「閱讀」《增幅》的幾種方法

來自日本的Sal Vanilla從劇名《增幅》(amplified)的構思便直接向觀眾提出擴大、澎漲的概念,而在藝術表現手法上選用了多媒體劇場形式,使表演藝術的領域向媒體科技方向延展。他們運用的已不單是純粹傳統舞台表演的技巧,也不止是數碼科技的賣弄,我們看見新的藝術語言,講述我們正處於的數碼年代。 導演Gige Hizume利用五個肢體(包括自己),作整體演出的脈絡,有效地與多種科技媒體契合。以成立了十年的一個多媒體表演團,Sal Vanilla已走上成熟階段,並不流於形式的試驗,反而在表演中誠實又尖銳地解構現代生活,在劇場中重新呈現。

Watching Il n’y a plus de firmament at Kwai Tsing Theatre was a weird thing: the red velvet chair had grown some arms and legs, warped around you and slowly rotated in 3-dimensional manner. The 1 ½ hour long performance was definitely not an ordinary experience of traditional dance or drama. It’s more like riding with a wicked walking chair into a surrealistic gallery – a visual journey in theatrical form.
