告不可報 Report ii: the illegal-i

「⋯⋯怎樣可以釋放自己、解放世界，而不招至粉身碎骨⋯⋯
- 《卡夫卡日記》

自由與平等，有多脆弱？人性與權力，有多扭曲？
且看報告如何演繹。

取材自卡夫卡魔幻式文學作品《致某科學院的報告》，講述有關被科學家作研究對象的猿人，接受人性化教育，在掙扎及演進過程中，尋找自己與自由。

由敢於破格的編舞家林俊浩帶領下，團隊於2019年以大館的監獄操場作嘗試，創作了場域回應式作品《報告一》，扣連建築空間及題材，
演出與古蹟的歷史互相結合。

《告不可報》作為延續，跨文化創作團隊為作品帶來更寬闊的視點，進一步反思在當代社會中，自由與平等的價值可以有多脆弱，同時人性與權力可以有多扭曲。作品移師至劇場，空間作為另一種借代，以多媒介結合創作，融入形體、跑酷 (parkour)、舞蹈、戲劇敘事、現場音樂、饒舌 (rap)、影像，建立另一種體驗式演出。

"… how to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces…"
- The Diaries of Franz Kafka

Today, how vulnerable are the ideals of liberty and equality when humans stop at nothing to get what they want?

Let's see what our REPORT has to say.

Inspired by Franz Kafka's A Report to An Academy, this production follows the struggles and transformations of apes who attempt to become human in order to obtain the freedom they long for.

Drawing inspiration from Kafka's text, boundary pusher Ivanhoe Lam and his team did a site-responsive performance at the Prison Yard of Tai Kwun, Hong Kong in early 2019.

This new edition is set in an indoor theatre space where the audience are taken on another experiential journey to the allegorical "Academy". It investigates how the oft-espoused values of liberty and equality really operate in the contemporary world, and how easily they can be compromised. The team also go further to explore how institutional forces, for their own benefit, manipulate one's sense of self and purpose. The new edition is devised from the personal experiences and perspectives of a cross-cultural team of performers. An experiential theatre performance that integrates creative text, movement, music, rap, narrative, video and participatory spatial design.
