從美國劇場理論家理察•謝喜納(Richard Schechner)的環境劇場，探討傳統文史思維。以廣義與狹義的環境劇場為骨幹，神話與歷史故事為身軀，太極與太鼓之表演方法為血脈，將東方文化傳統與西方表演藝術合而為一。透過劇場展演，暸解傳統文史思維之價值與傳承，以此傳統文史與表演藝術的結合與發展，使劇場藝術創作者探究文化傳統的價值與意義，傳遞文化傳統於劇場藝術觀賞者，進而在創作者與觀賞者問形成對於傳統文史之嶄新解讀與釋義，彰顯文化傳統之精神與價值。《卦》乃依據太極及五行之概念出發，藉由西方前衛劇場－環境劇場為表演形式，運用非西方的表演訓練方法－太極拳與太鼓，展現神話及歷史故事，開拓東西文化融合之通識教育。本文將分三部份，其一走環境劇場的定義與形式，其二是《卦》劇中的傳統文史思維，其三是《卦》劇的表現技法與意涵。另結論之。

The purpose of this study is to explore traditional culture and history thinking based on American theorist Richard Schechner's environmental theatre. The performance of Gua utilizes general and specific definition of environmental theatre, Chinese myth and history stories and the performance theories of Tai-Chi and Tai-Ko to integrate eastern traditional culture with eastern performance theories. The aim of Gua is to make the theatre artists to discover the value and meaning of tradition and culture and then to deliver traditional value and meaning to theatre audience throughout the Gua production. Based on the concepts of Tai-Chi and the Five Elements, Gua was intended to expand the general education of integrated eastern and western cultures through the format of environmental theatre and the performance training of Tai-Chi and Tai-Ko. There are three parts. The first part is the definition and format of environmental theatre, the second is the traditional culture and hi story thinking of Gua, and the third part is the performance theories and meaning of Gua.
