Gypsy queen reborn

A Spanish director's 'Carmen' looks all set to dance her way to our hearts, with the help of SAWs four-legged star. Kevin

Ng writes about the flamenco spectacle with a twist H K Standard

4 March, 2000

‘ ■ 1 HERE is certainly more to the Spanish flamenco JL spectacle Carmen, to be presented this weekend

by La Cuadra de Sevilla, than its unusual star being promoted by the Hong Kong Arts Festival - a white horse.

A local talent, the horse has been chosen from the Tai Tong Riding School in Yuen Long.

Needless to say, the prized horse has been undergoing training sessions for several months. The company’s trainer arrived form Spain last week for the final round of rehearsals even though the 46-strong flamenco company only flew in on Wednesday. The ensemble comprises three singers, seven dancers, and 24 musicians.

On Thursday morning, at the Cultural Centre, I spoke to the three most important personalities behind Carmen - its director Salvador Tavora and stars Lalo Tejada and Marco Vargas, who play Carmen and Don Jose. Tour manager Liliane Drillon acted as our interpreter.

Tavora, an ex-flamenco singer, has been the company’s director since 1971. The artiste is also responsible for choreography, set designs and part of the music.

This Carmen, created in 1996, is his 12th and most recent work for the company, which has toured 30 countries.

10

Box office revenue, both in Spain and overseas, is the major source of income for La Cuadra de Sevilla, a private arts troupe. After Hong Kong, it will perform in Mexico, Holland, Bogata, Australia and Japan.

The Hong Kong audience would no doubt associate Carmen with Bizet’s famous French opera based on Merimee’s libretto. I asked Tavora how different his show was from the French production.

"In my show, the story is only briefly narrated through flamenco singing . And because it was impossible to have a real bullfight on stage, the scenes have been enacted by a horse as part of the dancing routine."

Tavora added that he had always felt the need to re-examine the Carmen myth. He said Carmen had been seen throughout the world from the point of view of the French; a vision of gypsies set against Andalusian background in early-19th century Spain.

"There have been many other versions of Carmen,

which have taken a cold and purely artistic view, and merely treated us Andalusians as observers," Tavora said.

"They are not really a part of us, and we are constantly having to put up with the frivolous folklore associated with this myth."

Tavora said he had been researching historical documents to get down to the roots of Carmen.

"The exercise has reaffirmed my belief that the story has to be rediscovered and remade, bringing it closer to the anecdotes that our grandmothers told us about this era in Seville. My production is far more Andalusian in feeling.

"In last year’s French May Festival, I remember the ballerina from Lyons Opera Ballet, gave us an unusually "masculine” Carmen, more masculine in fact than her lover Don Jose. She even smoked a cigar at one point.

"My Carmen is the prototype of a new female working class, made up of independent women, who are not subjected to a man's authority. As a cigarettemaker for the Seville Tobacco Factory, she has status."

Lalo Tejada, previously a dancer with the worldfamous Antonio Gades Flamenco Company, appears to be Tavora's ideal Carmen, with her long flowing raven hair. In one scene she even dances with the horse.

Speaking about her "interesting partnership” with the horse, she said: "I rehearsed with the horse this morning. It was fine, no problem at all.”

Her co-star, the handsome Marco Vargas, was previously with Mario Mayo’s flamenco company.

Vargas plays Don Jose, the Basque soldier who saves the gypsy Carmen from arrest and falls in love with her. The early 19th century Seville isn't particularly sympathetic to the lovers. Jose's love turns to jealousy when Carmen abandons him for a famous picador. He stabs her in the end.

So, what next?

"The legend of Don Juan. This will be premiered at a festival in Catalunia in July,” Tavora said.

But for the meantime, his busy putting the final touches to Carmen.

"I look forward to doing some sightseeing in Hong Kong after our first night here!" he said.

C>

---- 伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團周內訪港演出 九三年四月底彼德•賴特(Peter Wright)率領正式易 $名為伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團(前稱作莎拉惠斯皇家芭蕾

舞團)的演出大隊訪港後，一別七載，本周內該團應邀重 臨，推出的兩幕舞潮《愛德華二世》(Edward II) •不但將 為本地觀幂帶來震撼性的觀賞視野 ，更讓舞迷有機會全面 檢閱舞團在第二任藝術總監兼編舞家大術 •賓利(David Bintley)的領導下，編舞水平及演員陣容所具備的雄厚實 力。

12

被視為是弗德烈.艾斯頓和肯尼夫•麥美倫兩位已故 英國編舞大師接班人的大術.賓利，現年四十三歲，九五 年九月接掌伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團，並身兼舞團編導的重 任。他每年皆替舞團度身創作短篇及長篇劇目，又經常排 演其備受讚賞的舊作。 大術•賓利風格多變化 賓利的長篇舞劇《霍布森的抉擇》(Hobson, s Choice)、 《雪國皇后》(The Snow Queen)、《遠離那使人惱火的群眾》 (Far From the Maddening Crowd)、《愛德華二世》等叫好 又叫座，早成了伯明翰家芭蕾舞團的拿手好戲 。 他的獨幕舞劇《企鵝茶居》(「Still Life」at the Penguin Cafe)深受觀幂歡迎，兩年前香港芭蕾舞團還特地請賓利來 港把它搬上本地舞台，大家對贫劇開朗活潑的調子，生趣 盎然、活力充沛的氣氛，相信印象猶新。 然而，這回公演的《愛德華二世》，無論題材、氣氛 效果、動律設計或探索的命題等各方面，均與《企鵝茶居》 的表現手法截然不同。 舞劇《愛德華二世》取材自十六世紀英國作家克里斯 托弗.馬洛(Christopher Marlowe)的同名劇作，述説十四 世紀大英王朝一段黑暗混亂的歷史。該劇原於九五年由德 國史圖加芭蕾舞團首演，大術•賓利在場刊內清楚地闡明 了他再現該段歷史悲劇的目的與反思： 「十四世紀是一個充滿暴力、折磨、苦難和瘋狂的時 代，至今為止歷史上沒有再出現過這樣的悲劇。那是經濟 的災難、社會的動亂、宗敖的狂熱、致命的瘟.疫、狂暴的 民族主義、不息的戰火和暴力與強權政治等種種因素造成 的悲劇。但二十世紀發生的一些事件，使我們不禁回憶起 過去的黑暗年代，回憶起中世紀的暴力和苦難。」 《愛》劇描寫邪惡肆虐

「馬洛根據愛德華二世的生平編寫的這個劇本(內容描 述自一三零七年至一三三零年間二十多年的歷史變 遷)……改變了人們的傳統觀念和道德準則，使我們如同 觀看所有偉大的悲劇時一樣，對暴力和邪惡的肆虐無能為 力。這場悲劇利用人們過度的脆弱，將美好的一切踐踏入 萬劫不復的深淵……」 「六百年後，我們從此劇中所感受到的不僅是那整個社 會互相殘害、令人恐懼的時代，而且還感受到一個男人極 為可悲的處境---- 在他出生的那個時代，他的個人自由和 社會地主都被剝奪殆盡。」 驟眼看，這個舞劇揹負了歷史包祇，悲劇感非常凝重 蓽H肢體語言述説如此繁複的情節，體現概括面廣、深層 意義沉重的思想主題，一般兩幕舞劇所開展的空間及涵蓋 的範園似乎不勝負荷。 事實證明，大術•賓利過人之處正在於他的獨具專 長•能把極之複雜的故事、意念或哲理化之為舞蹈，以具 體形象的手法轉化得清晰易懂。他曾揚言.觀眾進場時只 管細心欣賞台上展現的一切•即能明瞭箇中的來龍去脈。

「我偏愛把综錯交織及不可能實踐的理念轉化成舞蹈演 出，我關注申述真正的情節，而不是附加的裝飾品。」大

術上次跟我對談時強調説。為了刺激觀幂前來看舞團的表 演，他近年決意在一己的創作中灌注某些強勁且能激發大 家想像力的意念或展示強而有力的主題內容：《愛德華二 世》便是他其中一齣按照上述創作原則編排的敘事性劇 目。 三組演員各有特色 可以想像，《愛德華二世》長約兩小時的演出，匯聚 的諸種情緒將是何等的壓縮密集，反差對比又將是何等的 尖鋭骇人！ 劇中主要人物分别由三組首席演員輪流擔演 ，可見舞 團人才濟濟。飾演愛德華二世的男演員包括：沃爾夫剛• 斯托爾威齊爾(Wolfgang Stollwitzer)(三月九日■十一日日 場)、飢文•奥黑爾(Kevin O' Hare)(三月十日及十二日) 及羅拔•帕克(Robert Parker)(三月十一日夜場)。扮演依 莎貝拉皇后的女演員計有：薩拜娜•倫兹(Sabrina Lenzi) (三月九日，十一日日場)、利蒂希亞•米勒(Leticia Muller)(三月十日及十二日)和莫媚•卡.贊姆娜(Monica Zamora)(三月十一日夜場)。 三對招•稽中，以沃爾夫剛.斯托爾威齊爾和弦拜娜 • 倫兹這一組最矚目•因他倆正是此舞劇首演時的扮演者， 大術•賓利特別給二人創作排演了愛德華二世與依莎貝拉 皇后的角色。這兩位原為史圖加芭蕾舞團的首席演員，演 畢《愛德華二世》後，雙雙追隨大術•賓利轉投伯明翰皇 家芭蕾舞團。 斯托爾威齊爾早於九()年香港藝術節舉行期間隨史圖 加芭蕾舞團訪港演出《尤金•奥涅金》，他是四組主要演 員之一，除扮演奧涅金外，還飾演第二主角連斯基。此 外，九六年初，他再度隨史圖加舞團臨港演出瑪茜•海帶 排演的《睡美人》中迪西亞王子的角色。斯托爾威齊爾外 型俊朗，基本功全面紫實，演繹角色富感染力和表達力， 是位別具個人風範的優秀演員。 薩拜娜•倫兹九0年亦曾隨史圖加舞團來港，擔演奥 爾加的角色。倫兹生於羅馬，在蒙地卡羅習舞，八四年加 盟史圖加芭蕾舞團，九四年晉升為主要演員。不少國際知 名的編舞家，如依利•基利安、約翰.紐邁亞、麥斯•艾 克、莫里斯•比才特、范曼農等皆曾给她編排創作獨特的 舞作。她九五年加入伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團。 凱文•奧黑爾和羅拔•帕克均為英國皇家芭蕾舞學校 的高材生，前者原為莎拉惠斯皇家芭蕾舞團的主要演員 ， 九三年亦曾隨伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團來港演出 《羅密歐與茱 麗葉》；後者九四年方加盟伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團，去年更 被擢升為主要演員。 六十人樂隊掮手演出 於德國出生的利蒂希亞.米勒九五年加入伯明翰皇家 芭蕾舞團.大術.賓利曾專門替她編排了 《遠離那使人惱 火的群眾J中女主角芭芙舒芭的角色。 莫妮卡.贊姆娜生於西班牙，原為莎拉惠斯皇家芭蕾 舞團的演員，九一年加入伯明翰皇家芭蕾舞團，九七年晉 升為主要演員。值得一提的還有這次舞團將帶同自己的六 十人交響樂隊前來，現場演奏作曲家約翰•麥凱布(John McCabe)專誠替此舞劇撰寫的配樂.使得整個演出製作更 顯完整。 文：剴玉華
