Synopsis: It describes a beautiful, romantic and tragic love story. Quasimodo, a hunchback abandoned by his parents, was adopted as an adopted son by Claude frollo, a vice bishop. When he grew up, he became a bell ringer at Notre Dame de Paris. Although quasimodo is ugly and has many disabilities, she always keeps a noble heart. He fell in love with a gypsy girl: Esmeralda. He executed his adoptive father for her and died of double suicide.
The hunchback of Notre Dame de Paris is based on Hugo's masterpiece Notre Dame de Paris. Its plot is familiar to most people, and the proposition of exploring human nature in the depths of the soul leads to its profound and heavy. It is not as complicated and lengthy as opera, but it gives higher physical expression; Unlike ballet, the plot can only be understood through the body language of the actors. It is the fusion of various artistic expressions. And its separation of song and dance, just a good grasp and interpretation of the tension of human nature in the play, can be described as a classic. What is even more rare is that the play is interspersed with a lot of modern dances. It is understood that these dances are completely performed by professional dancers, many of whom are gymnasts or stuntmen turned from gymnasts, making the dances more energetic and ornamental. When the singer interprets the inner feelings with singing, the dancer expresses the emotional entanglements in the characters' hearts with body language, and displays this emotion in the form of body. The perfect combination of dance and music greatly improves the appreciation of musicals and endows the play with more vitality.
The main actors only sing and don't jump, but they are more like inner monologues, so they feel closer to the soul. The profound lyrics shine with wisdom, and the highly textured melody further endows it with spirituality, which first laid a solid foundation for this musical. Once the solid foundation meets the first-class dance beauty design, the internal foundation is released more thoroughly, and the external form also gives people a more calm tension, so as to shine and jump! This is the most successful place of "The hunchback of Notre Dame de Paris", and I have to praise its dancing beauty again. Under the rendering of dance beauty, the turning point between silence and unrestrained seems to be between pitching, which accurately grasps this internal and external interaction. All the designs can also be said to be original: the iron fence, the big clock and Notre Dame de Paris ... are the combination of reality and reality, fashionable and even avant-garde, but they don't feel artificial-the nobility and elegance made in France.
Another major feature of the play is music. Such diverse music was innovatively put aside, which produced an indescribable wonderful effect, but each capital appropriately portrayed the characters' personalities:
Quasimodo is a kind of rock singing. I am shocked at this point. It's really hard to imagine that a lot of rock music popular underground has reached the elegant hall of musicals and been interpreted deeply. Perhaps it is the innate underground temperament of rock and roll that hits it off with quasimodo's cry of being suppressed in the depths of his soul! Hoarse, sadness, disillusionment, this feeling is like witnessing the scene written at the end: people found two strangely connected bodies in the Eagle Cave, and a deformed man clung to the other female body. When people try to separate them, bones turn to dust … an irresistible pain.
The bishop's singing has a relatively pure opera accent, which first conforms to the religious feeling and solemnity brought by the bishop's status. But his soul is extremely twisted, crazy and even abnormal! Every time his inner conflict is in a strong struggle, under the explosive interpretation of opera singing, this hysterical distortion is raised, raised, and raised again! For an instant, you seem to feel the tension and terror.
Esmeralda's style is very exotic, which not only conforms to her identity as a gypsy woman wandering in Paris, but also highlights her taste: she is bright, pure, fresh, noble and even sacred, as beautiful as an angel. Kind-hearted, she accepted quasimodo's pure soul, whether out of sympathy, gratitude, friendship or even love ... She sang for him, danced for him and comforted his lonely soul.
And the poet Phoebe ...
On the social level, the play reflects the profound social background at that time:
Around 183 1 year, the whole of Europe was in great political turmoil, and the feudal forces and the bourgeoisie were undergoing complex struggles of restoration and repeated restoration. In France, the Bourbon dynasty overthrown in the bourgeois revolution in 1789 was restored in 18 15 with the support of foreign feudal forces. However, the historical trend of the inevitable victory of the bourgeoisie is irresistible. 1In July, 830, a revolution broke out in France, ending the feudal rule restored by Bourbon.
Notre Dame de Paris, adapted from the play, is the writer's total settlement of feudal autocracy and Catholic church crimes by borrowing medieval themes, and also a profound criticism of Bourbon's reactionary tyranny 18 15- 1830. For example, the description of the tramp attacking Notre Dame in the play is actually the reappearance of the Paris 1830 July Revolution. The hunchback of Notre Dame de Paris is an eternal classic, which is like this, and leaving a trace of regret is also a classic. But this regret can't affect it to become a classic. The beauty of deformity shown in the play is unparalleled! True beauty comes from personality, from the heart. Beauty is loved, but it can't stand the test. Quasimodo, although people are like apes, they are not beautiful, but the beauty of personality is better than beauty. Quasimodo showed the beauty of greatness and deformity.
It can be seen that the performing arts on the stage, the social level reflected and the spirit expressed through the plot are very important to a successful stage play. Art expresses spirit, and spirit resides in art.
