《倒行逆「思」》

內容簡介：

在疫情中的非常時間與空間裏，以非常身體，面對自我。

《倒行逆「思」》是一個簡單的儀式，也是行動。葡萄牙編舞麗塔 ·韋漢娜原定計劃在今年二月第48屆香港藝術節期間，從大館出發，倒行至香港動植物公園，以這集體的逆行儀式，嘗試打破社會的慣性規範。當身體轉化為抗爭意識的主體，身體可以是什麼？城市可會不同？

本片記錄了創作的來龍去脈，除了分享這個集體逆行儀式，如何從其他城市一步一步走到香港外，也剖析了香港版本的創作過程及首次披露港版《倒行逆「思」》的路線圖。此外亦結合了9月初於網上進行的工作坊及講座精華剪輯，讓大家更深入了解《倒行逆「思」》的創作概念從何而來，未來何去。

Making Space

Presented by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Produced by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Platform: Facebook

Synopsis: Imagine a different world in a different body!

Making Space is a simple ritual, as well as an action. It is the culmination of Portuguese choreographer Rita Vilhena’s research on audiences’ participation in rituals as performance and the body as culture. Originally conceived as a backward-walking ritual from Tai Kwun to the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens, the Hong Kong version of the work aimed to question the role of the body in a capitalist society: will our bodies be made redundant if they refuse to participate in the cycle of consumption? How different will our city become if the forward motion that we’ve been too accustomed to is contradicted?

In this online reincarnation of the programme, Portuguese artist Rita Vilhena will share how the walking backwards ritual has transformed from one city to another. Excerpts of an online workshop in Hong Kong that she conducted in September 2020 will also be shown, in which she discusses where the artwork came from, and where it is going to.
