《牽鑽》及其創作說明

Abstract

本論文分成兩大部份，前半部是畢業劇本的內容，後半部則是針對畢業劇本所作的創作說明。 《牽鑽》是一部四幕六景的現代舞台劇劇本，講述台灣南部鄉村裡，一個歷史悠久的王姓家族，因為家中大家長過世，舉辦「牽鑽」的祭祀儀式，造成了生活上怎麼樣的變化。劇中透過一個外人的角度，帶著偷窺的性質，去探索這個家族長久以來的祕密，以及人物間的愛恨糾葛。戲中戲的後設劇情，引出各個角色對於「家」和「寬容」的看法，經過儀式的洗滌之後，最終每個人做了不同的選擇，造成了不同命運的結局。 創作說明則包含劇本的創作緣起、劇情分析、人物分析、文獻探討等等，在當中闡述了自己內心的想法，也透過簡單的說明完成、圓滿了整個創作。
