《都市梦游者的沉默》

导演、编剧⊙吴绍熙

演员⊙吴绍熙、蔡运华

后台技术总监⊙郭佩欣

都市，既是追梦之地，亦是梦灭之处，在追梦与梦灭之间，人多成“梦游者”，通常谨守着“沉默”的法则。这彷似众声喧哗的大都会，靠沉默的大多数来运转，以各式各样的梦游者为食粮。

在都市中，有着许多的梦，有着许多的沉默。

因为追梦而保持沉默，因为梦灭而归于沉默，因为知道了梦的代价而沉默，因为再没有梦要追而沉默，因为不知有梦可追而沉默，因为看破梦乃虚幻而沉默，因为感悟人生如梦而沉默，因为看到人生在世有更多比梦更重要的东西要关注而沉默……究竟都市中还有多少种沉默，沉默的代价又是什么？

这个演出是一个“肢体剧场”(Physical Theatre)的作品，以“诗”的方式来建构，而非传统的话剧或故事性的戏剧，通过肢体动作、面具、插画和声音等媒介，该剧既要探索围绕“都市梦游者”和“梦游者的都市”的种种现象，也要叩问这些现象背后更具普遍性的主题。

The Silence of Dreaming City Sleepwalkers

Dreams are pursued. Dreams are vaporize. All happen in this place called “city”. Between the possibility and impossibility of dreams, the majority turns into “sleepwalkers”, with “silence” as their golden rule. It is a city wearing a dress of manifold voices, having the silent majority as its cells and the sleepwalkers as its fuel.

In this city, how many dreams do we have and how many silences do we have?

Silence for pursuing dream, silence of losing dream, silence after realizing the cost of dream, silence of having no dream to chase, silence of forgetting dream, silence when there is no difference between dream and illusion, silence when life shows itself to be bubbles of dream, silence when life is occupied by concerns with more weight than dream…Please tell me how many kinds of silences are still out of our horizon…Please tell me the cost of silence…

This is a work of physical theatre that turns images into poetry, rather than a traditional drama with single narrative: We use corporeal movements, masks, illustrations and sounds as media to explore the “dreaming sleepwalkers in the city” as well as “the city of dreaming sleepwalkers”, and to disclose those questions with even more universality behind all these phenomena.
