- Abstract: A Man’s Woman, an experimental Kunqu opera produced by the Shanghai Kunqu Opera Troupe, adapts Macbeth—one of Shakespeare’s four great tragedies. While Shakespearean drama and traditional Chinese opera share numerous points of convergence, they manifest distinct tragic aesthetic characteristics within a cross-cultural context. Grounded in conventional Kunqu vocal traditions, The Lady of Macbeth employs uniquely innovative narrative perspectives and stage presentation—particularly through the recurring red imagine symbolizing lust for power and destruction, and the groundbreaking use of three actors jointly portraying Macbeth to multidimensionalize his psychological complexity. Within a compact 90-minute performance, it successfully reinterprets the Western classic Macbeth through an Eastern aesthetic lens. Departing from the original framework, the opera recasts Lady Macbeth as the protagonist. This reinvention of the female lead, alongside its innovative performance forms and visual symbols, constitutes a cross-cultural theatrical adaptation of significant research value. 上海昆剧团创排的实验性昆曲《夫的人》，改编自莎士比亚四大悲剧之一的《麦克白》。莎剧与中国戏曲虽存在诸多契合点，但在跨文化语境下亦呈现出不同的悲剧美学特征。《夫的人》以传统规范的唱腔为基础，结合独特创新的叙事视角与舞台呈现——尤其以贯穿全剧的红色意象象征权力欲望与毁灭，并创新性地由三位演员共同塑造麦克白一角以立体呈现其复杂心理——在不足90分钟的演出中，成功运用东方美学对西方经典《麦克白》进行了重新诠释。该剧突破原著框架，将麦克白夫人塑造为全剧主角。这一女性形象的重塑，连同其表演形式与视觉符号的创新，共同构成了一次富有研究价值的跨文化戏剧改编尝试。
