It can be translated as "closing speech" or "closing address". It is usually when one of the actors comes on stage at the end of the main story of a play and thanks the audience for watching the play while providing commentary, explanations, previews of the next performance, and sometimes critiques the political and social issues of the time. It is part of the classical theatrical style, which had its roots in Greek tragedy, passed through the Middle Ages, reached its peak during the Restoration of England, and continued until the late 18th century. In the 19th century, it was abolished by the realist theater movement as it was considered unnatural. It is also used in the final chapters of poems and novels, and in music such as opera, and in a broader sense, it can also be used to mean the conclusion of something. It is the opposite of prologue.

「閉幕の辞」とか「納め口上」と訳される。劇の本筋が終わったところで俳優の1人が舞台に登場して、いままで見てきた劇について、注釈、弁明、次回の公演の予告、ときには当時の政治社会問題への批評を加えたりしながら、観劇を観客に感謝するのを一般とする。すでにギリシア悲劇に萌芽(ほうが)がみられ、中世を経てイギリスの王政復古期に全盛を迎え、18世紀後半まで続いた古典的演劇様式の一部。19世紀に入ると写実主義演劇運動により不自然として廃止された。また、詩、小説などの終章や、オペラなど音楽に用いられることもあり、広義には物事の結びの意味に使用されることもある。プロローグ(前口上)の対(つい)の用語。 [高師昭南] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
