基本資料

戰爭就像人類一般，既單純又複雜！戰爭的本質因著不同年代武器之使用以及發生地的文化不同 而不斷改變。戰爭促使新技術、新策略及新觀點之發展。 《迷幻戰境》藉 由「士兵」、「戰士」、「間諜」三個角色，以及貫穿三段故事謎樣黃衣女子來 闡述戰爭之本質。 「士兵」從戰場被遣送回鄉。他不僅患了創傷後壓力癥候群（PTSD），而且再也無法融入一般社 會生活。他於是重返戰場，並亡於一場爆炸中。有關他過往的豐功偉業在其記憶中昇起，他的癥狀與 宿命遺留至今日。 「戰士」在戰場被殺。這出乎意料的死亡，讓他的靈魂無法順利地到達該去的世界。他於是成了 到處飄蕩的孤魂野鬼，必須要訴說他的過往方能獲得安息。在不同的文化背景裡，幾乎都有類似的傳 說。 「間諜」在戰爭中被俘。為求獲釋，她必須重習武藝，增強功力。爾後，她成了一名武功超強的 高手，並成功逃脫。她是通俗文化及奇幻類型的人物。 「黃衣女子」貫穿以上這三段故事，她是開啟戰爭的遊戲操控者，但她同時也是一個即使在戰爭 中也必須持續日常生活的人。她在劇中還是平民歌隊的一員，這組歌隊在劇中增強擴大了從不止息的 戰爭故事。 劇中運用光影變化，彩色與黑白投影，以及放大倍數的動漫畫作深刻描述故事之發展。 《迷幻戰境》靈感源自日本文化中特有的一面，受其充滿詩意，通俗文化，縝密細節以及殘酷 暴力之影響。歌詞由日本能劇大師創作，古老的能劇唱腔與當代電音在本劇中相逢，醞醸出迥異的奇 特氛圍。《迷幻戰境》裡有多首結合不同音樂形式的嶄新創作，以人聲搭配環場電音音樂，開創音樂 新風格。劇中並以創新的流行音樂代表三個角色，並搭以人聲演唱及電子音樂，混合一體。《迷幻戰 境》揉合不同元素，鎔鑄強烈的新美學觀感。

War is as simple and as complicated as man itself. The nature of war is ever-changing, adapting to the era's usable weapons and to the culture within which it takes place. War develops new technology, new strategies, new opinions. War Sum Up tells of war through three main characters: The Soldier is sent home from war. He suffers from PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) and he no longer feels at home in civilian society. He returns to the war and dies in an explosion. A monument is raised in his memory. His symptoms and fate exist today. The Warrior is killed in battle. His unnatural death prevents his soul from a natural transition to the world on the other side. He becomes a spectre, a ghost, who must tell his story in order to find peace. An old superstition which still exists in many cultures. The Spy is captured in the war. In order to be freed she must relearn her abilities in the martial arts and transform herself. She is transformed into a super-woman and escapes. She is a part of the fantasy-genre and popular culture. All three stories are framed by the woman in yellow. She is the Gamemaster who begins the war. But she is also the person who perpetually continues working because everyday life must go on as a banality of evil even though there is a war. She is part of the of the Civilians' choir that intensify and enlarge the never-ending story of war. Light and darkness, colours and patterns in black and white together with manga drawings in XL format are intense visual narrators. War Sum Up is inspired by the Japanese powerful expressions of poetry, pop, precision and brutality. The libretto is created with texts from Noh-theatre, written by Japanese masters. The old world meets with the new, when the deep tone of poetry unfold in the electronic musical universe. Several musical expressions and styles are combined. New composed classical music creates a spheric, electronic sound together with the sung voices. Newly written pop-music describes the three characters with a mix of chamber pop and electronica,where man and machine melt together. It all blends into a fusion of painfully beauty.
