Tarkovsky's Last Days of Europe

【演出介紹】

David Glass大師班成果呈現 <Tarkovsky's Last Days of Europe>

滾動傀儡另類劇場非常榮幸邀得當代世界知名的戲劇大師大衛.格拉斯David Glass蒞臨澳門，經過三階段的大師班，教導學員以身體作為表演媒界的訓練方法，及如何以即興創作發展出具轉化潛力的戲劇素材。

「城市的對話」作為大師班的基調，吸納了居於澳門/台北/上海/巴黎等地不同背景的表演者來澳碰撞交流，進行三個階段共八週的學習及群體編作。本次呈現圍繞俄國電影導演安德烈.塔可夫斯基（Andrei Tarkovsky）的作品 ，探索在劇場如何呈現電影中的人文元素和視覺美學。

安德烈.塔可夫斯基無疑是世上最重要的電影導演之一，然而他電影中對人類境況謎樣的視覺冥想仍讓世界各地的觀眾既著迷和不解。我們從他的四個後期作品：《鏡子》、《鄉愁》、《潛行者》、《犧牲》汲取靈感，試圖應用他的「純粹電影」美學哲學來創造「純粹劇場」，即跳脫情節與常規角色，更像一場夢。工作坊的過程中，我們透過集體即興和討論，圍繞著塔可夫斯基電影中的主題，如鄉愁、回憶、童年、自然、愛恨和死亡，去創造一個編作的視覺劇場作品。

【About the show】

Showcase of master class by David Glass - <Tarkovsky's Last Days of Europe>

Rolling Puppet Alternative Theatre are very honor to invite the world well-known theatre master/pedagogue Mr. David Glass and his physical and object theatre and devising workshop in Macao. David shared his body-training and aesthetics system for the performers and other theatre makers, and more importantly the technique of developing Theatre Moments in improvisation into Theatre Potentials.

The process start with the idea of "Dialogue of the cities", in which we have participants from Macao, Taiwan, China and France learning and sharing together. We use the films of Andrei Tarkovsky, famous Russian Film director, to explore how to display the humanity and visual aesthetics in theatre.

Tarkovsky is undoubtedly one of the most important Film Directors to have lived. And yet his films remain beautiful enigmas causing audiences world wide to be both mesmerised and frustrated by his enigmatic visual meditations on the human condition. Drawing inspiration from four of his later films, The Mirror, Nostalgia, The Stalker and The Sacrifice, and attempting to apply his aesthetic philosophy of ‘pure cinema’ to create ‘pure theatre’ unfettered to plot or conventional characters. More like a dream play. With this and through group improvisations and discussion we provoked ourselves to create a devised visual theatre piece that plays with Tarkovsky's themes of nostalgia, memory, childhood, nature, love and death.
