香港演藝學院導演碩士畢業作品選《恐懼教室》

內容簡介：

畏懼權力，選擇默不作聲；面對死亡，誰能置身事外。

天真無邪的年輕學生，來到教授的家中補習，過程中，三位管家看着教授不斷灌輸其思想，然而學生難以汲收和理解箇中的邏輯。學習氣氛逐漸變樣，管家們看在眼裏，盤算如何應對即將一發不可收拾的事態......

中英劇團決心培育舞台劇優秀人才，第七度與香港演藝學院攜手打造導演碩士畢業作品。縱使今次因為疫情，首度以網上節目形式呈獻畢業作品，仍堅持為準畢業生提供專業製作水準的支援，讓新晉導演專注於藝術創作，盡情揮灑創意。

是次畢業作品《恐懼教室》的意念來自荒誕派劇場之父，法國劇作家Eugène Ionesco於1951年發表的The Lesson。導演黃劍冰以壓迫事件中緘默的旁觀者為視點重新創作，編劇時刻意強調管家一角的反應，留下空間讓觀眾反思旁觀者的選擇。

HKAPA MFA Director Graduate Production Thesis Project: GOODBYE CLASS

Presented by: Chung Ying Theatre Company, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
Produced by: Chung Ying Theatre Company, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts
Platform: art-mate VIDEO ROOM

Synopsis: The fear of power silenced people. Who can stay on the sidelines when facing death?

A young and innocent student arrives at a professor’s home to have a lesson. Three butlers notice that the professor keeps indoctrinating the student with her ideas in the lesson. However, the student has great difficulty in absorbing and understanding the logic. Three butlers observed the change of atmosphere and they are planning carefully how to deal with the unstoppable development of the incident…

Chung Ying Theatre Company is determined to cultivate outstanding talent. This is the seventh time that we join hands with the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to present a Director Graduate Production Thesis Project. Although this is the first time to present the project in the form of an online program due to the epidemic, we still insist on providing professional production support to the graduate, allowing the new director to focus on artistic creation.

The play is inspired by The Lesson which was presented in 1951 by French playwright Eugène Ionesco, the father of Theatre of the Absurd. Director Pansy Wong writes the play from a perspective of silent bystanders in oppression, who also intentionally emphasises the reaction of the butlers, leaving room for the audience to ponder over the choice of the bystanders.
