像感受记忆一样理解

  1. 图像时代重塑了叙事的节奏和方式,现在,当我们想象故事时我们已无法不做好面对片段和闪回的准备。这是对故事和叙事的祛魅,使她们永不再能够和从前一样在话语中占据最特殊地位——现在我们渐渐意识到这种失去。我们需要一场 Re-Enchantment。
  2. 影片的意义在于重看,而剧场的意义在于遗忘——以及,必然与之同时产生的,遗忘的反面。一旦发生就意味着被错过,或更进一步说,发生即是错过,被错过即发生的意义*。观众/人不会停止尝试捕捉发生,其必然的失败是剧场存在的根本原因。从此角度出发,观看的批量制造,与观看的偶然性,只能是此消彼长的关系。
  3. 如此,便应该像理解、感受记忆那样想象剧场。记忆从不只针对时间成立,即使它是,也不只针对过去成立。罗马神话中的双头神雅努斯,一张脸望过去,一张脸望未来,剧场亦如是,观众在剧场中亦应如是。
  4. Immersive-ness is but only the footnote of performativity. The more immersive a theatre is, the more performative it is at the same time. The immersive-ness could never be holistically realised – the actualisation of immersion sentences the death of theatre/performance. It is the very reason why immersive theatre could never truly become a real praxis at its own.
  5. The standard of imagining so-called immersive theatre is waiting to be revaluated. To say a theatre/performance is immersive is violent and coercive in the sense that it is no difference from trying to forcibly separate theatricality into (at least) two parts: the performance, and the other part that exists only to lure you to think that this is not a performance – which more than often happens to result in emphasising how much of a performance this is. In this sense the idea of immersive theatre is nowhere experimental but instead a grand returning to the pre-origin of the theatrical form.
  6. 大空间里人变小,小空间里人变大——人的重量在观众的整体空间感受中占据何等位置,对于观众对戏「人化程度」的思考会产生影响。所谓人化程度即是剧场有多大程度直接和人相关:太直接就枯燥,太不直接就失焦。所有剧场都和人相关,有些剧场从此出发,另一些剧场至此作结——还有一些其他剧场可以走得比这更远。
