Looking for the"Correct"Theatricality:General Review of the Concept of"Theatricality"in Chinese Drama
Before the New Era,the concept of"theatricality"in Chinese drama mainly referred to the stage,that is,the characteristics of the connection between theater and the stage.Since the New Era,the connota-tion of theatricality has been closely linked to assumption,communication,performativity,material space,and the relationship between spectators and performers,and the contradictions and debates between theatri-cality and literature also emerged at this time.In the context of"post-drama theater",theatricality is"the process of theater outside the text".Therefore,the change of the concept of"theatricality"in Chinese dra-ma is diachronic,and the mainstream should be grasped in the comparison between history and the present.At the same time,theatricality is both a subjective aesthetic pursuit and an objective attribute.The audience's perception of theatricality is a result of a combination of various factors.There is no constant yard-stick for the"correct"theatricality;rather,there are"dedication a theatrical work in a suitable way"and integration between subjectivity and objectivity.
