演出介紹

2016台北首演

導演—林正宗
「以當代馬戲編織出社會的想像與吶喊」馬戲雜技+竹子工藝+聲音裝置+影像

光影與聲音的跨域空間對話從歷史圖像的面貌中,映照出社會的問題與想像,組構起現今臺灣與日治時期的生活流行與社會狀況做串聯。如果蔣渭水與鄧雨賢在現今的社會,對於當代的問題與矛盾,會產生什麼憧憬與想像?以馬戲的戲劇性與象徵性語彙和物件的操作,交融在竹子工藝的多變性中,演繹一段社會象徵的圖像,多媒體影像與聲音裝置的感官震盪,讓馬戲編織出社會的沉重與吶喊。如果你還在,問題會迎刃而解嗎﹖

Interweaving social fantasies and clamors in contemporary circus

Circus and Acrobatics+Bamboo Craft+Voice Equipment+The Dialogue of the Light and Shadow

Social issues and fantasies are often made manifest when considered in the historical context. Suppose the two well-known figures in Taiwan’s history — Chiang Wei-shui and Teng Yu-hsien — were alive today. What would they want and think when seeing issues and conflicts in modern society? In this show, we will re-present social scenes of symbolic significance by employing contemporary circus concepts and languages and innovative juggling gears made by bamboos . With interplay of sound and images, these fantasies and clamors in society will come together into flesh in contemporary circus.

If here you stayed, would we find a way out?

The performance uses the drama and symbol to explain the hidden problem. This is my exploration of the work and the social dialogue, and also to stimulate the audiences’ different imagination of the circus and this society.

The performance styles are such as craft, Technology installations, interact circus. They are from the original skills to the different professional artists. Contemporary circus is mixed with drama and craft which has its own artistic tension.

Bamboo is not only the equipment, but also one part of this performance which is showing the Taiwanese art craft. This show has using the body, circus, bamboo craft, image and music to represent the non-language performance. Because of the symbol, it doesn’t limit the imagination.
