　　《The Good Person of Beijing》

　　导演：夜猫子工作室

　　故事梗概：

　　三位神仙来北京寻找好人。在下岗技校教师老王的帮助下，找到了洗头妹沈黛。他们给沈黛留下了一爿杂货店，要她行善，结果还没开张就几乎被穷人们吃到了破产的边缘。 紧要关头，表哥隋大赶来轰走了穷人。以后，沈黛又解救了留学无望的大学生余标，并爱上了他。可她期盼的婚礼却变成了一场闹剧，而自己还有了身孕。危难面前，隋大赶来救难，只见他腾挪跌宕，造假、行贿、偷税漏税、拖欠工资，不一而足。终于，沈黛的小店变成了大买卖。可是，沈黛却不见了踪影。于是，余标联合起沈黛周济过的阶级兄弟，把“挟持沈黛霸占财产”的隋大告上了神仙法庭。最后时刻，隋达脱去了伪装，显身为沈黛。三位神仙将如何判决？

　　Having traveled far and wide in search of good people who still live according to the principles they have handed down, three gods arrive in Beijing and, being tired, ask Wang, a laid-off vocational school lecturer, to find them shelter for the night. Wang takes them to Shen Teh, a young prostitute and the only exception in a world of greed, evil, dishonesty and selfishness, whose pure inherent charity cannot allow her to turn away anyone in need. The gods give her money and she buys a humble convenience store which they intend as both gift and test. Though at first Shen Teh seems to live up to the gods' expectations, her generosity quickly turns her small shop into a messy, overcrowded poorhouse. She is forced to introduce the invented cousin Shui Ta as overseer and protector of her interests. Shen Teh also meets a college student, Yu Biao, who is desperate for going to the U.S., and whom Shen Teh quickly falls in love with after preventing him from hanging himself. However, Yu Biao doesn't return Shen Teh's feelings but simply uses her for money and Shen Teh quickly falls pregnant with his child. Eventually Shen Teh’s true persona seems to be consumed by her cousin's severity. Being suspicious about Shen Teh’s disappearance, the townspeople take Shui Ta to the court of the gods, where Shui Ta asks the room to be cleared and reveals herself to the gods. What will be the gods’ judgment?

　　导演介绍：

　　夜猫子工作室看来，当下艺术创作是在中西、新旧的组合间寻找可能。而中而旧、西而旧、西而新这三种流行的创作追求，或难以大有作为。我们要追求的是中而新的艺术创作。

　　Other than the three predominant models for making art in China today, i.e. ancient Chinese, ancient Western, and new Western，based on three common ways of combining the ethnic polarities of Chinese and Western on the one hand and the temporal polarities of ancient and new on the other，we the Night Hawks as an independent experimental group feel that the prospects for art in China lie in trying and creating a new Chinese art.

　　导演的话：

　　本剧源自布莱希特的《四川好人》。但我们不是学大师说话，是接着大师的话题继续往下说：在人剥削人、人压迫人的社会，如何做个好人。

　　表现上，我们开发曲艺遗产。借助三弦的叙事风格，推进舞台行动。演员在演出者和角色间自由转换：起身演戏，落座弹唱。他们一般身兼两个角色；边演边唱边说，既装扮又评说。风格肖似速写和漫画，而非素描；又仿佛和朋友聊天，兴之所至，绘声绘色，手舞足蹈，但并不以为自己真就是故事中人。视觉设计上我们强调日常生活的美——摆摊的自家屋顶上还开满喇叭花呢。音效不插电，用三合板造雷、扇子加扣子造雨、还有鸟哨和木鱼；要在观众面前让日常见惯的顿改旧观，让寻常化为神奇。

　　What we offer here is derived from Brecht’s Good Person. What we hope to achieve will be a variation on his theme rather than a refrain: in a world (thought in the past to have belonged to the past) where man exploits man, how a man may behave like a good man.

　　In terms of performance, we take recourse to traditional local music. The sanxian will be played in full view of audiences to energize action. Actors will switch between performing agents and dramatis personae. They will rise for action in the centre of the stage and take a seat to sing against the accompaniment of plucked strings. At once acting and singing, impersonating and commenting, they will each assume two parts. Figuratively speaking, they are expected to render sketches and cartoons instead of meticulously executed drawings. They should seem as if they were chatting with friends, gesticulating, even cutting capers and warbling when excited, although at no time will they forget they are merely players.

　　For the visual style, we turn to the quotidian and mundane for a beauty perhaps comparable to the “Morning Glory” blossoming on the roof of our Hutong grocery store. For sound effect, instead of the electronic, we make thunder and rain with plywood boards and lotus-leaf fans, and chirps and croaks with porcelain whistles and temple blocks.

　　Let’s wait for an extraordinary metamorphosis of the ordinary.
