市中隐者/ 气息尚在 Invisibility/Breathing



戏聚现场:演出现场
市中隐者/气息尚在
Cake 剧场(新加坡)

不安份的人。
这一分钟他在贫瘠的荒原,下一刻他在某城市的公厕。
下下一刻,他带着一本书,坐在岩石上。
再下一刻,他拖着尸袋跨越尘世。
不安份的人。
他渴望消失。
渔夫和声名狼藉的女人。 他们与不安份的人交往。
他们不知道他从何处来,往何处去。
他们毫不关心。他们疲惫不堪,
几乎是累垮了,几几乎就要消失了。
不安份的人,渔夫和声名狼藉的女人,不可思议,绝对悲伤。
他们渴望消失。但是,这里头确实有些难度。

《市中隐者/气息尚在》重新审视柯思仁1996年的剧作《市中隐者》里不安份的人在不安份的世界里徒劳的渴望。

SCENES: The Performances
Invisibility/Breathing
by Cake Theatrical Productions (Singapore)

The man is restless. One minute he is in a barren wasteland, the next he is in a public toilet in the city, the next he’s sitting on a rock with a book, the next he’s dragging body bags across endless dust. The man is restless. He wants to disappear. There is also a fisherman and a woman of great disrepute. They live and interact with the man. They know not why he’s come nor where he’s going. They don’t care. They are tired and weary. Stretched thin, almost disappearing. The man, the fisherman and the woman of great disrepute, they are altogether strange, altogether sad. Hopefully they’ll disappear. But it’s never so easy.

Invisibility/Breathing is a theatrical response to Quah Sy Ren's Invisibility (1996), examining the hope and futility of restless people in a restless world.

Directed by Natalie Hennedige.
