從影像延伸舞台的混種紀錄歌劇
Extending documentary from screen to stage;Meeting of operatic forms
崑曲 Kunqu | 楊陽 Yang Yang
能劇 Noh | 鵜澤光 Hikaru Uzawa
歌劇 Opera | Olivia Salvadori
《肖像曲》 於2018年香港首演，以「紀錄」的概念為出發點。中國崑劇藝術家楊陽、日本能劇藝術家鵜澤光及當代聲樂藝術家 Olivia Salvadori 透過螢幕和舞台間種種不同形式的互動，述説他/她們面對的掙扎和挑戰：理想與現實間的分歧、承傳與個人間的矛盾、角色與演員間的模糊。
紀錄的形式從螢幕延伸至舞台，音樂也跨越不同的文化和體裁，融合古典與前衛、旋律與噪音、經典名曲與即興演出。從崑腔到謠段，從普契尼詠嘆調到vaporwave，三位藝術家進出於個人經歷與經典故事，在現實與虛構的角色之間探討自己與表演藝術的交織關係。他/她們在鏡頭之下，舞台之上，與觀眾一起突破東西方傳統戲劇、紀錄片與當代劇場的界限，開拓嶄新的混種演出模式。
Premiered in Hong Kong in 2018, Songs of Portrait takes the concept of “documentation” as its starting point. Through different interactions between screen and stage, Chinese Kunqu actor Yang Yang, Japanese Noh actor Hikaru Uzawa and contemporary operatic vocalist Olivia Salvadori explore the struggles and challenges they face as artists: the gaps between ideals and reality, the conflicts between tradition and individuality, the blurring of boundaries between role and actor.
Our forms of documentation extend from film to live performance on stage. The music is also a cross-cultural generic hybrid that merges classical and avant-garde, melody and noise, and set pieces and improvisation. From Kun singing to Noh chanting, from Puccini arias to vaporwave — the three artists shuffle between their personal lives and classical works to explore their relationships with performance art through dialogue between their real and fictive selves. Beneath the camera and above the stage, they bring the audience with them as they break the boundaries between Eastern and Western traditional operatic forms, documentary film and contemporary theatre, and invent a brand-new form of hybrid performance.
