The "Little Theater Movement" is a dramatic movement that flourished in Europe and the United States at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Due to the strong experimental and artistic nature of the little theatre movement, it has had a profound influence on the modernization/modernity of drama art. This article focuses on Le Midi Little Theatre Movement by Tian Han (1898-1968), tracing back to the influence of the Tsukiji Shōgekijō, aiming not only to fill the current gaps in related research in terms of materials and contents, but also to re-examine the significance of the Le Midi Little Theatre Movement from the perspectives of theatrical practice and movement, and to focus on the important role of the Japanese theatre to the Chinese little theatre movement. This article first discusses how Tian Han's visit to the Tsukiji Shōgekijō became an important origin for his initiation of the Le Midi Little Theatre Movement immediately after returning to China, and how it led to his left-turn in terms of politics and drama. This article then expounds how the Le Midi Little Theatre Movement echoed the stage practice of Tsukiji Shōgekijō, and also re-understands how Tian Han's one-act plays acted as a pioneering practice in experimental theatre at the time. Finally, this article points out how Le Midi Weekly served as an important field for Tian Han to introduce the theory and practice of Tsukiji Shōgekijō, and re-understands the left-turn of the theatrical activities of Tian Han. |
