本研究は能をめぐる国際交流の姿を, 主に日本とフランス語圏との関係に注目して具体的に解明した。ベルギー象徴派劇詩人メーテルランクの作品を翻案した新作能, フランス象徴派劇詩人クローデルが能に触発されて創作したオラトリオから着想を得て創作された新作能, 及びクローデル作品を能劇化した創作能を分析し, 能という舞台芸術が持つ, 言葉を超えた普遍性を浮き彫りにした。また, クローデルを介した能が異文化間で共有できる世界遺産となっていることが確認され, 能をめぐる国際交流の中でのクローデルの重要性が明らかになった。
This research concretely elucidated the form that international exchanges over Noh take, in particular the relation between Japan and the French-speaking regions of the world in this matter. I analyzed new Noh works adapting works of Belgium Symbolic theater related poet Maurice Maeterlinck as well as the new Noh inspired by "oratorio dramatique" by French Symbolic theater related poet Claudel, which theater piece itself received inspiration from Noh. I analyzed also Claudel's work that has been rendered as a piece a Noh theater. This study, closely investigating theses adaptations, put into relief the universality beyond words that is implicit in the performing art of Noh.
Through Claudel it can be affirmed that Noh, which is recognized under the UN's World Heritage designation, can be shared among different cultures. The importance of Claudel in the international exchange surrounding Noh must also not be overlooked.
