演出介绍⊙
《887》由罗伯·勒帕吉自编自导自演,以单人戏剧的形式并配合机器神(Ex Machina)公司制作的“舞台魔方”将他的个人经历搬上舞台。“887”是勒帕吉家的门牌号,他在那里度过了童年,全剧以此为起点讲述故乡,讲述每个人的所来之处,探讨自我、记忆、历史、语言等于文学和生活而言极为重要的主题。
勒帕吉使用了影像和多媒体等手段徐徐道出他的成长经历,以他电影化的、沉浸式戏剧制作风格,带领观众们穿越到他的童年。他在舞台上通过一座房屋的模型,向观众讲述了一个拼命摆脱工人阶级的家庭的斗争故事以及他的离家故事,并把这些故事和魁北克的解放运动联系起来。多年以后再看曾经住过的那栋楼,已物是人非。曾经的心结,曾经的不解,曾经的曾经都被时间刷走,还有什么是执着不放的呢?《887》是倾诉记忆的戏剧,也是一种有关世界观的隐喻与反映,我们对于世界的感知方式则会影响到戏剧结构与叙事。
剧情介绍⊙
《887》是加拿大导演罗伯·勒帕吉的自传性作品,这是他第一次以自己作为主角的独角戏演出,将我们带入他的回忆中,透过回溯他成长期间的一九六、七○年代,回到勒帕吉童年的住所--魁北克市莫瑞街887号。故事开始是主角要参加诗歌节的朗诵,被要求背诵全诗的他发现自己的记忆力大为衰退,为了完成该任务,主角派上了“记忆宫殿”(Memory Palace)这个源自古希腊的记忆术,主要情节包括导演开计程车的父亲、典型魁北克工人阶级家庭,家中小孩分别上英语与法语学校,自幼处在多元文化的世界。勒帕吉以独角戏的形式将从个人到国族,微观至宏观的复杂叙事,所有这些问题都被提炼到一个故事中,勒帕吉在剧场表演中一边探究了我们的记忆是如何运作的,一边揭示出一个演员的痛苦,希望观众看到的不仅是他的现在,还应关注到其过去,以及个人身份是如何被历史和社会现实所塑造。
About 887
887 is a journey into the realm of memory. The idea for this project originated from the childhood memories of Robert Lepage; years later, he plunges into the depths of his memory and questions the relevance of certain recollections. Why do we remember the phone number from our youth yet forget our current one? How does a childhood song withstand the test of time, permanently ingrained in our minds, while the name of a loved one escapes us? Why does meaningless information stick with us, but other more useful information falls away?
How does memory work? What are its underlying mechanisms? How does a personal memory resonate within the collective memory?
887 considers various commemorative markers—the names of parks, streets, stelae and monuments—and the historical heritage around us that we no longer notice. Consequently, the play also focuses on oblivion, the unconscious, and this memory that fades over time and whose limits are compensated for by digital storage, mountains of data and virtual memory. In this era, how is theatre, an art based on the act of remembering, still relevant today?
All of these questions are distilled into a story where Lepage, somewhere between a theatre performance and a conference, reveals the suffering of an actor who—by definition, or to survive—must remember not only his text, but also his past, as well as the historical and social reality that has shaped his identity.
