Public Talk: "Typical popular culture of Taiwan: Budaixi 布袋戲 (Glove Puppetry, Taiwanisches Puppentheater)" |
|
|
Datum: 16.10.09 |
|
|
In a recent survey in Taiwan, the traditional puppet theatre (布袋戲 Budaixi) was chosen as most representative of Taiwanese culture. Budaixi preserves representative aspects of history, language and culture in a very concentrated way. As a popular form of theatre with many details and quick changes, Budaixi easily touches the heart of the people. Compared to the Kunqu (崑曲) opera, which only highly educated scholars can understand, the dialogues in Budaixi are interesting for both highly educated and common people. The construction of the script contains traditional values as loyalty (忠), piety (孝), moral conduct (節) and justice (義), as well as popular topics like love (愛情), humor (詼諧) and martial arts (武林). Budaixi is a play for the gods (酬神戲) and a minimized form of traditional opera. Its variety is so wide and manifold that anybody can enjoy this form of entertainment. This is a public talk within the Taiwan Lecture Series and at the same time the first meeting of the course "Learn Taiwanese language with puppet theater". |

Language Course Taiwanese: "Learn Taiwanese language with puppet theater" |

Jeden Donnerstag und Freitag |
Examples of Budaixi on the internet: Music plays an important part in Budaixi: |

By letting puppets act on a stage, the Taiwanese language will become easy to access and joyful to learn. We will combine basic dialogues with gestures and actions, so the students can get an impression of the whole situation and easily remember the new words and sounds. The contents of the course will contain daily language, interesting common sayings and easy poems. The course is designed to be an interactive introduction to the Taiwanese language. |

The course examines the relationship between the state and culture in post-war Taiwan.

These are followed by two lectures on the development and themes of contemporary popular Taiwanese culture. |
