結合舞蹈、錄像、數碼創作的跨媒體舞蹈劇場《茫然先生》,由城市當代舞蹈團(CCDC)駐團編舞家桑吉加及劇作家潘詩韻聯手創作,與西九文化區自由空間合辦,為「自由駐:城市當代舞蹈團」其中一個節目,移師雲端劇場,於2021年3月5至18日線上播放平台限時串流放映。舞蹈電影版由本地舞蹈影像導演許雅舒執導,在充滿壓迫感的空間設定下,探討監控中的權力遊戲。
活在監控系統無處不在的時代,世界就等於一個大型攝錄棚,我們每天置身鏡頭海洋中。即使在虛擬世界,也難以躲開個人資料被不斷存取,眼前的屏幕猶如高牆。錄像在四面圍封的密閉空間內,以多部攝影機拍攝,鏡頭帶領觀眾迫視舞者多角度面向,看著一個一個如同自身寫照的「茫然先生」,刺激對現實處境的反思。

Mr Blank Screendance Version
Presented by: City Contemporary Dance Company
Produced by: City Contemporary Dance Company
Platform: art-mate VIDEO ROOM
Synopsis: The world is like a huge film studio. Living in an era flooded by the ocean of information and camera lenses, surveillance is ubiquitous, and virtual screens are like high walls. Co-created by CCDC resident choreographer Sang Jijia and award-winning playwright Janice Poon, screendance version of Mr Blank is a dance theatre experience that boldly challenges the use of surveillance cameras in our everyday lives.
Partnering with Freespace of West Kowloon Cultural District, Mr Blank is one of the programmes of “CCDC in Residence”. The stage was set up as a confined space enclosed on all sides and recorded with multiple cameras. Dancers are filmed on-site from different angles. Audience will reflect on the myths of various surveillance and access of personal data that they face daily.
