基本資料

《諾曼》由米歇爾‧樂密和維多‧皮倫共同執導，融合表演藝術及電影，運用獨特的虛擬實境，向前衛動畫大師諾曼‧麥克賴倫的成就致敬。在這齣獨角戲中，舞者暨編舞家彼得‧托茲瑪穿梭於麥克賴倫的映畫作品間，帶領觀眾一探麥克賴倫的嬉遊異想，徜徉於其抽像、律動及人本主義的創作特色中。

不僅回顧大師作品，托茲瑪對於舞蹈和律動的熱情，更洋溢於《諾曼》的想像世界裡。為更了解這位創作天才的靈感來源，托茲瑪前往麥克賴倫畢生工作的加拿大國家電影局辦公室，更於舞台上與影片中人物共舞、交流及互動。籍由托茲瑪的探索，讓觀眾知悉麥克賴倫的人生及工作。

此劇結合劇場表演及記錄影片，托茲瑪訪談影片中麥克賴倫的舊識，栩栩如生的投影人物指引他的探索之旅，也分享他們對麥克賴倫的所知所感。劇中收錄約三十部麥克賴倫的作品為佐證，其中有些從未公開發行，使托茲瑪得以藉著語言或舞蹈分享心得。麥克賴倫曾說，如果不是踏入電影世界，他應該已成為編舞家。此劇正是運用燈光、影像及肢體的律動，來展現其創作世界。

從《閃爍忽現》 ( 1955 ) 到《雙人舞》 ( 1968 ) 從《無憂無慮》 ( 1949 ) 到《鄰居》 ( 1952 ) ，對熟知麥克賴倫、初次接觸他的作品者而言，都將是獨具風格及想像力的視覺饗宴。《諾曼》可謂是表演藝術界的真正變革，除了慶讚這位偉大藝術家及其成就，並將跨越時空的美感、極簡力量與回憶的重要性，傳遞給下一代。

 

NORMAN presents a singular integration of film into the realm of the performing arts. Created as a tribute to Norman McLaren, the pioneer filmmaker, this production takes us on a joumey of initiation into McLaren’s playful animated landscapes in the company of dancer/ chorographer Peter Trosztmer. Using their unique virtual reality visual language, Michel Lemieux and Victor Pilon immerse us in the movement, abstraction. and humanism that are characteristic of the filmmaker’s oeuvre. More than a mere retrospective, NORMAN give us the opportunity to share Peter’s passion for the dance and movement that run through the imaginary worlds of the films. Peter goes to the offices of the National Film Board of Canada, where McLaren worked for most of his life, in order to get a better understanding of the motivation that drove this creative genius. He will literally enter the films to dance, exchange, and interact with them. Peter's discoveries help us learn about the main themes of Norman McLaren’s life and work. This production bridges the gap between performance and documentary filmmaking. Peter screens interviews made with people who knew McLaren and his work; these witnesses materialize out of thin air and appear onstage to guide Peter in his exploration, sharing their knowledge and feelings about the filmmaker. A selection of about thirty works from McLaren’s corpus, some of them never released. underline the testimonies and allow Peter to communicate what he’s learned, sometimes verbally, sometimes simply through the dance that links him to the films. McLaren once said that if he hadn’t been a filmmaker, he would have been a choreographer; this show uses movement (of light, of images, of the body) as a way to access his creative world. From B1inkity B1ank (Palme d’Or in 1955) to Pas de deux (1968), from Begone Dull Care (1949) to Neighbours (Academy Award in 1952), this production will delight experts and neophytes alike. A true revolution in the world of the performing arts, NORMAN is the celebration of a major artist and his work, as well as the occasion to expose a whole new generation to the timelessness of beauty, the effectiveness of simplicity, and the importance of memory.
