Richard Schechner 來港前暖場活動|大師經典作品放映會
(Scroll down for English)
表演研究開創者、環境劇場宗師 Richard Schechner於11月來港前,流白之間很難得獲得他的授權,先以他的兩部標誌性作品作暖場:一部是 2014 年把奧菲莉亞與《O 的故事》疊在同一現場、讓觀眾走入空間的後期代表作;一部 1968 年把希臘悲劇放進紐約車房、改寫觀眾與演員關係的里程碑。兩場放映後均有討論環節,由多倫多大學戲劇、劇場與表演研究中心博士生吳紹熙遙距帶領觀眾整理觀看經驗及分享交流,為流白稍後與大師面對面的工作做好準備。
Before Richard Schechner — founder of Performance Studies and a defining figure of environmental theatre — arrives in Hong Kong this November, Blank Space Studio has been granted a rare authorisation from him to present two of his signature works as a warm-up. One is a later major work from 2014 that layers Ophelia with Story of O in a single live event and invites spectators into the space. The other is the 1968 milestone that placed a Greek tragedy inside a New York garage and rewrote the relationship between audience and performers.Each screening is followed by a discussion led remotely by Larry Ng, a PhD student at the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Toronto, to help audiences process what they have seen and prepare for Blank Space Studio’s forthcoming face-to-face work with the master.
