杜子春 「名作の夢世界へ」
芥川龍之介の名作。11月5日、吉祥寺シアターで長谷川葉月さんの朗読劇を鑑賞。昔読んだ小説だがうろ覚えだ。
ある日、金のない杜子春は、唐都の洛陽の城門でたたずんでいた。そこにすがめの老人が「夕日の影の、頭のところを掘ると金銀財宝を手に入れられるぞ！」と言う。そのとおりにして金銀財宝を手に入れた杜子春は友人、知人を呼んで遊び、その財宝をすっかり使い果たした。友人たちは去り、ひとり城門にたたずんでいると、再び老人が現われて・・・・・。こんどは仙人になろうとするが「誘惑、脅しに来る悪霊たちに一言も声をだしてはいけない」と言われて・・・・・。朗読と舞台の背景、音響の効果で感動した。小説をこれほど深く読んだのは初めてかもしれない。
このほかに二葉亭四迷、太宰治の小説の朗読があった。
Toshishun "To the dream world of masterpieces"
A masterpiece by Ryunosuke Akutagawa. November 5, I watched a reading drama by Hazuki Hasegawa at the Kichijoji Theater. It's a novel I read a long time ago, but it's a vague recollection.
One day, without money, Tshishun was standing at the gates of Rakuyo, the capital of Tou. There, an old squint man looking for him says, ``If you dig at the head in the shadow of the setting sun, you can get gold and silver treasures!'' As a result, he acquired gold and silver treasures. Tshishun called his friends and acquaintances to play and used up all his treasure. His friends have left, and when he is standing alone at the castle gate, an old man appears again... Next, he tries to become a hermit, but is told, "Don't say a word to the evil spirits who come to seduce or threaten you." I was moved by the reading, the background of the stage, and the sound effects. This may be the first time I've read a novel in such depth.
In addition, Futabatei Shimei and Osamu Dazai's novels were read aloud.
