Carnival Play (Fastnachtsspiele)

Japanese: 謝肉祭劇 - しゃにくさいげき(英語表記)Fastnachtsspiele
Carnival Play (Fastnachtsspiele)
A type of secular comedy unique to German citizens that became popular from the 15th century onwards, it was so named because it was performed during Carnival. The majority of the approximately 150 extant works are from Nuremberg, but Carnival plays themselves are found throughout Germany, as well as in Switzerland and Austria. The content began with vulgar subjects such as marriage, love affairs, trials and arguments, but later came to deal with religion, politics and morality. Hans Rosenpruth was the pioneer, and H. Sachs in the 16th century was a representative author.

15世紀からドイツで盛んになった市民固有の世俗的喜劇で,謝肉祭の時期に行われたのでこの名称がある。現存の作品約 150編の大部分はニュルンベルクのものであるが,謝肉祭劇そのものはドイツ全土,スイス,オーストリアにまで及ぶ。内容は結婚,情事,裁判,口論などの卑俗なものに始り,のちには宗教,政治,道徳なども扱うようになった。ハンス・ローゼンプリュートを先駆として,16世紀の H.ザックスが代表的作者である。
