This study examines the development and influence of Jon Fosse’s works in China from the perspectives of reception and reinterpretation. By analyzing the translation, performance, and dissemination of his works, the study explores audience feedback, identifies the characteristics and challenges of his creations, and discusses how cultural, aesthetic, and historical differences impact the reception of his works. It also investigates the barriers in cross-cultural communication and cases of cultural misinterpretation, as well as the diverse pathways of reinterpretation in drama, literature, and film adaptation. Furthermore, the study highlights the cultural value and social significance of the dissemination of Fosse’s works, emphasizing their inspiration for Chinese drama and the construction of cultural interaction. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between Fosse’s works and Chinese aesthetics, and to promote the dissemination and localization of Nordic literature in China.
