彩虹的盡頭，世界的彼岸，是什麼樣的世界？ 以臺灣傳統儀式「牽亡歌」中人物身體的律動、歌者唱彈的字句、或是牽亡的音樂旋律做探索依據，撿拾牽亡歌的動作、唱調、精神，透過舞蹈的傳承與轉化，用這個世代的語言、當代的身體，挖掘傳統律動當中所乘載的文化內涵。牽亡歌是臺灣傳統喪禮時會到喪家，一種屬於表演也屬於儀式的工作團隊，在牽亡的過程中唱誦的內容，主要是敘述引渡亡魂走過36關72煞、入十殿受審，並在牽亡的前段與後段，都有請神與送神的儀式過程。而在《彩虹的盡頭》中，想要面對、討論的則是在這樣的傳統文化儀式、世界及宇宙觀當中，我們究竟想送走的是什麼？如果說「牽亡歌陣」所渡的，是牽引亡魂到下一個「存在」的階段；那麼，《彩虹的盡頭》則是要透過牽亡歌的儀式精神送走過度西化的身體，迎接屬於我們自己的，在地的文化身體。
The End of the Rainbow is an original work elaborated from the ritual of khan-bông kua-tīn (burial songs). The work investigates the dying tradition of Taiwanese funeral ritual and transforms it into an internalized spirit as well as the “body” unique to one’s native culture. As the name suggests, khan-bông kua-tīn (burial songs) are often heard in traditional Taiwanese funerals where priests go inside the house of the deceased to guide the soul of the dead. The lyrics mostly describe how the soul is led through the 36 guan and 72 sha (both mean danger and crisis, while they can also be understood as “challenge,” “pass,” or “obstacle”) to the Ten Courts of Hell for the final trial. Burial songs always begin with inviting the deity to come and end in sending the deity back to heaven, and the ultimate purpose of chanting the songs is to guide the soul to the Western Paradise. Our field studies of burial songs allow us to further examine what we intend to confront in The End of the Rainbow. In this era, what is the exact thing we want to guide/bring from one world to another? In the Taiwanese tradition, the purpose of khan-bông kua-tīn (burial songs) is to transcend the souls of the dead and to guide them to the next state of “existence.” Thus, The End of the Rainbow is the farewell to the overly Westernized body, so as to welcome a body of our own, a body embodying our native culture.
