Aufführung von Roumiou yu Youliye [ID D23516] = Romeo and Juliet von William Shakespeare in der Übersetzung von Cao Yu durch das Shen ying ju tuan (The Divine Eagle Theatre) mit Jin Yan als Romeo und Bai Yang als Juliet ; unter der Regie von Zhang Junxiang in Chongqing. Cao Yu : "One of my favourite Western playwrights is Shakespeare, and my fondness of Shakespeare's plays started from reading Lin Shu's Tales when I was a little boy. As soon as I was able to read the original English, I was eager to get hold of a Shakespeare play because Lin’s translation of Shakespeare's fantasy world was so fresh in my own mind.” Li Ruru : Cao Yu's translation, rendered in an elegant style of verse and prose, plays with the tones of Mandarin as well that the combination of rise and fall gives actors an excellent opportunity to deliver the poetry in the text. Cao Yu himself was undergoing an emotional turmoil during this period, and the feelings and passions Shakespeare wrote beautifully for Romeo and Juliet best expressed his own inner world. |
