【演出簡介】

在一座小島上，住著一位孤獨的老人，整日躲在家，他的家像是霍爾的移動城堡一般收藏著各式各樣的器具物品，沒有人曉得他過去的日子是什麼樣子，甚至已經很久沒有人看到過他的身影。

這天，門鈴響了，來了一位意外的訪客——阿呆，打破老人百無聊賴的生活。

「啊！不行！那個東西不行玩啊！那是我的寶貝啊！」

阿呆掀開了老人藏在屋中的秘密，想起曾經有過翱翔天際的夢，但那個夢後來怎麼了？我為什麼沒有繼續飛行了呢？

《你欲泅去佗位？》是斜槓青年創作體於2020年創作的無語言系列作品，故事發想於一則真實的偷飛機事件——2018 年美國西雅圖塔科馬機場，航空公司地勤理查（Richard）偷走一架空客機，並在起飛九十分鐘後墜毀。理查是整起空難中的唯一罹難者，塔台人員透過無線電與理查對話，試圖說服他找尋迫降之處。透過無線電的對話知曉他只是想去看看那隻以身體背負著死去孩子屍體的鯨魚媽媽，並透露：自己是一位「壞掉的人」，很早很早以前螺絲就鬆開了，直到現在才發現⋯⋯。

演出中運用偶戲、光影，以及默劇肢體來述說一個故事，帶領3歲~12歲的小小觀眾在沒有文字語言的情境，透過操偶師、執頭偶－阿呆與阿公一同經歷了充滿狂風暴雨的災難、深不見底的海裡、穿越厚厚雲層前往找尋傳說中的那隻鯨魚的旅途中。

【Production Synopsis】

On a small island, there lived a lonely old man who spent his days hiding in his home. His house was like Howl's Moving Castle, filled with all sorts of tools and items. No one knew what his past life was like, and it had been a long time since anyone had seen him.

One day, the doorbell rang, and an unexpected visitor arrived—Ah-Dai, who disrupted the old man's dull and monotonous life.
"Ah! No! You can't play with that! It's my treasure!"
Ah-Dai uncovered a secret the old man had hidden in his home, and the old man began to recall a dream he once had of soaring through the skies. But what happened to that dream? Why did I stop flying?

Ｗhale, Where are You Going?  is a non-verbal series created by S. Production collective in 2020. The story was inspired by a real-life incident involving the theft of an airplane—In 2018, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, ground crew member Richard stole an Airbus plane and crashed it ninety minutes after takeoff. Richard was the only fatality in the crash, and air traffic controllers attempted to communicate with him via radio, trying to convince him to find a place to make an emergency landing. Through the radio conversation, it was revealed that he simply wanted to see the mother whale carrying the body of her dead child, and he confessed that he was a "broken person," someone whose screws had come loose long ago, only realizing it now...

In the performance, puppetry, light and shadow, and silent physical theater are used to tell a story, leading young audiences aged 3 to 12 through a world without words or language. Together with the puppeteers, the main puppets—Ah-Dai and the Old Man—experience a journey full of disasters in raging storms, diving into the depths of the sea, and traveling through thick clouds to search for the legendary whale.
