“红”色年华的剧场 —儿童剧社（1965-1980）研究 = Theatre of the Red Era : a case study of the children's playhouse (1965-1980)

儿童剧社产生于一个独特的时期，因新加坡总体大环境的需要而粉墨登场，也随着种种局势的更变落幕。剧社通过广播、戏剧、刊物等，在灰黄之中宣传健康文艺，同时也栽培了一批富有憧憬的青少儿。当中国文革意识传入新马，儿童剧社的演出也开始呈献出富有革命色彩的样板特征，体现出“红”色动员剧场。但如同时期剧社一样，在1976年一群文艺工作者被内安法令拘捕后淡出了大舞台，直到1982 年后才以崭新的姿态重 返戏剧界。本文将探讨儿童剧社、姐妹剧团青年剧社及剧社解散随之创立的青年剧团，所产生 的剧场特征和动员意义。“The Children’s Playhouse” blossomed in the newly independent country, but dwindled along with the turn of events in the turbulent era. Through different mediums like radio, dramas and publications, “The Children’s Playhouse” propagated healthy values and nurtured a group of passionate members that eventually became teachers of the Arts and Culture. During the Cultural Revolution, communist ideologies seeped into “The Children’s Playhouse” and performances along the theme were staged. As with other groups of its era, she faded off the drama scene in 1976 after a group of dramatist were arrested under the Internal Security Act. Passionate members made a comeback in 1982 under the name “The Youth Players”, and were steered toward an entirely new direction. The paper seeks to analyse the characteristics and significance of “The Children’s Playhouse”, “The Youth Playhouse”, and “The Youth Players”.Bachelor of Art
