The 2000 Nobel Laureate for Literature, Gao Xingjian, suffered cardiac arrest while directing rehearsals for his mega-scale opera Snow in August that was due to premiere in late 2002 at the National Opera House, Taipei. He recovered, and the opera premiered as scheduled with the help of a co-director before he returned to Paris to direct the Comédie Français premiere of his Quatre quatuors pour un week-end. He underwent surgery in February and March of 2003, but was soon again back at work. The year 2003 had been designated “Gao Xingjian Year” by the City of Marseille, and he would direct his new play Le Quêteur de la Mort at Théâtre du Gymnase, and then his Snow in August at Opéra de Marseille. It was during rehearsals for the former that he collapsed again, and was hospitalized: the play was co-directed by Romain Bonnin, 23–26 September 2003. Large exhibitions of Gao’s artworks had been held earlier that year, but the performance of Snow in August was postponed. During his recuperation for most of 2004, he sometimes wrote poems, some of which he later polished or rewrote for his collection Wandering Spirit and Metaphysical Thoughts (2012).These translations from the Chinese into English of the first 9 poems in Wandering Spirit and Metaphysical Thoughts (2012) are by acclaimed translator Mabel Lee.

Récipiendaire du prix Nobel de littérature, Gao Xingjian est notamment l’auteur de La Montagne de l’âme et de plusieurs pièces de théâtre. Cela dit, on ignore souvent qu’il a également signé plusieurs traductions. Cet entretien réalisé avec Gao Xingjian le 10 septembre 2015 à l’occasion du 5e Congrès des études asiatiques et pacifiques qui s’est tenu à L’Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) à Paris, est l’occasion d’apporter un éclairage sur son travail de traducteur. L’entretien a été réalisé en chinois, puis traduit en anglais et en français.

Contemporary Artist

How to visit China with Beckett ? A contemporary artist may be our guide for this discovery and create a bridge between different realities, cultures and perspectives that are not so easy to compare. Gao Xingjian is, like Beckett, a Nobel Prize winner, in exile in Paris, a novelist, theater writer, film director and inventor of languages. The influence of Beckett with Gao has been evident when his piece Chezhan was performed in 1983 in Beijing. It seems that beckettian resonances have become even more apperent after Gao's departure from China. The Beckettian 'filiation' so throws its light on an even moving which, in stead of a visit to China, invites us to an exploration of an individuality.
