「地下鐵碰着芭」

內容簡介：

香港芭蕾舞團（舞團）與港鐵公司攜手推出「地下鐵碰着芭」，一眾舞團舞蹈員將彩虹站及灣仔站化身為表演舞台，兩條創意舞蹈影像——「陶醉的芭蕾舞者@彩虹站」及「這是灣仔@灣仔站」將芭蕾舞與車站藝術品結合，讓乘客以嶄新視野，認識及欣賞多元藝術。由2021年10月27日起，於香港芭蕾舞團各大社交媒體平台及港鐵網頁及YouTube頻道可欣賞。

在短片「陶醉的芭蕾舞者@彩虹站」中，一身復古書呆子造型打扮的舞蹈員迷上了三座體態優美的女芭蕾舞蹈員青銅雕像，企圖用精湛的舞蹈吸引她們的注意；「這是灣仔@灣仔站」則以灣仔站藝術裝置「這是灣仔」的寫實風照片為背景，舞蹈員以帶有格調、機智及戲謔式的超現實舞蹈穿梭車站，將灣仔朝氣蓬勃、充滿生機的一面呈現給大眾。

沉悶的疫情下，港鐵站化身為演出生活的舞台，美妙的芭蕾舞融入車站讓旅程更添姿彩 ，也給行色匆匆的乘客帶來一絲絲愜意。舞團希望藉此引起大眾重新想像，並重塑社區中的重要公共空間，讓乘客每天能從中獲得啟發。

Synopsis: Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) and MTR Corporation jointly present ‘The Ballet Encounters @ MTR’ with two innovatively entertaining dance videos ‘The Grace of Ballerinas @ Choi Hung Station’ and ‘This is Wan Chai @ Wan Chai Station’, transforming two public places into stages. Dancers from HKB perform around the iconic “Art in MTR” station artworks to offer passengers a fresh perspective and a chance to appreciate multiple forms of art at one glance. Videos are available for viewing from 27th October, 2021 onwards on HKB social media platforms as well as MTR website and YouTube channel.

In ‘The Grace of Ballerinas @ Choi Hung Station’, HKB dancers in retro-nerd’s look are fascinated by three ballerina statues in the station. In order to get the ballerinas’ attention, they dance around the statues, showing off their impeccable technique. In ‘This is Wan Chai @ Wan Chai Station’, HKB dancers frolic around the iconic station artwork ‘This is Wan Chai’ with its magical-realist photos serving as the backdrop of their performance, and catapult themselves through the station with style, wit, and a touch of tongue-in-cheek surrealism demonstrating a vibrant and upbeat Wan Chai to the audience.

This collaboration reimagines and reinvents the MTR stations as a public space at the heart of the local community, providing an opportunity for new discovery with every trip through the stations. We hope commuters can be unexpectedly inspired by art that elevates the human experience.
