2024廳院選 無垢舞蹈劇場《醮》

Legend Lin Dance Theatre: Miroirs de Vie

基本資料

序言

此醮已非彼醮

浪來了，潮水無聲無息，靜悄悄地淹蓋了一切。

踏浪而來的女孩，那淨白的小腳，輕輕的觸摸水面，寧靜清柔。

風輕輕的吹開了薄紗，薄紗裡稚嫩的面孔，呼喚著大海，風在吟唱浪在起舞。

祖靈的呼喚，一次又一次，永不停歇。

歷經十二個月訓練整排，其中過程歷歷在目，沒想到也只剩下三個月可以努力了。回頭再看這三十年，是艱苦的成長，卻有著甜蜜的回憶。

以無垢的製作而言，今年呈現最艱難的《醮》，雖然是舞團第一齣舞作，但冥冥之中有意想不到的安排。

日前李豐楙院士來家裡茶敘，他表示：大疫過後，無垢作「醮」，為眾生祈福。

原來《醮》是帶著使命的。表演藝術對無垢而言是純然的手工，真的是用人力和時間堆積出來的。

林老師已是從心所欲的年紀，今年的工作，在體力的負擔上非常辛苦，可是看到孩子們如此真誠的投入，她表示：再辛苦也是值得的。

無垢歷經了三十年，是各方大慈、大德的成全。

支持無垢的觀眾是我們最感激的動力，林老師時常表達她不擅言語，所以將內心世界的所有，呈現在舞臺上。

無垢感謝大家的支持，今年在國家戲劇院的舞臺上，您會看到我們努力的成果。

孩子們長大了，展現更成熟的身影。

無垢誠懇的作「醮」，在大疫之後為萬物眾生祈福，所以今天的《醮》已非當年的《醮》了。

《醮》

《醮》是一場尋根之旅，由藝術總監林麗珍透過自身文化的反思，欲重新尋回臺灣土地的傳統情感，更在歷經洗鍊淨化後，深刻體認沒有族群、文化之分，人類與天地自然之間共同擁有的根源，是創作者畢生所尋覓的根本，透過《醮》，傳達出一種生命的態度，是禮敬天地的虔誠心以及慈悲為懷的柔軟心。

沉重的鼓聲，開啟了陰陽兩界的大門；信仰的象徵——媽祖，引領幽魂渡海，緩緩進入儀式；淨身代表著儀式的初始；纏綿卻含蓄內斂的情感，在相互牽引的二人真情流露；潛藏的仇恨倏地爆發，如野獸般掠奪攻擊；柔軟的水撫慰了靈魂，悲情化為包容，生命在大地之河裡傳承與輪迴；孤燈燃亮，冥紙散飛，儀式在心經的迴盪聲裡終了。

在肢體語彙的呈現上，《醮》突破既定的舞蹈形式，回歸最原始、最純淨的「身體原型」，林麗珍強調透過「定、靜、鬆、沉、緩、勁」的過程，如蝸行般寸寸推進筋肉及骨節，發現身體內部宇宙集千古的記憶與情感，從心境的超脫而自然產生的動態，具有內歛而深沉的凝聚力，而最令人動容的，絕非只是動作，而是演出者本身在每一個瞬間，完全奉獻給觀者的無限能量。

《醮》的整體結構，類似電影的手法，在特殊加深的舞臺上，創造出時空相疊的跳接以及深遠空靈的氛圍；角色位置多變的切割，借用攝影鏡頭運動的概念，強化了作品編排上的能量堆積與爆發；抽象而意義多變的布幔、芒花，成為舞作的另一主角，芒花起，顫動了人世的野性，布幔落，撫慰了大地所有的生命，是回憶的一隅，亦是想像的一方；於音樂，同樣地回歸到本質，從南管、人聲吟唱，僧波鑼、大鼓、銅磬等中國傳統打擊樂器，到電子環境音樂，擷取的素材豐富而廣泛，以在當下能引起與身體內在及外在情境的共鳴，引導觀者進入更深層的互動與回應。

 

Foreword

This

Miroirs

is Not That

Miroirs



A light breeze lifts her gossamer veil, revealing a delicate visage of youth that beckons to the sea. The waves dance to the songs of the wind.

With each arriving wave, the rising tide silently claims the shore. The alabaster feet of a maiden, poised upon the crest of waves, brush the water's surface with ethereal grace. A playful zephyr unfurls her gossamer veil to reveal a delicate visage of youth that whispers to the sea. The waves dance to the song of the wind.

The call of ancestral spirits echoes through time.

Miroirs de Vie

Miroirs de Vie

is a journey in search of roots. Reflecting upon her cultural heritage, Artistic Director/Choreographer Lin Lee-chen seeks to reconnect with the emotive landscape grounded in Taiwanese tradition. Through a process of purification, she arrives at a profound understanding: beyond our differences of ethnicity and culture lies a universal essence shared by humanity and the natural world – a quest that has become her lifelong pursuit.

Miroirs de Vie

articulates a life philosophy deeply entrenched in reverence for the cosmos and in a heart that brims with compassion.

The performance opens with the deep, reverberating pulses of drums, symbolically evoking a portal between the realms of the mortal and the sacred. The goddess Matzu, representing faith, shepherds souls across the sea and into the sanctity of the ritual. An act of physical cleansing marks the initiation of this sacred rite. Emotions, tender yet unspoken, unfold between the participants until a latent discord erupts, culminating in a visceral confrontation. The soothing caresses of water transform grief into acceptance, as life and legacy flow through the veins of the earth. A solitary lamp flickers while joss papers float in the breeze. The ritual concludes with the resonant echoes of the Heart Sutra.

Miroirs de Vie

challenges conventional dance forms, and returns to a primal and pristine "body archetype." Lin Lee-chen advocates a process of "Stable, serene, relaxed, grounded, slow, strong" in guiding muscles and joints toward a deliberate, snail-paced exploration that reveals the internal cosmos of the body -- a repository of millennia-old memories and emotions. The dynamics that emerge from a transcendent conception manifest a restrained yet profound cohesion. Beyond mere movement, the unwavering conviction of the performers in each instant radiates an inexhaustible vitality that engages the audience.

Employing a technique reminiscent of cinematic jump cuts, the staging of

Miroirs de Vie

creates an overlapping temporospatial dimension that conjures an ethereal and profound ambiance on a stage that has been adapted for additional depth. Drawing inspiration from cinematic camera movements, the arrangement of performers dynamically shifts to amplify cumulative energy that builds toward an explosive release in the choreography. Abstract and multifaced, curtains and silvergrass become protagonists within this dance narrative. The burgeoning silvergrass channels the untamed spirit of the mortal realm, while the cascading curtains comforts all life on earth. This tableau is suspended in memory and in fragments of the imagination.

Musically, the piece returns to essence: from Nanguan music and vocal chants, to sonorous gongs, large drums, bronze chimes, and traditional Chinese percussion instruments, and extending to electronic ambient soundscapes. By drawing from rich and diverse elements, the work evokes resonance between the internal body and the external world, drawing the audience into a deeper communion and response.
