Text
Vortrag von Ding Tao an einer Konferenz der Central Dama Academy wärend des Chinese Shakespeare Festival in Beijing.
His topic was the staging of Shakespeare's plays from the standpoint of the modern age, with emphasis on the significance of Shakespeare's humanism for contemporary China. He maintained that Shakespeare's plays showed us how people were released from the ideological shackles of the Middle Ages and that the Chinese also faced an arduous task to emancipate themselves from outmoded spiritual fetters and to vindicate human rights and dignity. Thus he believed that to present Shakespeare's plays was, in a sense, to present modern-day China.
