《小心輕放》是芬蘭著名編舞漢娜・波洛翠蕾絲首次在香港進行的實驗創作,因為疫情關係,編舞將透過網上平台,引導參加者挖掘身體所盛載的回憶,嘗試打破人性的脆弱面,展現潛藏在生命裏面的大愛,舞出人類最純粹的連繫。
本片記錄了《小心輕放》在創作進行中的排練過程,當中有很多值得我們細味的分享內容。作品的主題從身體的連繫與觸碰出發,在強調社交距離的新常規下,更見其獨特意義。
《小心輕放》原邀請了本港80位素人表演者合力創作,並安排在今年二月第48屆香港藝術節期間,於大館首演,因為疫情關係,創作進行中版本參與人數調整至24人。

Fragile : work-in-progress
Presented by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Produced by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Platform: Facebook
Synopsis: Fragile, the first creation of Finnish choreographer Hanna Brotherus in Hong Kong, was meant to explore and reflect on the emotion hidden in participants’ bodies, the value of empathy and the strength that lies within us. The work attempts to relieve our frailty through physical touch and making connections.
The documentary Fragile: work-in-progress is a valuable record of her creative process, documenting rehearsal with local community dancers conducted remotely through an online platform during the pandemic. At a time when social distancing is the new normal, Brotherus’s choreography of human connection has taken on a new meaning.
Fragile was originally conceived for 80 members from the community and was scheduled to premiere in February 2020 at the 48th Hong Kong Arts Festival. Due to the anti-epidemic measures, the number of participants in this work-in-progress rehearsal was reduced to 24.
