以 Alain Platel 創立的比利時舞團 les ballets C de la B 作品《不眠之夜》所探討的暴力與衝 突為原點，展現舞者以唯美的形體坦露暴烈背 後的種種，並記錄音樂設計、舞台裝置的創作 概念。然而，本片不止於該製作的舞台紀錄。 導演為探索個人及群體衝突的根源，從舞蹈紀 錄延伸成社會研究，藉不同層面深入探討，採 訪舞者痛苦的個人經歷，亦找來各方專家及通 過各種意象和視覺隱喻，從社會學、歷史、經 濟和哲學等方面，窺探人類永遠離不開暴力的 真相，在純美的創作與殘酷的暴力之間審視人 性的根本，讓身處其中的我們反思現世何去 何從。

影片含有暴力場面 The film contains violence scene.

A creative documentary depicting Nicht Schlafen , the production by Alain Platel’s les ballets C de la B, with harsh physicality among the performers and jaw-droppingly beautiful aesthetics of the stage as human forms enact their choreography of violence, accompanied by the music of Mahler. Apart from simply unfolding the making of the production, the filmmakers embarked on an odyssey to explore conflicts, whether on a personal level or a collective scale, with dancers interviews on their agonising personal experiences, insightful aspects from historian Philipp Blom, sculptor Berlinde De Bruyckere, conductor Teodor Currentzis and philosopher Tinneke Beeckman on the sociological, historical, economic and philosophical conditions that drive our species inexorably towards violence. With a variety of imagery and visual metaphors, the film analyses social change and the power of humanity, which always seems to balance between creating something spectacularly beautiful and something horribly cruel. By trying to understand the cruelty around us, and within ourselves, we are able to better cope with the world today.
