Staging the International Embrace: George Leslie Mackay Narratives on Taiwanese Stages
No full textJosh Stenberg considers three Taiwanese productions of the last ten years (puppetry, Western opera, xiqu), which have dramatized the life of nineteenth-century Presbyterian missionary George Leslie Mackay. The article connects the way in which a Canadian white foreigner is represented on stage with Taiwan’s anxiety surrounding its lack of international recognition, arguing that Mackay has been enlisted in Taiwanese nation-building theatre as a wish-fulfilling stand-in for desirable foreigner behaviour. Since the legitimacy and characteristics of an autonomous Taiwanese consciousness (like Canadian identity) are disputed and evolving, this case serves to examine theatre as a medium during an embryonic stage in the production of nationhood: the Mackay productions are theatre for a nation that—depending substantially on foreign attitudes—may or may not yet be produced. Furthermore, attention to this Canadian character abroad broadens the discussion of Canadian intercultural theatre by drawing attention to how, since identities are dialogic, Canadians are not the only ones who get to decide who we are or what we mean.Dans cette contribution, Josh Stenberg examine trois productions taiwanaises des dix dernières années (théâtre de marionnettes, opéra occidental, xiqu) qui ont adapté pour la scène la vie de George Leslie Mackay, un missionnaire presbytérien du XIX e siècle. Dans son analyse, Stenberg établit un rapport entre la représentation dont fait l’objet sur scène un étranger canadien de race blanche et l’anxiété ressentie à Taïwan face au manque de reconnaissance de ce pays à l’échelle mondiale. Selon Stenberg, le théâtre taïwanais qui est au service de l’édification du pays se sert de Mackay pour représenter le comportement que l’on souhaite voir chez l’étranger. Puisque la légitimité et les caractéristiques d’une conscience taïwanaise autonome (comme l’identité canadienne) sont encore contestées et en pleine évolution, ce cas nous permet d’examiner le théâtre en tant que medium au cours du stade embryonnaire d’une nation en devenir, sachant que les pièces sur Mackay sont destinées à une nation qui—en grande partie selon les attitudes des étrangers—pourraient ne jamais voir le jour. Qui plus est, l’attention portée à ce personnage canadien à l’étranger sert à élargir la discussion sur le théâtre interculturel canadien en nous rappelant que puisque les identités sont dialogiques, les Canadiens ne sont pas les seuls à même de décider qui nous sommes et ce que nous signifions
