这篇导言调查了在特定表演传统上主张文化所有权所引起的问题。特别是，它突显了选角--戏剧实践中分析最少的领域之一--可能既赋予了谁应该参加表演的权力，也让围绕谁应该参加表演的辩论复杂化。真正的演员选角--选角的演员和表演文本或传统来自相同的地理区域--和色盲的选角做法怎么会发生冲突？皇家莎士比亚剧团(RSC)2012-13年出品的《赵氏孤儿》的选角争议为解决这些问题提供了一个机会。
This introduction investigates the issues raised by asserting cultural ownership over specific traditions of performance. In particular, it highlights how casting – one of the least analysed areas of theatre practice – might both empower and complicate debates around who should participate in performance. How might authentic casting – of casting actors who ‘look like’ they are from the same geographical region as the performance text or tradition – and colour-blind casting practices come into conflict? The casting controversy surrounding the Royal Shakespeare Company’s (RSC’s) 2012-13 production of The Orphan of Zhao provides an opportunity to tackle these questions.
