传统文化 Included in UNESCO's Intangible
Cultural Heritage list,Chinese shadow puppetry (皮影戏)is considered one of the nation's oldest forms of material performance.Annie Katsura Rollins, who is based in Toronto and researching Chinese shadow puppetry,has spent years developing expertise(专业技能)in Chinese shadow puppetry and making great efforts to help it survive a battle with cultural changes,urbanisation, and modern forms of
entertainment.
“ There's an antediluvian understanding of
what tradition is,” says Rollins.“ We think it's
old and what once was.Actually,traditions are
always changing in history and we just fail to
witness it.To survive,the tradition needs to be
with the present and be looking toward the
future."
Rollins was in charge of the exhibition
“ Immaterial Remains:Can You Preserve a
Shadow?",which aimed to not only display the
art form but also focus on the question of how to
preserve shadow puppetry in China. In the
exhibition,the finely carved details of clothing,
facial features,and hair were obvious in the
shadows of the puppets,which were in motion
as air flowed,bringing them to life on the walls.
Samples of the dried cowhide(牛皮)used to
make the puppets were available for visitors to
touch and feel.A video demonstrated how the
puppets are made and operated.Rollins notes,
“ If you can eat with chopsticks,you too can
work a shadow puppet.”
She says the years she spent learning from
master puppeteers in small villages remain the
best way to carry on the traditions of Chinese
shadow puppetry into the future,which she
describes as practitioner-led(由从业者主导的)
creativity..“ I think that is the key to really
keeping the form growing,developing,and
relevant to current society and culture,” Rollins
says. “ We need to emphasize the live
performance as a method of preservation so that
every time it's performed,it's being continued
in its original form rather than in pictures or
videos.Those things only show part of what a
live performance is."
