《斬二王》自助導賞看排場

內容簡介：

《斬二王》是粵劇傳統「大排場十八本」之一，全劇行當齊全、文武兼備、故事性強，古老排場中的鏟椅、上高枱等高難度舞台功架，最為吸睛。「舞台官話」（中州韻）的唱唸表演形式，往往令部份觀眾因而卻步。故此，本項目把全劇壓縮，集中呈現〈兄弟結拜〉、〈醉斬二王〉和〈代夫報仇〉三場戲的「排場」，以最簡約「一桌兩椅」的格局，讓觀眾主要從視覺體會中國戲曲最獨特的一面。

Self-guided for watching Paichang (formulaic staging) "Execution of the Duke’s Second Brother"
Part 1 – Sworn Brothers

Presented by: Hong Kong Arts Development Council
Produced by: Kim Lun Cantonese Opera Troupe
Platform: YouTube
Link: https://youtu.be/xz_-5nDV2f8

Synopsis: Execution of the Duke’s Second Brother is a classic from the eighteen “Grand Sequences” (paichang) of Cantonese Opera. The play consists characters from all classes and a dramatic storyline, with exciting scenes of classic sequences like “chair stand”, “stance on high platform” and many others. Due to the vocals being sung in the antiquated Zhongzhou dialect, it might be difficult for audiences to comprehend. To help audience understand the sequences, this presentation will condense the original plays into three scenes, namely “Sworn Brothers”, “Execution of the Duke” and “Lamenting of the Besieged”. The stage is configured in the traditional one table two chairs setting, to reduce any distraction of the audience attention from the action.
