柏林戏剧节在中国-德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院《国家剧院的绊脚石》

Theatertreffen in China: Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe presents “Stolpersteine Staatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre)”

利用德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院的员工档案，导演汉斯·维尔纳和戏剧构作雷吉娜·杜拉重现了该剧院1933年后，反犹太人歧视和解雇左翼自由主义戏剧家的过程。演员和观众围坐在一张巨大的工作桌周围。演员向现场目击者念着档案、新闻报道、回忆录和采访。周而复始的，他们加入了简单的表演。我们听他们讲述在卡尔斯鲁厄，犹太演员、犹太提词员以及艺术总监是如何被解雇、逮捕、流放以及自杀的。每位艺术家并非被简单地处理成为受害者形象，而是被精炼、饱满地塑造出来。戏剧作品展现了一套官僚程序如何通过建立周密的司法程序，得以进行社会排斥；如何通过引用相关法律条款、通过将歧视暗植入当地报纸的煽动性文章中，将这些程序合法化；还有政府官员发出那些信函，告知犹太提词员对她的解聘是合法的，看上去是何等的礼貌、形式上完美无缺……所有这些细节使这部戏剧作品像一部教科书似的告知人们，国家官僚体制如何“公正”地运行。

 

作为“最值得关注的”十部作品之一，《国家剧院的绊脚石》受邀参加2016年柏林戏剧节。在由吴氏策划主办、北京德国文化中心·歌德学院（中国）协办以及大众（中国）赞助的“2017柏林戏剧节在中国”项目框架下，巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院携《国家剧院的绊脚石》来京演出，并通过丰富多彩的公众活动与观众交流。

 

Using staff records of Staatstheater Karlsruhe, director Hans-Werner Kroesinger and dramaturg Regine Dura reconstructed the process of anti-Semitic discrimination and the dismissal of left-wing and liberal theatre artists after 1933. Actors and audience sit together at a large work desk. The actors read from files, newspaper reports, memoirs and interviews with contemporary witnesses. Repeatedly, they transition into brief passages of acting. We hear how in Karlsruhe, Jewish actors, a Jewish prompter and the artistic director were dismissed, arrested, driven into exile and to suicide. Individual artists are not reduced to mere victims, but presented in terse, concentrated portraits. The bureaucratic procedure which provided a detailed set of legal regulations for social exclusion , the legitimation by procedures that liked to conceal this discrimination in inciting articles in the local NS-paper by citing the pertinent legal clause, the polite, formally always correct letters in which a chief councilor informed the Jewish prompter that her dismissal was lawful – all these make the production into a lesson about the impartial operation of a state bureaucracy.

 

As one of the ten most noteworthy German-speaking theatre pieces in the previous season, “Stolpersteine Staatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre)” was invited to the Theatertreffen 2016 and will now be presented with an extensive program in July in Beijing. “Theatertreffen in China 2017” is realized by Wu Promotion in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut China and sponsored by Volkswagen China.

2005年至2011年，彼德•施布勒在海德尔堡戏剧和交响乐团担任艺术总监，和他的团队创造了造访人数和票房收入的记录，将观众扩展到更年轻的群体中。2010 年，剧院因为对视力和听觉残疾的歌剧特殊观众做出的努力，被评选为“全国最有创意的365个地点之一”。从巴洛克歌剧到推崇新剧本写作的“海德堡集萃”戏剧节，剧院通过独特、革新的演出季策划获得了闻名全国的声誉。跨界项目“希望号角”（Das neue Wunderhorn）获得了“新听觉奖”（Junge Ohren Preis），该项目由德国联邦文化基金支持，在音乐总监科尼利厄斯•梅斯特和艺术总监杨 • 林德斯的带领下，将海德堡400 多名市民聚集在一起。此外，戏剧部还发起了一个全新的项目，展开与以色列特拉维夫拜特莱辛剧院长达两年、分六部分的合作。至2012年，施布勒通过各种方式完成了剧院带耗资数百万欧元的翻新与重建工作。

 

2011年至2012年演出季开始，彼德•施布勒担任德国巴登州卡尔鲁斯厄国家剧院的艺术总监。为拓展艺术领域和观众群，除了歌剧、音乐会、芭蕾、戏剧部，他又增设了两个新部门，为儿童和青年设立“青年剧院”，为所有市民设立“人民剧院”。通过不断改编歌剧，这里成为“全国创意之地”。剧院获得了最佳歌剧演出奖。有着350 多年历史的巴登交响乐团获得了最佳音乐会奖。国家剧院的艺术家曾多次荣获德国戏剧大奖“浮士德奖”。2014年，米菲•安德雷德获得最佳舞蹈演员奖。施布勒和他的团队发起了很多与外国的合作，其中有很多是安特卫普、布鲁塞尔、根特、布拉格、旧金山和特拉维夫的知名歌剧院。戏剧部曾与法国、罗马尼亚、第比利斯和特拉维夫的剧院合作。大多涉外项目是由歌德学院和联邦文化基金支持。

Peter Spuhler was born in Berlin, Germany, and studied directing and dramaturgy at the prestigious MaxReinhardt-Seminar in Vienna, Austria. After assisting theatre legend George Tabori, he worked 1990/91 as dramaturge at the Schauspielhaus Wien and subsequently as free lance stage director. In 1993 he became director of the Children and Youth Theatre at the Theater der Altmark / Landestheater Sachsen Anhalt-Nord in Stendal, Germany. In 1998 he moved to the Volkstheater Rostock, where he started as head dramaturg and later became director of the theatre department.

 

From 2005 to 2011, Peter Spuhler was artistic director of the Theater & Orchester in the city of Heidelberg. He and his team achieved record numbers of visitors and revenue and reached out to new and younger audiences. In 2010, the theatre was awarded as one of “365 places in the country of ideas” for making opera accessible for the visually and aurally impaired. The theatre gained nationwide reputation with an exceptional and innovative programme, ranging from baroque opera to the festival of new drama, “Heidelberger Stückemarkt”. The first “Junge Ohren Preis” was awarded for the interdisciplinary project “Das neue Wunderhorn”, funded by the Federal Cultural foundation and bringing together over 400 citizens of Heidelberg under the musical direction of Cornelius Meister and the artistic direction of Jan Linders. The theatre section initiated a six part, two year partnership with the Beit Lessin Theatre in Tel Aviv, Israel. Spuhler brought a multimillion renovation and reconstruction project under way that was completed in 2012.

 

Starting with the season 2011/12, Peter Spuhler is general artistic director of the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. Widening the artistic scope and the audiences, he added two new departments to opera, concert, ballet and theatre, establishing the “Junges Staatstheater” for children and youth and the citizen participation department “Volkstheater”. With the project of a recycling opera, it became a “place in the country of ideas”. The theatre received the prize for the best opera programme. The 350+ year old Badische Staatskapelle was awarded the price for the best concert programme. Several times, artists of the STAATSTHEATER were nominated for the “Faust”, the German theatre awards. In 2014, Bruna Andrade won the prize as best dancer. Spuhler and his team initiated many partnerships with theatres abroad, among them coproductions with renowned opera houses in Antwerpen, Brussels, Ghent, Prague, San Francisco, and Tel Aviv. The ballet has performed in Bangkok, Basel and Winterthur. The theatre section has collaborated with theatres in France, Romania, Tbilisi and Tel Aviv. Most foreign activities were sponsored by the Goethe-Institut and the Federal cultural foundation.

He is a member of the Deutsche Akademie der Darstellenden Künste, of the Chambre Professionnelle des Directeurs d´Opéra, of the French society of theatre managers and member of the board of the European opera network “Opera Europa”. Regularly, Spuhler teaches as a guest lecturer and is a part of various juries and advisory boards.

德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院

剧院简介Introduction Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe

德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院前身可追溯至18世纪的公爵宫廷剧院，现在，剧院由6个机构组成：演出歌剧和音乐会的巴登国家管弦乐团（世界上最古老管弦乐团之一）、演出芭蕾舞剧的国家芭蕾舞团、演出传统和创新戏剧的戏剧院、为儿童和青年项目而设立的青年国家剧院，以及最新成立的致力于实验剧的人民剧院。前五个剧院均有自己的演员，管弦乐队99人，合唱团50人，芭蕾独舞、歌剧、戏剧和青年部演员各30人左右。加上技术人员和行政人员，雇员超过700人。这使卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院成为世界最大综合剧院之一，同时也是该地区雇员国籍最多的剧院之一。剧院雇员来自40多个国家。大多数歌剧演出都有英语字幕。

 

多彩优质的演出和卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院的盛名吸引了来自莱茵河两岸、普拉蒂纳特、法国、卡尔斯鲁厄的观众，德国最高参议院的官员也是座上宾。每年春季举办的汉德尔艺术节吸引了全欧洲的歌剧爱好者。

 

彼得•施布勒在2011年至2012年任艺术总监。他和他的部门总监团队一起，向当代作品和话题、城市和新观众开放了国家剧院。新作品除了瓦格纳歌剧和一系列法国歌剧外，每年剧院还制作政治歌剧，例如美国约翰•亚当斯的《原子博士》、波兰米奇斯瓦夫•魏因贝格创作的关于屠杀幸存者见到集中营守卫的《旅客》，2017年世界首演的以色列作曲家多尔曼关于瓦格纳家族的《瓦恩弗里德》。国家芭蕾舞团创作了叙事芭蕾剧，最新一部作品是关于可可·香奈儿和伊戈尔斯特·拉文斯基《小黑裙》、巴西舞者、编舞创作雷吉纳尔多•奥利维拉创作的《安妮•弗兰克》。戏剧院演出了彼德•史路特戴、克劳斯•彼德•史路特戴、克劳斯•韦莱特、赫尔曼•黑塞、韩炳哲的哲学剧本。埃尔弗里德·•耶利内克、彼得•汉德克、沃尔夫拉姆•洛茨、尼斯-姆米斯托克曼的当代戏剧，以及关于痴呆症、安乐死、公民自由、美国国家安全局斯诺登等社会问题的剧本。

 

新成立的针对儿童和青年的实验参与剧院将国家剧院和城市联系在了一起，产生了新的观众。项目重点放在学校、学生、特殊群体以及弱势群体。近期国家剧院正在创作难民题材的演出。每年四个场馆和相关活动中，总计有超过三十三万观众观看近900场演出。35部新创剧目和50部复排剧目每晚在德国剧目体系中轮番上演。这个体系拥有大量的观众基础。平均每人每戏剧季观看10部歌剧、芭蕾和戏剧。

 

卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院是两年一届的“欧洲文化日艺术节”的联合制作方。自2013年起，为欧洲年轻导演而设的艺术节——普雷米埃艺术节，在国家剧院和法国斯特拉斯堡轮流举办。近日，德国的演出剧目两次在“德国——创想的沃土”比赛中获奖，一次是儿童歌剧《罗宾汉》，另一次是凭借《TheaBib&Bar》。白天，宽敞的大厅向学生开放,为他们提供一个免费的学习空间。作为过去12个月最值得关注的十部作品之一，《国家剧院的绊脚石》受邀参加了2016柏林戏剧节，即德国具有声誉的戏剧节。

 

国家剧院是欧洲歌剧和欧洲戏剧协会中活跃的成员。近日受邀到瑞士和泰国巡演，2016年10月将参与曼谷国际艺术节中舞蹈和音乐的演出。曾多次受邀到韩国大邱演出，近期在土耳其伊斯坦布尔组织了西门子歌剧青年歌手大奖赛。

 

戏剧院曾和罗马尼亚、特拉维夫、曼谷的同仁联合制作新剧目。正在筹备和格鲁吉亚、伊朗的合作。曾受邀到美国、捷克、法国、挪威、波兰、瑞士以及中国的演出。这些活动大多由歌德学院和德国联邦文化基金会支持赞助。

 

国家剧院的主体建筑落成于1975年，将于2019年开始进行主体翻修和扩建，为期10年，花费数百万欧元，由巴登-符腾堡州和卡尔斯鲁厄市资金支持。维也纳注册建筑设计师Delugan & Meissl竞标成功，将根据21世纪剧院的需求翻新建筑。

 

Mentioned in the early 18th century as the ducal court theatre, the BADISCHES STAATSTHEATER KARLSRUHE today encompasses six departments: OPERA and CONCERT with the BADISCHE STAATSKAPELLE, one of the oldest orchestras in the world, as well as ballet performances by the STAATSBALLETT, classical drama and new plays by the SCHAUSPIEL (theatre), a program for children and youth by the JUNGES STAATSTHEATER and the newly founded experimental participatory department: VOLKSTHEATER. The first five departments have their own ensembles, with the orchestra numbering 99, the chorus 50, and around 30 soloists each for ballet, opera and theatre and youth section combined. With technicians and administrative staff, the number of permanent employees adds up to over 700 and makes the STAATSTHEATER one of the biggest multi-department theatres worldwide – and one of the most diverse employers in the region: Its employees have their origin in over 40 nations. Most opera performances are surtitled in English.

 

The varied program and the reputation for high quality of the STAATSTHEATER draws audiences from both sides of the Rhine, from the Southern Palatinate and from France to Karlsruhe, the former capital of the state of Baden and the seat of Germany’s supreme courts. The INTERNATIONAL HAENDEL FESTIVAL, held every spring, has appeal to baroque opera lovers from all over Europe.

 

Peter Spuhler took over the general artistic direction in the 2011/12 season. With his team of department directors, he has managed to open the STAATSTHEATER to contemporary works and topics, to the city and to new audiences. Besides new productions of all Wagner operas and a line of French operas, the STAATSOPER is producing one political opera per year, e.g. Doctor Atomic by the American John Adams, The Passenger about a Holocaust survivor meeting her guard by Mieczys?aw Weinberg from Poland, and, in 2017 as world premiere and commissioned work, Wahnfried about the Wagner family by Israeli composer Avner Dorman. The STAATSBALLET has commissioned new narrative ballets, most recently Das kleineSchwarze about Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky and Anne Frank by young Brazilian dancer and choreographer Reginaldo Oliveira. The SCHAUSPIEL has staged philosophical texts by Peter Sloterdijk, Klaus Theweleit, Hermann Hesse and Byung-Chul Han, contemporary plays by, among others, ElfriedeJelinek, Peter Handke, Wolfram Lotz and Nis-MommeStockmann, and devised texts on socio-political topics as dementia, euthanasia, civil liberties and the NSA and Edward Snowden.

 

The newly founded departments for children and youth and participatory theatre have linked the STAATSTHEATER to the city and created new audiences. Much emphasis is put into educational programs reaching out to schools, students, special interest groups and disadvantaged citizens. Currently, the STAATSTHEATER is developing programs for and with refugees. All in all, now more than 330.000 people annually watch around 900 performances in four venues plus additional events. The 35 new productions and 50 re-runs are performed in the German repertory system with a different program every night. This system is supported by a large subscriber base; most of the subscribers watch at least 10 shows of opera, ballet and theatre per season.

 

Every two years the STAATSTHEATER KARLSRUHE is one of the co-producers for the EUROPÄISCHE KULTURTAGE (European Culture Days) festival. Since 2013, PREMIÈRES, the largest festival for young European directors, is hosted here in an annual rotation system with the National Theatre and Le Maillon in Strasbourg, France. Recently, the STAATSTHEATER has been awarded the title of best opera house and best concert program in Germany. It has been awarded twice in the context of the "Germany - Land of Ideas"  contest, once for the children's opera Robin Hood which explained the issue of sustainability to the audience in all its diversity, and once for the TheaBib&Bar: During daytime, the spacious FOYER is open for students, and provides them with a free learning space. As one of the ten most remarkable productions of the year, StolpersteineStaatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre) was invited to the 2016 Berlin Theatertreffen, Germany’s most prestigious theatre festival.

 

The STAATSTHEATER is an active member in the networks Opera Europa and European Theatre Convention. Recently, the STAATSBALLET has been on tour to Switzerland and Thailand, and it will appear again in October 2016 as part of the Bangkok’s International Festival of Dance and Music. The STAATSOPER has been invited to Daegu, Korea, several times, and regularly hosts young award-winning singers from the Siemens Opera competition in Istanbul, Turkey.

The SCHAUSPIEL has coproduced creations of binational new plays with Temeswar in Romania, Tel Aviv in Israel and Bangkok in Thailand. Collaborations with Georgia and Iran are in preparation. Its productions were invited to Armenia, Czech Republic, France, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, and the People’s Republic of China. Most of these activities were encouraged and sponsored by the Goethe Institute and the German Federal Cultural Foundation.

 

 

2017柏林戏剧节在中国

Theatertreffen in China 2017

 

柏林戏剧节与法国阿维尼翁戏剧节、英国爱丁堡艺术节并称为世界三大戏剧节，是德语区一年一度最重要、规模最大的戏剧艺术节之一。比起另两个戏剧节的娱乐展演的方式，柏林 戏剧节更着重戏剧的专业性和体现当代的前进方向和高水平。

 

2015 年，吴氏策划与柏林艺术节在中国驻德国大使馆文化参赞陈平先生的牵线搭桥下签署了五年的合作协议，于2016 年至2020年连续5年在中国各地举办“柏林戏剧节”。每年，由中德专家组成的评审委员会从当年“柏林戏剧节”的10部“最值得关注”的作品中评选出2-3部于次年出访中国。

 

2016年柏林戏剧节落户北京、上海，成为了一个表演艺术届的大事件。此前并未有过德语戏剧集中在中国演出的先例，柏林戏剧节的这三部作品撼动我国的戏剧界，演出、工作坊、讲座等多方位的整体策划，让观众们看到了一个全新的舞台世界。

 

2017年“柏林戏剧节在中国”召集6位评审，柏林艺术节主席托马斯•奥伯伦德博士、中国驻德国使馆文化参赞陈平、北京德国文化 中心 • 歌德学院 (中国) 院长柯理博士、戏 剧导演孟京辉、柏林戏剧节联合总监丹尼尔 • 里赫特、国家一级编剧、上海话剧艺术中心 副总经理喻荣军，继续为中国观众带来德国 柏林戏剧节的精彩演出。

 

2017年“柏林戏剧节在中国”由吴氏策划主办，北京德国文化中心·歌德学院（中国）协办，由大众（中国）赞助， 于6月和7月分别在北京天桥剧场上演《他她它》和《国家剧院的绊脚石》。

 

Theatertreffen Berlin is one of the most important culture events in German-speaking countries. It is also one of the three most important theatre festivals in Europe, together with Avignon Festival in France and Edinburgh International Arts and Fringe Festival in the UK. Though compared with a rather showcasing mode of the other two festivals, Theatertreffen Berlin is rewarding the most remarkable German spoken theater of the season, reflecting the highest level of contemporary theatre making.

 

Thanks to the diligent efforts of Mr. Chen Ping, Cultural Attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Germany, Wu Promotion signed in 2015 a five-year agreement with the Dr. Thomas Oberender, Director of the Berliner Festspiele/Theatertreffen, paving the way for the Berlin Theatertreffen to be presented in China from 2016 to 2020. Each year a jury of theatre experts from China and Germany will select two or three productions from the ten performances staged in Berlin to present them in China in the following year under the banner of “Theatertreffen in China”.

 

When the Theatertreffen in China was launched in Beijing and Shanghai in 2016, it proved to be a ground-breaking event in the theatrical world in China, since previously there had never been such staging of entire German contemporary theatre productions in the country. The three plays shook the Chinese theatre professionals, and with the largely well received package of shows, framed by workshops and lectures, it opened new horizons for all participants in the adventure.

 

To make the 2017 event a resounding success, we have invited six leading experts to the jury: Dr. Thomas Oberender, Director of the Theatertreffen, Chen Ping, Cultural Attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Germany, Dr. Clemens Treter, Director of the Goethe Institute China, Meng Jinghui, a renowned director in China, Daniel Richter, a co-director of the Theatertreffen, and Yu Rongjun, Deputy General Manager of the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center. In 2017, we look forward to bringing more exciting productions to the eager and keen theatre audiences in China.

 

This year, “Theatertreffen in China” will present “der die mann” and “Stolpersteine Staatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre)” in June and July at the Tianqiao Theater Beijing. The program is presented by Wu Promotion in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut China and sponsored by Volkswagen China.
