【Taiwan Dance Platform】Together Alone & Medium

基本資料

《孤單在一起》 由前以色列巴希瓦舞團 (Batsheva Dance Company) 舞者李貞葳與匈牙利／比利時獨立藝術家法庫亞．佐坦 (Vakulya Zoltán) 共同創作。當肢體表現充滿情緒感染力的李貞葳，遇上理性思考舞蹈的運用和表達的法庫亞．佐坦，截然不同的兩人嘗試融合與碰撞，剝除了所有外在的遮掩和裝飾，兩人在舞作中回歸原始的個體，一對一的裸裎相見。 在這個私密的時空裡，彼此溝通，相互學習在妥協與合作中不忘自我的前進，兩個身體、兩個靈魂在共舞之中獨舞，用在一起的力量，直面各自的孤單。 《方寸之間Medium》 印尼編舞家里安多(Rianto)，精於來自中爪哇跨性別的傳統舞蹈凌雅(Lengger)及其他爪哇舞蹈流派。與新加坡編舞者徐家輝(Choy Ka Fai)合作的《軟機器》(Soft Machine) 大受迴響後，里安多發展個人最新創作的長篇自傳式舞劇《方寸之間》(Medium)，借喻凌雅(Lengger)字義來源’elinga ngger’，意即「需要被記得和注意到的建議」，不僅為了保存此舞蹈和延續傳統而努力，亦著眼於超越教條和二元對立之性別、傳統、宗教、社會及政治團體之間的關係進行一系列的深度研究和驗證。

《Together Alone》 Together Alone is a solo in dancing together, which counter the individual loneliness with the power of being together. Deprived of all external concealments and decorations, the two of them return to the primitive in dance and face each other with the most naked selves. In this intimate space and time, they communicate with each other and learn to move forward through compromises and cooperation. Through constant giving and receiving, they explore the invisible border between the seemingly close bodies. By consistently linking up and then separating, they find harmony in conflicts and again trigger conflicts in harmony. Through unceasingly merging, transferring, destruction, and then reconstruction… eventually, they squarely face their respective loneliness, together. The procedure of the choreography is another type of “together alone.” Two individuals with completely different training backgrounds and physical styles start from exploring the original question: “Why do we dance?” and proceed to physical movements arising from the need for each other. From the purest motive, they embark on a journey to exchange energies through their interactions and transform the energies into organic physical expressions, from which diversities derive. As time goes by, the production begins to take shape and continues to reshape itself, accumulating refined alternations along the way. In the journey, they find the tracks for them to walk together, but meanwhile identify with the more independent selves. 《Medium》 Rianto is a specialist in the Central Javanese form of Lengger, a cross- gender dance form from Banyumas. In Medium, Rianto recalls the term Lengger as derived from elinga ngger, which means the “advice to be aware, to remember”. After the success of Soft Machine, Rianto returns to his hometown and relationship with the Lengger masters. He strives not only for the survival of this form, but especially for the space it holds beyond binary opposites—a space between manhood and womanhood, between customs and religious principles, between conscious control and trance. Medium is Rianto’s universal call for freedom, for eschewing dogma and embracing the contradiction, mysteries, and layered diversity that is at the heart of Javanese tradition. A series of studies into the relationship among his religious body, social body, political body, and traditional body. Rianto’s virtuosic movement language is combined with a powerful live vocal and percussion score by Cahwati, also from Banyumas. Together they unfold the relationship between movement and sound that lies at the core of the Lengger tradition.
