《1357》──用身體說故事
偶數常被認為是「好」，而奇數則是「壞」。
眾生卻偏好後者的不平衡與無常。
《1357》聚焦生活的平衡與失衡，以劇團日常訓練和創作裏常用的其中四個創作元素──面具、肢體、物件及威也特技，分別以鏡頭視角創作四條短片，探索劇場與電影的無限可能。每條短片包括演出片段和幕後花絮。
第一集：《天鳥》
「只要抬起頭，就可以在大廈之間的窄縫看到飛機那龐大的身軀經過，
甚至為降落而伸出來的車輪也能看得一清二楚。
如果身處大廈天台，飛機就像是伸手可及。」
那些年，我們從啟德起飛。
啟德機場已關閉二十多年，區內的噪音不再；
臨別的萬千叮嚀、接機的歡笑熱鬧、濃濃的人情味彷彿也不再。
那年的新婚夫婦，現在已滿頭銀髮。他們站在鐵絲網前，再緩緩抬起頭……

Synopsis: 1357 – Storytelling Through the Body
Even numbers are often considered “good”, and odd numbers “bad”.
But don’t we all prefer a little asymmetric, unconventional oddness in life?
1357 focuses on the symmetric and the unbalanced in life. Making use of four of the creative elements in daily training routine and artistic creation in physical theatre – mask, body, object and wire work, this production is made up of four short video clips created with snapshots which aim to explore the infinite possibilities between theatre and movie-making. Each clip covers the showcase and a behind-the-scenes featurette.
Episode 1: Flying Bird
“Lift your head, and you’ll see the massive aircraft flying by through the gap between the skyscrapers. Sometimes, you can even clearly see the landing gear extending. If you’re standing on the rooftop, the planes seem to be within arm’s reach.” In those bygone years, Kai Tak Airport was the place where we took off.
It has been more than twenty years since the Kai Tak Airport was closed, and the deafening aircraft noise in the Kowloon City neighbourhood has died down ever since. The reluctant goodbyes at the Departure area, the joyful reunions at the Arrival Hall — all such fond memories of our loved ones seem to have become history.
In front of the barbed wires stands a silver-haired old couple, who were happy newly-weds then. Slowly, they lift their heads skyward again...
