多部中外戏剧亮相首都剧场精品剧目邀请展

10月，“英国国家剧院现场”作品《李尔王》亮相2016首都剧场精品剧目邀请展；随后，另一部由波兰克拉科夫老剧院演出的《李尔王》也接棒登台。曾凭借《假面·玛丽莲》《伐木》和《英雄广场》在中国备受关注的波兰导演克里斯蒂安·陆帕，于1986年正式成为克拉科夫老剧院的常驻导演，而此次演出的《李尔王》的导演杨·克拉塔则是陆帕的学生，他自2013年起担任剧院的执行总监及艺术总监。由于剧中饰演李尔王的演员耶日·格拉雷克于今年2月不幸离世，为缅怀这位优秀的老演员，导演对全剧进行重新编排，并将格拉雷克生前的视频影像投射到舞台上，使天国里的“李尔”跨越生死，重现在剧中。国内板块由中央戏剧学院中青年教师演绎的《樱桃园》及方旭执导的老舍经典《二马》组成；巡演板块则有去年曾登台邀请展的以色列盖谢尔剧院的《乡村》。借此机会，北京人艺演出中心也首次启动国际演出项目经纪职能，与以色列盖谢尔剧院签订长期合作协议，携手北京央华时代文化发展有限公司，把这部作品奉献给观众。

Chinese and Foreign Dramas went on show in 2016 BPAT International Festival

In October, King Lear, a production of British National Theatre Live, made its appearance in 2016 Beijing People’s Art Theatre (BPAT) International Festival. Afterwards, another King Lear by Stary Teatr of Krakow from Poland took its turn. Krysitan Lupa, a well-known Polish director in China with his three masterpieces Persona·Marilyn, Woodcutters and Heroes’ Square, became the standing director of Stary Teatr of Krakow and the current director of this Polish King Lear, Jan Klata, is just his disciple who has acted as supervisor and artistic director of Stary Teatr of Krakow since 2013. As the actor for the hero Jerzy Gralek passed away this February, the director rearranged the whole play and projected the video clips of this actor onto the stage so as to make him “alive” in drama as homage to this excellent senior actor. The Chinese dramas consisted of Cherry Orchard in a cast of young and middleaged teachers of CAD as well as Lao She’s masterpiece Father and Son with Surname of Ma. The tour performance was Village by Gesher Theatre from Israel. Taking this Festival as a good opportunity, the performance center of BPAT activated its international performing agency function for the first time and signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Gesher Theatre from Israel. In association with Beijing Magnificent Culture Co., Ltd, it dedicated this play to the audiences in Wuhan, Shanghai and Guangdong.
