《庫維爾1975:青春浪潮》是當代劇場大師羅伯.勒帕吉繼《887》後,一部野心勃勃又私密無比的半自傳式作品。故事發生在1975年的加拿大,如今不復存在的庫維爾。剛滿17歲的西蒙,在家裡的地下室有自己的房間。他的生活裡有一位與無賴叔叔廝混的寡婦母親、被強迫紋上的胸膛刺青、向他求愛未果的女性朋友和一位未受良好教育但四肢發達的男性友人。在《庫維爾1975:青春浪潮》這幅青春浮世繪裡,呼之欲出的情慾覺醒、對旁人眼光的在意以及對外表的迷戀等,與接踵而來的社會動盪,在西蒙的生命中引發關鍵性的迴響。
台上的角色將由受日本文樂(人形淨琉璃)啟發的人偶飾演。勒帕吉曾表示自己的青春期並不燦爛,因此他想以更成熟的眼光去看待這個充滿矛盾的人生階段。他認為將青春期的記憶與情感注入無生命的戲偶,較能誠實訴說並昇華這個故事。除此之外,本劇利用升降式雙層平台,讓場景在西蒙的地下室於外在世界(樓上、城鎮、學校、街道、游泳池等)間流暢切換。這是一場青春期的磨難與探詢,結合操偶、舞台機關、燈光投影,勒帕吉營造了一場創意無限、目眩神迷的視覺奇觀。
Courville is an ambitious and intimate semi-autobiographical work by the wizard of modern theatre direction, Robert LEPAGE, following his one-man show 887. The story takes place in Canada, 1975, in the now non-existent Courville. Simon, just 17 years old, has his own room in the basement of a bungalow. In his circle are a widowed mother mixed up with a shifty uncle, an involuntary and painfully permanent tattoo on his chest, a female friend who woos him without much success, and a poorly educated athletic male friend. In this ukiyo-e of youth, Simon's life is marked by the torments of sexual awakening, the gaze of others, and obsession with appearance, as well as the social unrest that ensues.
The characters on stage are played by puppets inspired by the Japanese bunraku. LEPAGE described his adolescence as somewhat gloomy, so he wanted to look at this conflicting stage of life with a more mature perspective. He believes injecting adolescent memories and emotions into the inanimate puppets will lead to sublimated and honest storytelling. In addition to being a formal experiment, Courville also displays an abundance of technological wizardry. The play utilizes a double-layered platform that allows the scenes to switch smoothly between Simon's basement and the outside world (ground floor, township, school, street, swimming pool, etc.) An adolescent ordeal and inquiry, combined with puppets, stage machinery, lighting, and projections, Courville is an inventive and dazzling visual spectacle.
