On the evening of April 11, the NCPA drama "Jane Eyre", written by Yu Rongjun and directed by Wang Xiaoying, kicked off with the familiar piano sound and ushered in the 17th round of performances.
The much-anticipated "new partners" Zhu Jie and Pu Cunxin have brought new vitality to this classic with their soulful stage performances.
The curtain opened, and the silent piano, dusty suitcase, and Jane Eyre in a long gray dress formed a still-life-like stage.
The woman standing outside the door of Thornfield Manor not only touched the fate engine of everyone in Thornfield Manor, but also brought the audience back to nineteenth-century England.
The slowly revolving stage is simple and dignified, subtly changing into manors, wilderness and country cottages, filled with a Victorian atmosphere, forming a powerful complement to the protagonist's character.
Jane Ai, played by Zhu Jie, is tough and tough, with a warm and sensitive self under her rational and calm appearance.
Whether it was the first meeting with Rochester, or the mockery of the noble lady at the reception, she was picturesque and neither humble nor arrogant.
In Jane Eyre's silent blank, her childhood life is interspersed in a "montage" way.
In Jane Eyre's childhood when she lacked love and was bullied, her friend Helen was like a beam of light illuminating her dark heart.
"Our life is too short, don't hold so much resentment." The addition of Jane Eyre's forgiveness to her aunt is also one of the major plot changes in this version of the play after its tenth anniversary performance.
It is such a soul who has experienced darkness but has a good heart that "half of my life is spent in indescribable pain and boring and desolate loneliness" Rochester said with emotion: "It was you who made me see the best in my nature. On the bright side, you are my angel of light." Pu Cunxin, who played Rochester, showed the manor owner, who was arrogant and rude in appearance and full of love in his heart, as flesh-and-blood, affectionate and interesting, which not only made the characters very lively and lovely, but also showed his thoughts. The relationship between them understood in: "Rochester was a man who had been hurt by life, had doubts and even misunderstood it, but Jane Eyre gave him the transformation. They floated in the tide of fate and caught them when they were about to drown. Each other, completed the mutual redemption of the soul."
Pu Cunxin once said that the highest compliment Tong Daoming, a famous drama scholar, gave him was the evaluation of "Pu Cunxin is an actor who improves himself through roles".
Now, when we see Pu Cunxin's version of Rochester on the stage, we all think that he is an "actor who achieves mutual achievements with classic roles".
The complex and profound classic roles gave him a lot of room to play, and he also brought a new artistic personality and charm to the role with his consummate yet sincere and natural performance.
After a big fire, Jane, whom I realized in my heart, returned to the manor. After the change, she reunited with the lonely Rochester. Beside the fallen leaves, the bench and the piano under the sunset, a love story based on equality and dignity came to an end. .
As director Wang Xiaoying said: "For today's Chinese audiences, Jane Eyre should be a love classic with philosophical connotations. The real value of this touching story is not only that a lover gets married, but it also contains the love for the essence of love. Urgent questioning and deep concern for the connotation of human nature. I hope that today's "Jane Eyre" will bring the audience a deeper moving, which not only has a warm heartbeat, but also a quiet reflection. Jane Eyre and Rochester The spiritual blending process of acquaintance, mutual understanding, communication, fusion, love and entrustment is like a fresh and meaningful song of life, which not only moistens our eyes, but also moistens our souls.”
It is reported that the play will continue to be staged until April 14.
