首演剧目:《慢的艺术》(The Darkroom Printer)
剧情简介
洗一张照片很慢,需要很长时间,而读懂一个人的时间,更长。
这是一出独白剧,讲述的是一个照相馆的洗印师,在暗室中最后一天洗照片时的内心生活。主人公的父亲是一个著名的洗印师,从小生活在父亲的阴影下,他变得胆小、孤僻、神经质、爱幻想,为了逃避父母疏远的关系,加上在父亲的同事吴老头的引导之下,他也选择了做一名永远躲在暗室里,面对黑暗、虚无和孤独的洗印师。在二十余年与照片朝夕相伴的日子里,他对洗印这个工作,显影、定影、水洗、干燥……对照片和照片上的人,都产生了爱恨交加的感情。在数码即将替代胶卷、洗印这项工作不复存在的时代交叉口,他在他的暗室里,和他的事业、生命、生活、存在,做了一次深刻、复杂,却又惊心动魄的告白。
照片将瞬间凝固成永远,是人类用存在对对抗时间的最好的方式。
Printing a photograph is a slow process, requiring a long time. But understanding a person takes an even longer time.
This is a one-character play exposing the inner thoughts of a darkroom printer in his last workday in the darkroom of a photographic studio. Having grown in the shadow of his father who himself was a famous darkroom printer, the character became timid, withdrawn, nervous and was prone to fantasies. To escape from the estranged relationship with his parents, and as guided by Old Man Wu (his father’s colleague), he chose to become a darkroom printer, always hiding in a darkroom, facing darkness, emptiness and loneliness. After living with photographs day and night for more than 20 years, he had developed a love-hate relationship not only with his work -- developing, fixing, rinsing, drying -- but also with the photographs and the people in them. At the crossroads where digital technology is replacing chemical films, the work of a darkroom printer will soon become non-existent. Inside his darkroom, he spills a profound, complex yet thrilling confession on his career, life, daily activities and existence.
A photograph freezes the moment into eternity, and is a human’s best tool to combat the forces of time.
导演的话
我们生活的时代每天都在发生着变化,短短十年间,网络取代书籍、数码取代胶片、手机代替信件……让身为八零后的我在为之热衷、追逐的同时,突然产生了一种类似失重的感觉。
我们的生活方式在改变,已经享受不到诸如“想念”,“等待”,和“体会”的感觉,生命太短暂了,哪来得及干这些?但我恰恰觉得,这才是生活的本质。我们和主人公一样,生活在幻象里,那里才是我们生活的动力和归宿。我希望能活得主观一些,深刻一些,能够不被生活的泡沫所淹没变得失去自我,失去“存在”的感觉。于是我写了这样一出独白剧,残忍地让主人公彻底地孤独下去,用“慢”来对抗时间的流逝,寻找一种能够唯一的永恒的存在的可能。
非常幸运的是,戏剧是非常富有质感地可以表达这种情感的方式,它的观众和演员当场存在的特殊构成,它的不可重复,不可剪辑性,在长达一个半小时的时间里,真是将“慢”进行到底了!我希望观众可以在戏里享受到时间的漫长,思考生活的意义,最后能喜欢这出戏。
