Manichaeism and Its Deviations: Study of Anti-Communist Drama in Taiwan Wei-jan CHI Professor, Department of Drama and Theatre, National Taiwan University The study of anti-communist drama of 1950s is important in the sense that it offers a better understanding of the structure of feeling in Taiwan after 1949. The anticommunist drama is undoubtedly escapist, embracing the Ah Q-like spiritual victory in great hysteria. If the driving force of contemporary theatre in Taiwan is the market, the impetus behind the emergence of anti-communist drama was the state apparatus. The anti-communist drama was the product of a post-sacred era; it was a kind of crisis drama that cried out the agony and pain of diaspora. To be sure, it shamelessly served as an instrument of ideological warfare in the feud between KMT and the Red China. Yet, by posing itself as art, it could not totally ignore other concerns such as artistic merits, entertainment factors, and market value. The paper demonstrates that in the process of making itself presentable, entertaining, and marketable, the anticommunist drama was consequently and perhaps unintentionally imbued with elements that deviated from the strict code of manichaeism and thus, to a certain extent, deconstructed itself. Key words: Anti-communist drama melodrama manichaeism political drama politics of drama -171-
