2024TIFA 坂本龍一《鏡：KAGAMI》

Ryuichi Sakamoto & Tin Drum: KAGAMI

基本資料

藝術千秋，人生朝露。

最深刻的悼念，凝聚於光影與音符之間。

「在人類有限的生命裡，如何延展音樂的壽命？」這是日本新音樂教父坂本龍一，於罹癌後不斷思索的。然而隨著身體日漸衰弱，他在過世前鮮少進行現場演出。而在坂本龍一逝世一周年，這份遺願終於透過混合實境技術得以實現。

藝術千秋，人生朝露。最深刻的悼念，凝聚於光影與音符之間。由坂本龍一、Tin Drum合作開發的《鏡：KAGAMI》，以展覽與MR技術，搭配知名設計師緒方慎一郎為大師量身打造的氣味，帶你走入坂本龍一最後的獨奏會現場。聽作曲家演奏與生命緊密連結的十首經典曲目，近距離觀察他纖細的觸鍵與表情，並沉浸於隨之浮現的虛擬藝術，絕對是您與大師共享永恆生命的珍貴體驗！

坂本龍一是音樂界的傳奇人物，身兼作曲家、鋼琴家、歌手、製作人、藝術家等多重身分，亦是熱心於環境保育與反核運動的倡議人士。

自上個世紀七零年代出道後，坂本龍一涉足了多個音樂領域，包括電子音樂、流行樂、古典音樂和電影音樂。他於1978年加入Yellow Magic Orchestra樂團（YMO），該樂團被視為日本電子音樂和合成器的先驅之一，深刻影響了日本流行文化。後續無論是坂本龍一的個人演出、電影配樂創作，都不斷挑戰多樣風格與極限，並多次獲得奧斯卡獎及葛萊美獎肯定。他的作品深得不同世代樂迷的共鳴。其中，他為《俘虜》、《末代皇帝》、《神鬼獵人》等電影所創作的配樂，更為畫面增色。此外，坂本龍一也致力於推動環保與反核議題；在日本311大地震後，他成為地震、海嘯和福島核災受害者的堅定聲音支持者。

坂本龍一於2023年3月辭世，享年71歲。

Tin Drum是引領全球的混合實境（MR）製作公司，2016年由托德．埃克特（Todd Eckert）成立後，於2019年推出全球首件大型MR作品，邀請藝術家Marina Abramović創作《生命》（The Life），於英國倫敦蛇形藝廊呈現。2021年推出《梅杜莎》（Medusa），與知名建築師藤本壯介及倫敦設計節合作，在英國V&A博物館展出時，萬張門票搶購一空。

在《鏡：KAGAMI》的體驗中，將使用穿戴式裝置Magic Leap 2。雖然該產品於2022下半年才上市，但Tin Drum早已使用多時，並開發出獨特的超擬真系統，讓 250 部裝置的空間聲響可同步，這項技術也是舉世首見。Magic Leap 2 可提升景深效果，同時能以視覺繪測展演空間，對於《鏡：KAGAMI》的體驗相當有幫助。

TIFA, Multiverses in Theater







The concept of time in theater is inherently non-linear. Artists deftly navigate between the simultaneously existing and entangled past, present, and future. Often, they extract materials from memories or look back at the present from the perspective of the future. As spectators, we marvel at the fluidity of time and exclaim: "The present is simultaneously the past and the future!"







For the 2024 TIFA, we invite audiences to traverse the temporal multiverses. We aim to revisit those unforgettable, exhilarating moments. Artists draw from their robust and radiant traditions to create works in a variety of formats that resonate with future. They rediscover innovative power within the classics or explore contemporary social interaction through creativity. We can even hop on a time machine created through technology to return to the site of an event, to engage in dialogue through the work.







Join us in this journey! Let's accompany the boundary-defying artists as we navigate between the multiverses in theater. "The past can be revisited, and the future is within reach." This journey transcends the realm of physics; it is our present moment.

Text in the performance







There is, in reality, a virtual me.







This virtual me will not age, and will continue to play the piano for years, decades, centuries.







Will there be humans then?







Will the squids that will conquer the earth after humanity listen to me?







What will pianos be to them?







What about music?







Will there be empathy there?







Empathy that spans hundreds of thousands of years.







Ah, but the batteries won't last that long.







--Ryuichi Sakamoto, 2023







Fishing for the sound.







#4 Energy Flow







The next one I played is called Energy Flow, and I still don't understand why this piece was No.1 hit in 1999 and the Japanese chart.







#10 BB







So, the next piece will be the last one is called BB, means Bernardo Bertolucci. I wrote this piece literally 5 minutes after I heard the news of him passing away.
