《看透黑暗》

內容簡介：

《看透黑暗》由不休止舞團藝術總監米雪．賴恩執導，嘗試以身體回應法國表現主義畫家喬治．魯奧的作品。舞團的六位舞者在南澳美術館表演，身旁是魯奧的畫作。光、影與身體律動，把畫家筆下充滿人性的單色畫變作栩栩如生的舞姿。

賴恩說：「魯奧筆下不完美的人體形態和不安的靈魂，與殘疾人士的感覺和他人對其的認知產生共鳴。有些人會感到抵觸，而另一些則看見差異中的美。」

「一個人的經驗由多個層面建構而成，既有璀璨奪目的喜樂與成就，又有揮之不去的痛苦與失落。然而最終，我們留下來的是甚麼？」

這次表演大膽運用戲劇化的光影效果，光弧圍繞著舞者，仿似太陽的軌跡，描繪整場演出，刻畫整個空間。

Seeing Through Darkness

Presented by: Hong Kong Arts Festival
Produced by: Restless Dance Theatre
Platform: Website

Synopsis: Directed by Michelle Ryan, artistic director of Restless Dance Theatre, Seeing Through
Darkness is a physical response to the works of French expressionist artist Georges
Rouault. The company’s six dancers perform in the Art Gallery of South Australia
alongside the works of Rouault, with the artist’s influential monochromatic portrayals
of humanity brought to life through lighting, shadow and movement.

Ryan says, “The imperfect form of the human body and the troubled soul of the works
of Rouault resonate with how people with disabilities can feel and be perceived. Some
may be confronted while others may see beauty in difference.”

“There are many facets that create the human experience. Some are vibrant flashes
of joy and achievement while others are the lingering remains of pain and loss. But
ultimately, what do we leave behind?”

The performance is supported by the dramatic use of light and bold shadow work.
The result sees light arc around the performers, mimicking the way the sun tracks and
allowing the performance and space to be painted by light.
