live performance

Third installment of Nordic

Right now I am taking part in Ming-Hwa Yeh’s third version of a piece we began working on around August 2014. The resulting performance at that time was called Nordic and in its new version, Dreamin’ MoNTUE, it has become an installation with frequent live performances by Ming-Hwa, pianist A-Kwan and myself. Right now my appearances have mainly been for one visitor at an appointed time.

So far this is a very interesting experiment, where my previous role as a sort of wandering local spirit or genius loci and shaman, receives a more open-form performance component: I basically do whatever I fancy, from talking and singing to playing and just watching.

Performances last till early May and I will resume my participation after coming back from Shanghai next week.

驫舞劇場 陳武康
《裝死》

儀式的終了,人生直如一副微縮後的冷暖光影。

在《裝死》中,於紐約舞台設計師Mimi Lien所闢出的活且多變的空間裡,陳武康以其獨樹一幟的編舞風格,創作出調性詼諧的人生即景。現場,由音樂家李世揚帶領的樂團,引領出一幕幕繁複的視覺聲響畫面,舞蹈的脈動自節奏而生,止於儀式的終了,人生直如一副微縮後的冷暖光影。

人哪,彼此依靠,心跳和體溫是共同分享的撫慰;
在社會化的練習裡,符應你的腳本,裝扮,
兼演人群中的面孔,為我們舞台風景上的另一種現實。

別急著嘔出胃裡的罪惡,請在我的墳上款款,搖擺,
因為我們終將在長戴這副妝容的那一天,同歸於人間歡慶墮落的集合。

不為呼告而來,這場儀式我們用舞蹈謳歌。
