本文探讨当代戏剧制作人如何寻求激活贝尔托·布莱希特关于政治化戏剧的著作。它以理论与实践之间的绝对差异为基础，布莱希特利用这一差异通过设定一系列理论目标来鼓励实践实验。我认为布莱希特为他的戏剧构建了清晰明确的目标，但却故意没有提供足够的手段来实现这些目标。在他的文章、笔记和片段中，布莱希特几乎没有掩饰他想要上演的戏剧类型。他的戏剧是一部辩证剧，也许他所提供的对辩证法最具包容性的理解可以在《梅蒂》中找到，其中他使用了“伟大方法”这个短语作为一个不太技术性的替代物：伟大方法是一门关于联盟和解散联盟、利用变化和依赖变化、带来变化和改变那些带来变化的人、统一体的分离和形成、对立者缺乏彼此独立性、和解性的实用科学。相互排斥的对立面。伟大的方法使我们能够认识并利用事物的过程。它教导如何提出使行动成为可能的问题。 1
This article considers how contemporary theatre-makers might seek to activate Bertolt Brecht’s writings on a politicized theatre. It is predicated on the categorical difference between theory and practice, which Brecht exploited to encourage practical experiment by setting a series of theoretical goals. I will be arguing that Brecht constructed clearly articulated ends for his theatre, but deliberately failed to provide sufficient means to realize them. In his essays, notes, and fragments, Brecht hardly conceals the kind of theatre that he wants to stage. His is a dialectical theatre, and perhaps the most inclusive understanding of dialectics he offers can be found in the Me-ti, in which he uses the phrase ‘the great method’as a less technical surrogate:The Great Method is a practical science of alliances and dissolving alliances, of making use of changes and of dependence on changes, of bringing about change and changing those who bring it about, of the separation and formation of unities, of contraries’ lack of independence without each other, of the reconcilability of mutually exclusive contraries. The Great Method allows us to recognize and make use of processes in things. It teaches how to ask questions that make action possible. 1
