large number of era and war backgrounds are realized through dialogue. Zhang Tong's revision makes the "subtext" behind the lines richer and clearer. The audience can directly feel the character's past experiences and capture the character's personality and attitude through the actors' dialogue.
Beijing People's Art Theater has many very successful "two-person dramas". "Warsaw Melody", which also has only two actors, also made the audience full of expectations for the performance of the play. This time, two young actors, Zhang Keying and Du Zijun, play the role of a pair of lovers who are unlikely to get married. They have to express the character's state of life with an age span of twenty years. This is a very big challenge for their acting skills, and it is also a useful experience. As Dean Feng Yuanzheng said, Beijing People's Art "hopes to cultivate talents in small theaters." "In fact, changes do not depend on external conditions, but changes in mentality." During the performance, the two actors will focus on shaping the characters' situations. Different understandings of self and the world at different stages. By digging into the characters' hearts, the life experiences behind them are shown. At the same time, in conjunction with the actors' performances, the play has also made new breakthroughs in stage presentation - Chang Jiang, a stage designer who has always been good at large theaters and large productions, is designing repertoire for small theaters this time. According to him, when this play is performed, the audience will see a different stage every day when they enter the theater. This has raised everyone's expectations for this drama to a higher level.
It is reported that the play will be on the stage of Beijing People's Art Experimental Theater on November 21.
