Abstract

This article is an attempt to trace the emergence and development of Palestinian theater in the shadow of the Israeli-Arab conflict and against the background of the Nakba and Palestinian nation-building. It examines the first dramatic and theatrical attempts made during the first half of the twentieth century, the uprooting and the decline of these efforts after the 1948 War, the repression of Palestinian cultural activities during the 1950s, and the new start and subsequent growth of professional Palestinian theater after 1967, espe- cially with regard to the al-Ḥakawātī troupe. The founder of this troupe was François Abū Sālim (Abu Salem) (1951-2011), the son of a Hungarian-born French poet and a French painter and sculptor, who integrated himself into Palestinian identity and culture. The pro- fessionalization of Palestinian theater in general has been taking a line parallel to the escalation of resistance and has lived up to numerous historical challenges, defying the hardships imposed on the Palestinian people by Israeli government censorship, geographical isolation, and lack of education.
"活死人的新时代":通过戏剧建设巴勒斯坦国
本文试图追溯巴勒斯坦戏剧在以色列-阿拉伯冲突的阴影下、在浩劫和巴勒斯坦建国背景下的兴起和发展。文章探讨了二十世纪上半叶最初的戏剧和舞台表演尝试、1948 年战争后这些尝试的根除和衰落、二十世纪五十年代对巴勒斯坦文化活动的压制,以及 1967 年后巴勒斯坦专业戏剧的新起点和随后的发展,特别是 al-Ḥakawātī 剧团。该剧团的创始人是弗朗索瓦-阿布-萨利姆(François Abū Sālim,1951-2011 年),他是匈牙利出生的法国诗人和法国画家及雕塑家的儿子,他将自己融入了巴勒斯坦的身份和文化中。巴勒斯坦戏剧的职业化一直与抵抗运动的升级并行不悖,并经受住了无数历史挑战,不畏以色列政府的审查制度、地理隔离和教育匮乏给巴勒斯坦人民带来的苦难。
