昨天他们的影子 翻山越岭

在今天显影

我 zài「异体字」。明天

The past stretches  Into the present

We’re STILL here

迁移是地球上古老的命题。人类历史的构成,满布许多移动的路径,史页上各种理由的出发与抵达、大小规模形态的人口移动,是血泪、梦想与绝望编织的地图,也是更复杂纠葛,暗夜与晴亮同在的生存史。

睽违六年,向来深耕现代舞创作与推广的雪隆广青舞团,以年度舞蹈剧场作品zài「异体字」,探照人类最古老的命题——存在与迁移。zài「异体字」照看移动的集体在不同土地的存活样态,叙述人从故土跋涉到新地,安身立命、寻索身份定位的生命历史,以及移动者从集体到个体、历经样态变异後的选择。昨天、今天、明天,这些移动和生存在历史中循环复返,没有完结的答案,zài「异体字」以舞蹈剜出古老议题的内核,映照当下仍是复杂多重的存在表述。

作品名称zài「异体字」是「在」的异体字。「在」字从土,从字形看来, 就如舞者立於土上,活在当下。这个此时当下的身体,也是昨天与明天的身体,是个人生命史与多重时代的叠汇总和。过往时代的异体字,大多不为现代人熟悉或知悉,但它依然是文字史中不可忽视的身影,一如故人故土的影响,会在现代人身上显影。

The Kwang Tung Dance Company has actively promoted the practice and creation of contemporary dance works over decades. Six years after staging a multi-disciplinary dance theatre performance, they returning with “STILL”, in conjunction with the Kwang Tung Association's 85th anniversary celebration.

Gathering the top creative team and dancers in Malaysia, this brand new dance theatre production —— “STILL” shines a light on the survival strategies of communities who migrate to a foreign land — their pathways of moving from homeland to new home, settling down, the search for identity. Honing in on the realities of the individual migrant, it explores the choices made once the dust has settled.

Human migration is an ongoing process on Earth. Our history has been full of movement, though the reasons for uprooting and the scale from individual to mass migrations vary widely. The pathways of migration outline a map of blood and tears, dreams and despair. It is the history of life as we know it, where darkness and light co-exist.

Yesterday, today, tomorrow – migration and survival are circular themes in history, there is no ending nor final answer. With dance as a medium, “STILL” drills down to the core of these ageless themes, while reflecting the complexities of modern day existence.
