行政長官的話 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE

I would like to congratulate the Hong Kong Arts Festival on the organisation of its 51st edition.

For more than half a century now, the Arts Festival has enthralled audiences with a superb annual programme of arts and culture performances embracing classical music and opera, theatre, dance, multimedia and a great deal more.

This year’s Arts Festival programme opens with the Slovene National Theatre Maribor’s ballet performances of Radio and Juliet and Le Sacre du Printemps, two classics re-imagined by celebrated choreographer Edward Clug. It closes, nearly five weeks later, with a concert by Germany’s Bamberg Symphony, one of Europe’s greatest orchestras. Other highlights include Anna Netrebko, one of the world’s great sopranos, performing with her husband, tenor Yusif Eyvazov; artist William Kentridge’s remarkable production of Monteverdi’s opera, Il Ritorno d’Ulisse, brought to life by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company and Belgium’s Ricercar Consort periodinstrument ensemble; Ballet Superstars’ Force of Nature and Legendary Ballerina

新知。「香港藝術節青少年之友」計 劃同樣以豐富年輕人的體驗為目標， 籌備了多場學校巡演、演前工作坊和 特備節目。「加料節目」的創意活動 則把全港觀眾與藝術家連繫起來，讓 藝術文化遍及社區。

我感謝香港藝術節盡心竭力推廣藝術 文化，協助推動香港發展為中外文 化藝術交流中心。我亦感謝一眾贊 助商和捐款人慷慨襄助，令藝術節精 彩紛呈。

今年的藝術盛宴每場表演均可貴可 喜，大家定能盡情享受，樂在其中。

in Two Feet featuring supreme ballerina Natalia Osipova; and concerts by the international award-winning piano virtuoso Bruce Liu.

As always, the Festival shines a spotlight on standout artists from Hong Kong. This year’s Cantonese opera offerings include Love in the Bamboo Grove, Cantonese Opera Classics Circa 2023, The Painted Skin (Refined Edition) and Virtues and Morality—Four Cantonese Operas. Local productions including Table For Six on Stage, Loveless Romance and Love Streams are sure to be among this year’s Festival highlights.

Several programmes invite public participation as well, including the First Steps participatory dance performances staged by France’s Tamanoir Immersive Studio, as well as Tai Kwun’s free series of arts tech productions and the Festival’s No Limits programme, led by local and international artists of varying abilities. No Limits’ offerings emphasise youth exploration, as does the Young Friends of the Hong Kong Arts Festival with its school tours, preperformance workshops and special programming. And then there is the Festival PLUS creative activities that bring artists and audiences together in communities throughout Hong Kong.

I am grateful to the Hong Kong Arts Festival for its inspired commitment to the arts and to Hong Kong’s continuing rise as an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange. My thanks, as well, to the Festival’s many generous sponsors and donors.

I know you will treasure every performance, every moment, of this year’s Hong Kong Arts Festival.

Our theme this year, “Coming Back, Moving Forward”, represents our determination to come back in full force after several years of uncertainties caused by the pandemic. After five decades of hard work and dedication, the Festival has established itself as a premier arts event in the region and an important international arts festival. We are honoured to carry this legacy forward, while advancing our multifaceted work to stay relevant in the present. In the 51st edition, we discover creative voices through new renditions of masterpieces, cross-disciplinary collaborations and commissioned productions— all of which showcase the breadth and endless possibilities of the performing arts, taking us one step

Beyond exceptional performances, we are also offering a series of auxiliary PLUS programmes to enhance audience engagement and provide deeper insights into our programmes. Our strong commitment to arts education is seen in the extensive outreach activities aimed at inspiring the younger generation of Hong Kong through promoting quality arts.

The Festival steps into the second half of its first centenary with both optimism and renewed courage to bravely face the great challenges ahead. I hope you will stay close with us and be inspired by what the Festival has to offer.

These include films, lecture demonstrations, masterclasses, workshops, symposia, backstage visits, exhibitions, meet-the-artist sessions, and guided cultural tours.

The HKAF actively promotes inclusiveness and understanding via the arts to every corner of the community. The “No Limits” project, co-presented with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, was launched in 2019. Through a series of performances and diverse arts experiences for students and the community, “No Limits” strives to create an inclusive space for people with different abilities to share the joy of the arts together.

The HKAF officially launched the Hong Kong Arts Festival Foundation in 2022 to provide greater financial security and longterm sustainability for the Festival. Donations to the Foundation will help the Festival to present large-scale projects which its annual budget cannot cater for. (2023

故事大綱

《水之書》的中心人物是一位 正在經歷記憶衰退的 73 歲鰥 夫——蓋沙。一連幾日的極端天 氣，讓蓋沙被困家中，與世界 徹底隔絕。然而，正在逐漸崩 塌的不僅僅是他的記憶—— 鄉 郊的連場暴雨帶來洪水與山泥 傾瀉，令他身邊原本挺立的一 切事物也開始土崩瓦解。

在《水之書》中，我們看到一 個人是如何逐漸被侵蝕的，而 這種侵蝕既存在於自然中，也 存在於內心裏，令人不勝唏 噓。蓋沙竭盡全力，想最後一

次把一切釐清，好為自己與人 類文明尋找意義。他瘋狂地從 百科全書、聖經等典籍中剪下 一段段字句，想要盡可能地抓 住更多知識，以掌控自己的人

生。他最感興趣的主題是水， 以及人類在地球歷史中扮演的 角色。愈來愈多的知識，慢慢 堆積成雜亂、矛盾的想法。周 圍的自然環境開始支離破碎， 然而蓋沙把已知事實當作唯一 信念，相信「無記憶便無知 識」，因此他最怕的就是喪失

記憶。蓋沙讀到某些城市建於 水上，就想，上漲的水是否要 收回自己的失地，以此來迫使 人類清醒。

他思考時間是如何由水創造 的，也思考水的本質（「一個 氧原子與兩個氫原子的結合， 正是這簡單的三原子結構成就 了所有的美與複雜」）。水的 本質似乎映射了蓋沙複雜的思 維。他剪下關於創造人類的章 節（「神的靈運行在水面上」 及「如果有一天再也沒有人不 能接受沒有創造者的創造，那 神還會存在嗎」）。他剪下關 於水及聲音起源的字句，那是 世界的基調，沒有任何意義， 是「風琴管般的冰凌」，和聲 的前身。

他的女兒（女高音，同時分飾 其母，我們不時能聽到她的 聲音）多日來一直嘗試致電父 親，但未能接通，因此親身來 探望。蓋沙最後剪下的一張紙 片上，是對中風症狀的描述。

Synopsis

The Book of Water revolves around the character Geiser, a widower of 73 who is struggling with memory loss. Extreme weather conditions have confined Geiser to his home, completely isolating him from the outside world. It is not only Geiser’s memory that is steadily deteriorating; his surroundings are also literally crumbling away due to the heavy rain pelting the countryside, which is causing flooding and landslides.

The Book of Water paints a chilling portrait of a man who has become a victim of erosion, both of nature and within himself. He strains with all his might to achieve clarity, just one last time, so that he can make sense of himself and civilisation. He frenetically tries to maintain control by holding onto as much knowledge as he can, in the form of a huge collection of clippings from books, encyclopaedias and the Bible. He is mainly interested in water and the role of humans in the history of the earth. His body of knowledge turns into one big jumble of incoherent ideas. While the natural world around him seems to be falling apart, Geiser puts all his faith into known facts; “no knowledge without memory”. Losing his memory is what he fears the most. Geiser reads about cities built on water and wonders if the water is coming to reclaim what it owns, forcing humankind to become more lucid.

He thinks about how time is created by water, about the essence of water (“one oxygen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, this simple trinity is the source of all beauty and complexity”), which melds with the complexity of Geiser’s thoughts. There are clippings about the human creation story (“the spirit of God floated over the waters”/”would God exist if there were someday no human brain ever again that cannot imagine a creation without a creator”), about the origins of water and sound, the groundtone of the world, devoid of meaning, and the “icicles like organ pipes”, the precursors of musical harmony.

His daughter (the soprano, who also plays her mother in a double role, and whose voice we hear occasionally) has been trying to reach him by telephone for days, and she comes to see him. His last clipping is a description of the symptoms of a stroke.

作曲家的話 Composer's Note

在《水之書》中，米歇爾．梵 德阿將舞台空間與視覺影像進 一步延伸融合。舞台上的投影 媒介（紗簾）也在錄像中有所 運用。特別是在蓋沙腦出血 後，一模一樣的紗簾軌道突然 出現在影片中。屬於台上演員 與樂手的物理空間，一下子被 拉入了錄像世界。而當原本 寫實的錄像世界瞬間變得戲劇 化，我們亦開始質疑蓋沙的精 神狀態。

本劇台詞由台上唯一演員西 門．韋斯特道出，而錄像投 影則講述了故事的另一部分。 同樣位於舞台上的弦樂四重奏 是場景中不可分割的部分。此 外，台上掛有一組紗簾，將舞 台及演員與樂手間分隔成不同 空間，這些平展的紗簾充當了

投影媒介，可嚴絲合縫地組合 在一起，而演員也可在劇情推 進時，通過移動紗簾來改換場 景。影像內容則是預先錄製

的，主要圍繞主角蓋沙（由提 摩太．韋斯特飾演）、他的女 兒及其他村民展開。影片中的 人物會回應舞台上的演員及樂 手，反之亦然，屏幕內外形 成互動。

《水之書》將弗里施小說的主題 放進一個更宏大、更具話題性 的世界觀中。劇中迫使主角重 塑自我的大水，如今放諸四海 皆是十分急切的現實議題。而 正是當前現狀讓本劇創作團隊 想要用語言、音樂及最先進的 科技來描繪一幅新的現實圖景。

觀眾可以從劇中看到兩種侵蝕 的進程，並自行解讀劇作與當

今世界的相似之處。一直以 來，蓋沙都能緊緊把握其記憶 與知識。然而現在，他身份的 邊界開始變得模糊不定了。他 的一切正在分崩離析，曾經對 世界的感知像漩渦一樣讓他陷 入其中。正如梵德阿電影歌劇 《上載》中被「傳輸」到數碼 現實的父親角色，現實與想像 中的現實對蓋沙來說也變得模 糊了。作為旁觀者，我們並不 確定蓋沙所說的是他內心的世 界，還是門外的世界。隨着環 境不斷變化並影響蓋沙，我們 在舞台上看到的亦隨之而變。 這不僅會影響演員及樂手，也 能在演奏的音樂中感受到。台 上的表演者（尤其是蓋沙）跟 台下的觀眾一樣要應對不斷變 化的環境。

本作首演於威尼斯，眾所周 知，水城威尼斯正面臨刻不容 緩的海平面上升問題。此外， 本作還曾在荷蘭演出，而作為 世界水利工程之都的荷蘭，近 年也意外地遭受了慘重洪災。 《水之書》讓弗里施 40 餘年前 寫就的文學作品有了現世的關 聯，而其探討的核心則是永恆 的，即個人在流動世界中的生 活與生存。《水之書》與我們每 一個人都息息相關。

米歇爾．梵德阿

In The Book of Water, Michel van der Aa went a step further in blending and extending the stage space and film. The onstage projection materials (curtains) are also used in the film. Notably, right after Geiser’s haemorrhage, the same curtain rails suddenly appear in the film; the physical world of the stage actor and musicians is drawn into the film world. The film world, which began realistically, suddenly becomes theatrical at the point we start to have our doubts about Geiser’s mental state.

The text is spoken on stage by the actor (Samuel West), and parts of the story are projected in the form of video images. The string quartet on stage is an integral part of the mise-enscène. The video images are projected on tautly stretched curtains hung around and in between the players (actor and musicians). The actor can change the scenery by moving the curtains as the narrative progresses. The video element consists of pre-recorded images of the main character Geiser (Timothy West), his daughter and other villagers. The characters in the video images react to the on-stage actor and musicians and vice versa, creating an interaction with the mise-en-scène.

The Book of Water places the themes of Frisch’s book in a larger and topical Weltanschauung (view of the world). The flooding that forces

the main character to reinvent himself is of global urgency and relevance today. It has inspired the creators of The Book of Water to depict a new reality using language, music and the most advanced technology.

The audience witnesses two processes of erosion and it is up to us to draw parallels with today’s world. Geiser was able to cling to his memories and his knowledge for years, but the boundaries of his identity are becoming fluid. He is on the verge of disintegrating and being absorbed into what was once his perception of the world. Just as how the father character in van der Aa’s film opera Upload was “in transit” to a digital reality, the line between reality and imagined reality has blurred for Geiser. It is not always clear to us as spectators whether Geiser’s utterances refer to his inner world or to the world outside his door. What we see on stage changes along with the changing environment that is affecting Geiser. This affects the actor and on-stage musicians, and is also audible in the music itself. Like the audience, those on stage, particularly Geiser, are having to cope with a changing environment.

A substantive frame of reference is provided by the premiere in Venice, where the problem of rising sea levels is so obvious and acute, and performances in the Netherlands, the world water-engineering capital, which was unexpectedly and tragically

struck by flooding quite recently. This work gives new relevance to a literary work written more than 40 years ago, with a timeless underlying idea: the life and survival of the individual in a fluid world. The Book of Water touches us all.

Michel van der Aa

困在洪水氾濫時

Water, Water Everywhere

荷蘭作曲家兼導演米歇爾‧ 梵德阿作品《水之書》，融和音樂、戲劇和錄像，講述一個關於腦退化症 和失落的故事。劇作由父子檔演員領銜主演。

With The Book of Water, Dutch composer-director Michel van der Aa brings together music, theatre and film to tell a tale of dementia and loss that stars a father-son acting duo.

音樂劇場《水之書》檢視人類 思想和自然景觀的消弭，形式 創新眩目，教人難以忘懷。

作品將戲劇、錄像和音樂，包 括現場室內樂及電子樂共冶一 爐，由來自荷蘭的米歇爾‧梵 德阿作曲及執導，繼 2022 年 9 月於威尼斯雙年展全球首演 後，將於 2023 年香港藝術節舉 行亞洲首演。

《水之書》改編自 20 世紀瑞士最 著名作家之一馬克斯·弗里施 的小說《人類出現於全新世》， 描繪老人蓋沙因外面下着連綿 不絕的雨，坐困家中與外界隔 絕。患有腦退化症的他沉思過 去和現在，試圖弄清年月，拼 命回想事實，並苦苦追憶，尤 其他與已故妻子的婚姻。

「書中他描述了不同的天氣狀 況、山泥傾瀉、暴雨形成新湖 泊，隱喻了許多人承受氣候變 化風險的應對： 我們知道氣候 出現變化，但沒甚麼行動」，梵 德阿說。

演藝世家

改編自文學作品的《水之書》 融合戲劇、錄像及歌劇，巧妙 地將角色一分為二，描繪蓋沙 的腦退化情況： 年長演員提摩 太‧韋斯特飾演現實的蓋沙， 如同錄像片段投射在舞台上的 熒幕； 年輕演員西門‧韋斯特

則在台上扮演蓋沙以自為年輕 的自己。當飾演蓋沙女兒的英 國女高音瑪麗‧貝凡出現在錄 像熒幕，在伊斯美弦樂四重奏 演奏下，三位演員一起出現。

讓兩位演員扮演同一角色，梵 德阿說：「這是以戲劇方式向觀 眾展示角色的內心對話。」這 方式令演出成了一大挑戰。幸 好梵德阿有一張王牌——英國 演員西門‧韋斯特，二人曾經 合作。西門‧韋斯特因參演電 影《此情可問天》(1992)及劇 集《萬物生靈》(2020) 而聞名。 他舞台經驗豐富，也曾多番擔 任戲劇導演。其父提摩太‧韋 斯特現年 88 歲，同樣為舞台及 銀幕明星，在家鄉英國早已享 負盛名。

西門· 韋斯特不曾跟直系親 屬共演一角，「今次與父親合 作，最困難是不去想『他是 我爸爸』。在作品中，他是 我。」他說。

西門‧韋斯特見證母親近年 受腦退化症所困，母親的狀況 亦啟發了他與父親提摩太的演 出，「我媽媽曾經說過『我總是 不知道自己要去哪裏，但我就 是喜歡去那兒』，無論你有沒有 腦退化症，這對任何人來說， 都是一個很好的哲學名題。正 如蓋沙也有些事情總讓他很在 乎——無微不至的女兒、薰衣草

的香氣、陽光的暖意」。

梵德阿提到他早年已希望改編 弗里施的小說，但最近發生的 事，讓這意念浮出水面。「大 約十至十五年前，有人送我這 本書。此書真的震撼了我。我 決定要把它用於作品之中，但 當時沒有具體想法。然後數年 前，我因疫情滯留荷蘭，與朋 友隔絕，感覺和書中的氣氛非 常相似。」

創新精神

他補充說，作品的精心配樂隨 着由廣入深的家庭與個人情感 而變化，映襯起伏不斷的情 緒。「我知道我想用弦樂四重 奏，音樂頗具親密感。添加電 子音樂能延伸弦樂四重奏的聲 音，使演奏更富管弦樂感。」

梵德阿在之前一些作品，探索 如何把錄像運用其中，以及將 預先錄製的音樂與現場演奏的 管弦樂配合。他說：「我起初 只創作音樂會音樂。漸漸發 現有些我想傳達的信息，是無 法單靠音樂完成。有時我的想 法可以用一把小提琴向觀眾展 示，有時則需要十三個屏幕才 能表達。如何把意念向觀眾呈 現，取決於意念本身，而不是 形式。」

A haunting examination of dissolution and disintegration, of both the human mind and the natural landscape, The Book of Water also represents a dazzling example of formal innovation, splicing together theatre, film and music, both chamber and electronic. Composed and directed by the Netherlands’ Michel van der Aa, it will be making its Asian premiere at the 2023 Hong Kong Arts Festival, after making its global debut at the Venice Biennale in September 2022.

Based on Man in the Holocene, a novella by Max Frisch, one of Switzerland’s most celebrated 20th-century writers, The Book of Water revolves around an elderly man, Geiser, who sits inside his home while incessant rain lashes down outside, cutting him off from the world. Suffering from dementia, he contemplates his past and present, trying to make sense of both, and desperately struggles to hold on to both factual information and his memories, especially of his marriage to his late wife.

“He describes different types of weather, landslides happening, new lakes forming due to heavy rainfall,” Van der Aa tells FestMag. “It’s a metaphor for the way a lot of us undergo climate change risks. We know it’s there, but there aren’t so many actions.”

A family affair

A medium-busting mash-up of play, film and opera, adapted from a work of literature, The Book of Water ingeniously portrays Geiser’s mental decline by splitting the role in two: an

older actor (Timothy West) plays Geiser as he is now in a film projection, while a younger actor (Samuel West) appears on stage, playing him at the age he thinks he is. They’re accompanied by string quartet the Esmé Quartet, which appears live on stage, while British soprano Mary Bevan appears in the film, playing Geiser’s daughter.

Using two actors to portray the same character, says Van der Aa, “gave me a theatrical tool to show the audience an internal dialogue”. But it could also have made it quite a challenge to cast the show. Fortunately, Van der Aa had an ace up his sleeve, having previously worked with British actor Samuel West, known for TV and film roles from Howard’s End (1992) to All Creatures Great and Small (2020), who also has a long history in the theatre, including as a director. West’s father, Timothy, aged 88, happens to also be a star of stage and screen, long ubiquitous in his native UK.

Samuel West found it a challenge to play the same character as an immediate family member. “The difficult thing about working with my father on this is not to think ‘That’s my dad’,” he tells FestMag. “In the piece, it’s me.”

Both his and his father’s performances were influenced by the experience of seeing his mother suffer from dementia in recent years, he says. “My mother at one point said, ‘I don’t always know where I’m going but I always enjoy getting there’. It’s a good philosophy for anyone, whether they have dementia or not. Geiser has things that

matter to him: an attentive daughter, the smell of lavender, the warmth of the sun.”

Van der Aa says he had wanted to do something with Frisch’s novel for some time, but recent events brought it to the forefront. “Someone gifted me the book about 10 to 15 years ago and it really struck a nerve. I decided I’d use it for a piece, but I didn’t have a concrete idea. Then a couple of years ago I found myself locked down in the Netherlands, isolated from friends, and it felt like very much the same atmosphere as the book.”

Spirit of innovation

The orchestration of the piece reflects its changing moods, Van der Aa adds, varying from expansive to intensely domestic and personal. “I knew I wanted to use a string quartet. It’s quite intimate. Adding the electronics makes it much more orchestral; it’s always extending the string quartet’s sound.”

Van der Aa has explored the use of film and using recorded music alongside a live orchestra in his several of previous works. “I started with pure concert music,” he says. “Gradually I found I wanted to communicate things that I couldn’t communicate through music alone. Sometimes I have an idea that I can project to the audience with one violin; sometimes it calls for 13 screens. How I am going to bring it to the audience depends on the idea, never the other way round.”

其作品曾在世界各地上演，包 括倫敦巴比肯藝術中心、里昂 歌劇院、柏林藝術節、威尼斯 雙年展、荷蘭藝術節及東京三 得利夏季音樂節。梵德阿自

2011 年起任荷蘭皇家阿姆斯特 丹音樂廳樂團「駐團作曲家」。

2017 年 8 月，他在琉森音樂節 任駐節作曲家。

梵德阿所獲獎項包括 2022 年國 際歌劇大獎最佳數碼歌劇獎，

2015 年維米爾獎（荷蘭國家藝 術獎）及 2013 年葛羅麥耶獎。

Michel van der Aa is a multidisciplinary figure in contemporary music. A unique voice, he combines composition with film and stage direction, and script writing. Classical instruments, voices, electronic sound, actors, theatre and video are all seamless extensions of his musical vocabulary.

Before studying composition with Diderik Wagenaar, Gilius van Bergeijk and Louis Andriessen, van der Aa trained first as a recording engineer at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In 2002 he broadened his skills with studies in film direction at the New York Film Academy and in 2007 he participated in the Lincoln Center Theater Director’s Lab, an intensive course in stage direction.

Van der Aa’s musical materials are hard to tease apart, constantly switching between stasis and high energy, concrete and abstract, acoustic and

electronic, pure and processed, brand new and half-remembered. Many of them are as visual as they are aural. The possibilities of digital and audio-visual technology often feature, not as a surface gloss to his work but at the core of his artistic outlook.

Van der Aa’s imaginative music theatre works include Upload (2019-20), Eight (201819), Blank Out (2015-16), Sunken Garden (2011-12), The Book of Disquiet (2008), After Life (200506) and One (2002). His repertoire also includes concert works and chamber music for small ensemble, soloists and soundtracks, such as his cross-media cello concerto Upclose (2010).

Van der Aa has collaborated with leading classical performers such as Sol Gabetta, Janine Jansen, Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Julia Bullock, Barbara Hannigan and Roderick Williams; the Portuguese fado singer Ana Moura; pop acts Kate MillerHeidke, Wende and These New Puritans; and well-known actors including Klaus Maria Brandauer, Katja Herbers, Ashley Zukerman, Samuel West and Joao Reis.

His work has been featured at the Barbican Centre, Opera de Lyon, the Berliner Festspiele, the Venice Biennale, Donaueschinger Musiktage, the Festival d’Automne à Paris, the LA Philharmonic New Music Series, the Lincoln Centre Festival, the Holland Festival and the Tokyo Suntory Summer

Music Festival. Since 2011, van der Aa has been a “house composer” with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In August 2017, van der Aa was composer-in-residence at the Lucerne Festival.

In 1999 van der Aa became the first Dutch composer to win the prestigious International Gaudeamus Prize. Over the years, his innovative works have earned him numerous awards, including the 2022 International Opera Award for best digital opera, the 2015 Johannes Vermeer Award and the 2013 Grawemeyer Award.
