Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Meng Jinghui, whose name has gained increasing popularity in China in the past fifteen years, is undoubtedly the most influential stage director of 先鋒戲劇 in Chinese theatrical circles. Referred to Experimental Theatre or Small Theatre in China, 先鋒戲劇 has been experimenting new theatrical presentations that have not previously seen in China. Though controversial from the very beginning, Meng Jinghui has won more and more audience. With the box-office success of his 2005 production Amber, which is reviewed by some as a repetition of some previous productions of his without breakthrough, people begin to doubt about Meng Jinghui’s creativity and his leading role as a pioneer artist who seems to be naturally away from pop culture and commercialization. Investigating the birth and growth of Experimental Theatre in China, this paper gives a glimpse of Meng Jinghui’s major productions and what he has tried to do in this field called 先鋒戲劇. The paper gives credit to Meng Jinghui’s long time efforts of making his dream true ---- to make theatre going a mainstream culture in China, which would surely prove him to be the great pioneer of Chinese Experimental theatre. Key words: Meng Jinghui, Experimental Theatre, pioneer Resume: Meng Jinghui etait de plus en plus repute dans les quinze dernieres annees. Il est sans aucun doute le metteur en scene le plus influant du drame d’avant-garde chinois d’aujourd’hui. Le drame d’avant-garde en Chine, en d’autres termes le drame d’essai ou le petit theatre a l’etranger essaie tout le temps de nouvelles techniques d’expression sceniques. Bien que conteste, Meng conquiert de plus en plus de spectateurs. Son œuvre de 2005 « Ambre » a fait recette, mais aux yeux des autres, cette piece, repetition de ses ouvrages precedents, manque de nouveaute . Donc la creativite et le role d’un artiste pionnier detache de la culture courante et la commercialisation sont contestes. Cet essai explore l’apparition et le developpement du drame d’essai chinois ainsi que les ouvrages principaux sceniques de Meng. En affirmant les contributions que Meng Jinghui a apporte au drame d’essai, cet article indique qu’il sera l’avant-garde exceptionnelle du drame d’essai de la Chine. Mots-Cles: Meng Jinghui, drame d’essai, avant-garde

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
