Chapter 22 Realize the wonderful ideal first on the stage

I was with the children around me, watching the performance of the science fiction drama "Flying Out of the Earth" with great excitement and joy.Every time after another game, when the velvet curtain slowly closes, I, like them, can't wait for the velvet curtain to reopen! The velvet curtain was pulled back for the first time: the blue sky, with a few stars twinkling, and in front of it was a huge silver rocket with the "Star Torch" logo painted on it.Next to the rocket, like a plane about to launch, stands a steel ladder.The young pioneers who were responsible for building the Young Pioneers City on the moon came to the stage one by one, and their instructors—academicians of science, and the old grandmother of the team members, Xiao Fatty, were nervously and happily taking off meticulously. Prepare.At this time, our hearts followed them closely, and we boarded the rocket and flew to the moon with them.

During this unusual journey and after arriving on the moon, what novel, thrilling, and interesting things did the little travelers we care about, their instructors, and grandma encounter? Let’s leave it to the children to see for themselves. My impression after watching "Flying Out of the Earth" is: This is a very successful children's play.The development of the plot firmly attracts the audience from beginning to end, full of optimistic, brave, fresh and lively atmosphere.There are many scientific problems in the play, such as in an environment without air, matter is weightless, sound cannot be conveyed, and "time is relative", etc., are concretely expressed in vivid and humorous stage actions and dialogues .These vivid impressions will make the children associate with the scientific principles and firmly remember them.

The performances of the young actors (including non-professional members of the Red Scarf Drama Troupe) are almost beyond reproach.They acted so naturally and proficiently, as if they were working and playing together on a rocket or on the moon.This is also understandable. "Flying Out of the Earth" is not an ordinary drama, and there is no script. Many wishes and illusions are now displayed on the stage one by one, section by section; those "lines" are also the "voice of the heart" that comes out very naturally when seeing the scene.This story originated from a team meeting of Beijing Experimental Middle School in 1956. In the past two years, with the help of the Beijing Planetarium and the Central Academy of Drama, the form and content have been enriched. With the assistance of the Nineteenth Middle School and the Beijing Youth Science and Technology Museum, it took half a month to be rehearsed by the China Children's Theater.So the wonderful ideal shared by the children was officially put on the stage.In this way, six schools, professional theaters, and scientific and educational institutions collaborated to complete an educational play, encouraging and inducing children to march bravely towards culture, science and technology, and to quickly explore the fantasy of exploring the beautiful and endless starry sky. wings.This is a new thing that could not have been imagined in the past. This is the specific process from daring to think, daring to speak, and daring to do.

Today, when the motherland is advancing rapidly, the children who are the least worried, least superstitious, and most dare to think, speak and do have also performed one of the many miracles today. But I believe this is just the beginning!I am very happy to hear that the Beijing Theater will be changed into a children's theater from now on, and children's plays will be performed in rotation every day.This is great news.Drama is a good venue for children to let their imagination run wild.Study and study well, connect with reality, think deeply, and then discuss collectively. With the help of various professional art groups and educational institutions, the era of children "writing by themselves, acting by themselves, and showing to children" will definitely be able to Arrived early.
