演出详情
利用德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院的员工档案，导演汉斯·维尔纳和戏剧构作雷吉娜·杜拉重现了该剧院1933年后，反犹太人歧视和解雇左翼自由主义戏剧家的过程。演员和观众围坐在一张巨大的工作桌周围。演员向现场目击者念着档案、新闻报道、回忆录和采访。周而复始的，他们加入了简单的表演。我们听他们讲述在卡尔斯鲁厄，犹太演员、犹太提词员以及艺术总监是如何被解雇、逮捕、流放以及自杀的。每位艺术家并非被简单地处理成为受害者形象，而是被精炼、饱满地塑造出来。戏剧作品展现了一套官僚程序如何通过建立周密的司法程序，得以进行社会排斥和种族灭绝；如何通过引用相关法律条款、通过将歧视暗植入当地纳粹报纸的煽动性文章中，将这些程序合法化；还有政府官员发出那些信函，告知犹太提词员对她的解聘是合法的，看上去是何等的礼貌、形式上完美无缺……所有这些细节使这部戏剧作品像一部教科书似的告知人们，国家官僚体制如何“公正”地运行。
作为“最值得关注的”十部作品之一，《国家剧院的绊脚石》受邀参加2016年柏林戏剧节。在由吴氏策划主办、北京德国文化中心·歌德学院（中国）协办以及大众（中国）赞助的“2017柏林戏剧节在中国”项目框架下，巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院携《国家剧院的绊脚石》来京演出，并通过丰富多彩的公众活动与观众交流。
Using staff records of StaatstheaterKarlsruhe, director Hans-Werner Kroesinger and dramaturg Regine Durareconstructed the process of anti-Semitic discrimination and the dismissal ofleft-wing and liberal theatre artists after 1933. Actors and audience sittogether at a large work desk.The actors read from files, newspaper reports,memoirs and interviews with contemporary witnesses. Repeatedly, they transitioninto brief passages of acting. We hear how in Karlsruhe, Jewish actors, aJewish prompter and the artistic director were dismissed, arrested, driven intoexile and to suicide. Individual artists are not reduced to mere victims, butpresented in terse, concentrated portraits. The bureaucratic procedure whichprovided a detailed set of legal regulations for social exclusion and thepreparation of a genocide, the legitimation by procedures that liked to concealthis discrimination ininciting articles in the local NS-paper by citing thepertinent legal clause, the polite, formally always correct letters in which achief councilor informed the Jewish prompter that her dismissal was lawful –all these make the production into a lesson about the impartial operation of astate bureaucracy.
As one of the ten most noteworthyGerman-speaking theatre pieces in the previous season, “StolpersteineStaatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre)” was invited to theTheatertreffen 2016 and will now be presented with an extensive program in Julyin Beijing. “Theatertreffen in China 2017” is realized by Wu Promotion incooperation with the Goethe-Institut China and sponsored by Volkswagen China.

德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院
剧院简介IntroductionBadisches Staatstheater Karlsruh
德国巴登州卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院前身可追溯至18世纪的公爵宫廷剧院，现在，剧院由6个机构组成：演出歌剧和音乐会的巴登国家管弦乐团（世界上最古老管弦乐团之一）、演出芭蕾舞剧的国家芭蕾舞团、演出传统和创新戏剧的戏剧院、为儿童和青年项目而设立的青年国家剧院，以及最新成立的致力于实验剧的人民剧院。前五个剧院均有自己的演员，管弦乐队99人，合唱团50人，芭蕾独舞、歌剧、戏剧和青年部演员各30人左右。加上技术人员和行政人员，永久雇员超过700人。这使卡尔斯鲁厄国家剧院成为世界最大综合剧院之一，同时也是该地区雇员国籍最多的剧院之一。剧院雇员来自40多个国家。大多数歌剧演出都有英语字幕。

2017柏林戏剧节在中国
Theatertreffen in China 2017
柏林戏剧节与法国阿维尼翁戏剧节、英国爱丁堡艺术节并称为世界三大戏剧节，是德语区一年一度最重要、规模最大的戏剧艺术节。比起另两个戏剧节的娱乐展演的方式，柏林 戏剧节更着重戏剧的专业性和体现当代的前进方向和最高水平。
2015 年，吴氏策划与柏林艺术节在中国驻德国大使馆文化参赞陈平先生的牵线搭桥下签署了五年的合作协议，于2016 年至2020年连续5年在中国各地举办“柏林戏剧节”。每年，由中德专家组成的评审委员会从当年“柏林戏剧节”的10部“最值得关注”的作品中评选出2-3部于次年出访中国。
2016年柏林戏剧节落户北京、上海，成为了一个表演艺术届的大事件。此前并未有过德语戏剧集中在中国演出的先例，柏林戏剧节的这三部作品撼动我国的戏剧界，演出、工作坊、讲座等多方位的整体策划，让观众们看到了一个全新的舞台世界。
2017年“柏林戏剧节在中国”召集6位评审，柏林艺术节主席托马斯•奥伯伦德博士、中国驻德国使馆文化参赞陈平、北京德国文化 中心• 歌德学院 (中国)院长柯理博士、戏 剧导演孟京辉、柏林戏剧节联合总监丹尼尔 • 里赫特、国家一级编剧、上海话剧艺术中心 副总经理喻荣军，继续为中国观众带来德国 柏林戏剧节的精彩演出。
2017年“柏林戏剧节在中国”由吴氏策划主办，北京德国文化中心·歌德学院（中国）协办，由大众（中国）赞助， 于6月和7月分别在北京天桥剧场上演《他她它》和《国家剧院的绊脚石》。
TheatertreffenBerlin is one of the most important culture events in German-speakingcountries. It is also one of the three most important theatre festivals inEurope, together with Avignon Festival in France and Edinburgh InternationalArts and Fringe Festival in the UK. Though compared with a rather showcasingmode of the other two festivals, Theatertreffen Berlin is rewarding the mostremarkable German spoken theater of the season, reflecting the highest level ofcontemporary theatre making.
Thanks tothe diligent efforts of Mr. Chen Ping, Cultural Attaché of the Chinese Embassyin Germany, Wu Promotion signed in 2015 a five-year agreement with the Dr.Thomas Oberender, Director of the Berliner Festspiele/Theatertreffen, pavingthe way for the Berlin Theatertreffen to be presented in China from 2016 to2020. Each year a jury of theatre experts from China and Germany will selecttwo or three productions from the ten performances staged in Berlin to presentthem in China in the following year under the banner of “Theatertreffen inChina”.
When theTheatertreffen in China was launched in Beijing and Shanghai in 2016, it provedto be a ground-breaking event in the theatrical world in China, sincepreviously there had never been such staging of entire German contemporarytheatre productions in the country. The three plays shook the Chinese theatreprofessionals, and with the largely well received package of shows, framed byworkshops and lectures, it opened new horizons for all participants in theadventure.
To makethe 2017 event a resounding success, we have invited six leading experts to thejury: Dr. Thomas Oberender, Director of the Theatertreffen, Chen Ping, CulturalAttaché of the Chinese Embassy in Germany, Dr. Clemens Treter, Director of theGoethe Institute China, Meng Jinghui, a renowned director in China, DanielRichter, a co-director of the Theatertreffen, and Yu Rongjun, Deputy GeneralManager of the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center. In 2017, we look forward tobringing more exciting productions to the eager and keen theatre audiences inChina.
Thisyear, “Theatertreffen in China” will present “der die mann” and “StolpersteineStaatstheater (Tripping Stones State Theatre)” in June and July at the TianqiaoTheater Beijing. The program is presented by Wu Promotion in cooperation withthe Goethe-Institut China and sponsored by Volkswagen China.
