Operating the Tent Theatre—the influence of Euro-American, Japanese on the work of “Haibizi” Troupe / 解析帳篷戲劇—從歐美、日本影響到「海筆子」的運作

碩士 / 中國文化大學 / 戲劇學系 / 102 / “Haibizi” is often classified as a public theatre. Its theatre thinking and acting styles are often compared to Bertolt Brecht’s theatre theory. But what differentiate between “Haibizi” from public theatre or political theatre, especially Brecht’s physical and theoretical ? Tent theatre is a kind of theatrical form that developed in the particular social contexts of “struggle for security procedure” in the 1960’s and 1970’s in Japan. It is also under the influence of European and American avant-garde movements. Certain traditional civil aesthetics awareness is required to understand European and American avant-garde movements, clearly define the tent theatre impact and development context, and also to further analyze "Haibizi."
No study of “Haibizi” in Taiwan has, yet been traced back to traditional civil aesthetics. Western drama has been viewed from Japanese perspective view, which is probably different from Western drama in real traditional civil theatre. Therefore, this study gives an overview of the development of Western drama from the traditional civil aesthetics, the public theater, political theater to the twentieth century theatre experiment. It then explores the cross-section of contemporary postwar Japanese theatre trying to find out the impact that led to tent theatre. Finally it traces tent theatre experience of the head of “Haibizi” Daizou Sakurai, from Japan to Taiwan, to analyze “Haibizi” company operations.
In the end, the study compares “Haibizi” and Brecht’s theatre theory. Both of them changed the functionality of drama. Howere, unlike Brecht, who insisted theatre nature and professionalism, "Haibizi" aims not to enhance the artistic level, but to create a consensus of “anti-capitalism” in East Asia Region. When the ultimate goal of the theater is no longer achieving art and “theatre” became an implementation tool, should “Haibizi” still be called tent “theatre”?
