Text
Aufführung von Othello von William Shakespeare in der Adaptation von Li Rong durch die Shanghai ren min yi shu ju yuan (Shanghai People's Art Theatre) unter der Regie von Lei Guohua und Bühnenbildner Wang Jun.
Li Ruru : The mise-en-scène of the production appears to have been strongly influenced by the 1956 Soviet film version of Othello, directed by Sergei Yutkevich with Sergei Bondarchuk. The production was an attempt to discuss concepts of 'justice and injustice' and 'fairness and unfairness' that Chinese people had not faced since 1949, when the People's Republic of China was founded. Under the Communist regime 'justice' was defined by the revolutionary cause and was limited to the fight between revolutionary and counterrevolutionary. Thus most people never thought they should question what justice was, and those who wanted to do so were either too frightened or, having the courage to speak, were quickly silenced by means of persecution.
