\u2018<\/span>Real\u2019ism<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The pioneer of Chinese theatre design, <\/span>Xue<\/span> Dianjie<\/span>, mentioned in his research, <\/span>Stage as a Stage: A Place for Performance<\/span>, that acknowledging the stage as a place for performance does not mean we must use it within its limitations. Instead, the stage should be considered from the perspective of theatrical aesthetics rather than material or technical constraints. As Brecht once said, it is not enough to demand insight and informative images of reality from the theatre; our theatre must stimulate a desire for understanding, a delight in changing reality. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, theatre as a performance space is the greatest reality we need to confront. <\/span><\/p>\n

Artists have always been the most sensitive to the world around them. Otherwise, their work would become disconnected from reality, resulting in \u2018poetic lies and falsification.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

In contemporary performances, reality\u2014such as a political election, an old building, a journey, or a specific area of a city\u2014relates to theatrical works in unprecedented ways. These tangible, experiential realities replace traditional literary scripts and become the basis for the beginning of some theatrical creations. This can be understood as contemporary theatre\u2019s response to reality.<\/span><\/p>\n
