香港話劇團藝術總監的話 一桌人文盛宴 寰宇文本芳華 「國際黑盒劇場節2016」正式與觀眾見面了！ 「文本霓虹 折射人文光譜」為是次主題，我們旨在為香港觀眾介紹舞台上不同 風格的文本和結構，配合另類劇場形式，為香港話劇團黑盒劇場帶來不一樣的 戲劇風采！ 荷蘭阿姆斯特丹劇團製作的《人聲》作為開幕節目，先在今年四月為觀眾送上 一次經典重現，我們得到觀眾熱烈支持。從比利時導演Ivo van Hove完美演繹， 足見八十年前的經典作品對當下仍有強大的批判功能！ 接下來的五齣劇目，均來自不同地域，也會於今年10月至11月，一連六星期於 本團黑盒劇場內折射獨特的人文光譜。

Performer Studio《鄭和的後代》為香港代表，在導演黃龍斌的率領下，一班香 港演藝學院的畢業生傾力演出。此劇乃新加坡劇場之父郭寶崑先生的經典名 著，黃龍斌抽取文本的重點重新改編，並以形體劇場的方式呈現，既簡潔又活 潑地把歷史人物「鄭和」的遭遇與今天的情景對照，想像力豐富，玩味十足！加上一眾年輕演員的拼搏精神，當中所煥 發的青春火花，令人期待！ 緊接的是臺灣莫比斯圓環創作公社、威爾斯創作人和本團合作的《九面芙烈達》。威爾斯編劇凱特．奧萊莉（ Kaite O’Reilly）以「新文本」的寫作手法，深刻地描寫著名墨西哥女畫家芙烈達‧卡蘿（Frida Kahlo）的遭遇。芙烈達以傳統 彩衣和色彩奪目的一字眉自畫像流芳百世，其畫作是她一生多重身份的抗爭寫照。奧萊莉把芙烈達這些身份割裂開來， 逐一評價，與當代觀眾擦出情感上的強烈聯繫。奧萊莉擅長以不同戲劇體裁編寫傷健人士的故事，今次更會親自來港主 持工作坊和專題講座，真的不容錯過！ 日本著名編劇佃典彥在 2011年首次參觀我們的黑盒劇場，對這個創作空間一見鍾情，更誓言要寫一個新作品在這裡演 出。《朝顏》正是他為劇場節的「別注」創作，亮點更是他親自粉墨登場，與劇団B級遊擊隊的團員一同帶來這個作品。 佃典彥對生活觀察入微，喜歡探討親密關係中種種錯綜複雜的情感，表現手法總帶點魔幻色彩，諷刺現實生活，教人深 思！他亦會來港主持講座，分享他獨特的創作方法！ 《白房間》是香港土方巽舞踏研究場的參節演出，特邀日本舞踏大師和栗由紀夫編寫文本和執導。舞踏演出配合文字創 作，絕對是一次新鮮的嘗試。和栗由紀夫對表演有深層次的研究，之前也來港舉行為期兩天的工作坊，以舞踏訓練加上 文本，讓參加者經歷了一次有關角色理解的旅程。 壓軸作是來自南韓Creative VaQi的《之前之後》，由南韓年輕導演李敬誠與他的團隊集體創作。此劇於去年11月演出後引 起極大迴響，也榮獲不少獎項。李敬誠是近年首爾備受關注的導演之一，也常被邀到國外交流合作。他與其團隊十分關 懷個人和社會的聯繫，作品多以社會議題出發，探討和批判生活中的扭曲現象，觸角敏銳！李敬誠是次將與其創作團隊 一起帶領工作坊，介紹他們獨特的集體創作方法。 走筆至此，我謹代表香港話劇團歡迎並感激參節的本地和海外藝術家，還有本團策劃和執行劇場節各項工作的團員。最 後，我感謝每一位蒞臨欣賞和支持這場人文盛宴的觀眾朋友！希望大家能在黑盒劇場中，享受一連串難忘的舞台體驗！

Message from Artistic Director, HKREP Wonderful scripts from around the globe A colourful feast of humanity The International Black Box Festival 2016 is officially launched!

“The Colours of Humanity” is the theme of this year’s installment. Our mission is to offer Hong Kong audiences different approaches to the dramatic text in a wide range of stage presentations, to provide a breath of fresh air in Hong Kong Repertory Theatre Black Box! As a prelude to the Festival, the Toneelgroep Amsterdam brought La voix humaine, a revival of a classic to which our audience responded enthusiastically. The production, led by Belgian director Ivo van Hove, proves that a repertory work from eight decades ago remains as valid and as critical today.

The following five productions hail from different regions in the world. They are all presented on our stage in October and November.

For six weeks, our Black Box will display a series of unique “colours of humanity”.

Performer Studio’s Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral is the Hong Kong entry for this Festival. Under the leadership of Tony Wong, it features a cast of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts graduates. This work is a masterpiece by the forefather of Singapore theatre, Kuo Pao-kun. Wong extracted the most important parts of the script and adapted it anew, adding choreographed movements into the presentation, depicting the historical figure Zheng He and his travails in a minimal yet lively way that relates to our contemporary world. It is an imaginative work that has many a twist! Along with the dedication of a cast of young actors, there is much to look forward to in this production!

Following closely is Taiwan’s Möbius Strip Theatre’s collaborative project with Welsh artists as well as Hong Kong Repertory Theatre.

The 9 fridas is the work of playwright Kaite O’Reilly with a totally new approach to “text” as she chronicles the life of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, whose vibrant costumes and iconic eyebrows distinguished her, and whose paintings represent the challenges of her many roles in life. O’Reilly elects to present Kahlo’s portrait in many fragments, connecting each facet with audiences today. Renowned for her depiction of human difference and disability, O’Reilly will also conduct a workshop and a lecture under the auspices of our Festival.

These are opportunities not to be missed!

In 2011, celebrated playwright Tsukuda Norihiko visited our Black Box and fell in love with it, vowing he would write a new work specifically for this venue. Asagao is specially written for us, and the playwright will also appear on stage along with his cast from the BKYUYUGEKITAI Theatre Company. Tsukuda is a keen observer of how people live and the complexities of intimate relationships. His dramatic treatments always include elements of magic as a way to deliver provocative commentaries on real life. During the Festival, he will also speak about his work at a talk session.

White Room is presented by Hong Kong’s own White Room Research Collective; it is a work created and directed by Waguri Yukio, combining Butoh and text. Waguri is a performer who has based his art on painstaking research. Prior to this Festival, he travelled to Hong Kong to host a two-day workshop, training participants not only in Butoh but also in working with the text as they embark on their journeys in exploring characters.

Our final production is Creative VaQi’s Before After, a work collectively created by South Korean director Kyung-sung Lee and his company of actors. After its premiere last November, Before After received numerous accolades. Lee is among the most sought after directors in Seoul in recent years; he has been invited abroad many times. To Lee and his team, the connection between the individual and society is key to their art. Their works are often inspired by social issues, as they investigate how contemporary life has become unhinged. Lee and his cast will lead a workshop outlining their collaborative process.

On behalf of Hong Kong Repertory Theatre, I want to extend a warm welcome to local and overseas artists who participate in the International Black Box Festival 2016. I must also thank our colleagues involved in the planning and execution of the Festival’s many productions and events. Last but not least, I am grateful to everyone entering our theatre to share and support “the colours of humanity”! You will have unforgettable experiences in our Black Box!

Performer Studio 簡 介 About Performer Studio

使命 Performer Studio認為表演者是把自己獨特的生活經驗融入舞台演出，而表演者亦需要透過身體和演技作為首要媒體與觀 眾溝通。若他們未有一種最好的方法去表達訊息，他們會自行創造一種。Performer Studio的表演者應該擁有全面多元的 表演技巧。

歷史 Performer Studio是香港的多元劇場，於2010年由黃龍斌成立。它的特點是清楚而不隱藏地把信息展示於舞台，而其命 題多集中於社會政治議題。劇作常會挑戰舞蹈、形體和演技的可能性，於當中找出適合呈現信息的表達方式，從而結合戲 劇、舞蹈、視覺錄像和文字於其演出。劇團演出包括：《單身大晒》、《單身大晒》（晒命版）及《真話》。黃龍斌憑 《單身大晒》（晒命版）獲第二十一屆香港舞台劇獎最佳男主角提名。

Mission Statement Performer Studio began with a belief that each performer should bring his or her unique life experiences to the stage.

Performers incorporate any movement and acting skills that speak to the audience. If the perfect method doesn’t exist, they invent one. Performer Studio’s performers should have versatile performing skills on stage.

History Performer Studio is a multi-theatres company based in Hong Kong. It was officially founded in 2010 by Tony Wong.

It is characterized by the desire to communicate ideas and feeling clearly and unpretentiously, often with a focus on socio-political issues. The work challenges the limitations of dance, movement and acting by using any means necessary to find the most appropriate way to say something, thereby incorporating element of theatre, dance, video and text.

Performer Studio has produced three works for the stage, Singlology (premiere and rerun), Invincible Truth. Tong Wong has been nominated for Best Actor for Singlology (rerun) at the 21st Hong Kong Drama Awards.

Performer Studio 的 話

我曾排練過兩個不同版本的《鄭和的後代》，第一次是與新加坡拉薩爾藝術學院（LASALLE College of the Arts）的 學生一同排演，第二次是香港演藝學院的校內製作。因文化背景和社會的經歷不同，兩次演出的分別也很大。後者 排練期間正值雨傘運動，對郭寶崑老師寫下的自閹與被閹這個命題，一班年輕學生是充滿著激情、自覺、盼望的情 感去排演。 很喜愛郭老師這個劇本，當然他的《棺材太大洞太小》和《單日不可停車》也很愛。但《鄭和》確實寫得太好太 妙。在戲裡，郭老師不是要描寫鄭和的一生，而是藉他這位閹人作為一個符號。閹人本身是不會有後代的，但偏偏 他在戲中既有後代，更意味著是我們這一代不分種族背景的現代人。我們是否與他一樣自閹和被閹割著呢？這正是 郭老師在此劇探討的議題。俄國劇作家契訶夫曾說：「藝術家的作品是必須和社會有聯繫的。」這句話，每當我創 作時也常常提醒自己，因若不然，其過程便會缺乏生命和成長。 很高興香港話劇團邀請我排演第三次的《鄭和》。今次對我有著多重意義。因專注於教學，Performer Studio已有五 年多的時間沒有演出作品，今次的演員全是近三屆的畢業生，第一天的排練我和他們說：「終於再見面了！」很開 心再看見他們成長的另一階段，當然今次對比那次校內演出，我對他們在表演上的要求會更多。第二，香港經過雨 傘運動後，我們的社會確實出現了很多聲音，很多事也容易走向政治化。而這班年輕演員沒有了當時的那份情感， 是的，他們正在轉變著。有些感受沉澱了，或許成長了，或許更迷失。也許選擇逃避，也許找不到方向，也許失去 一份信任。這正是今次排練的挑戰，有機會再一次走到郭老師的劇本，看看他描寫的世界是怎樣的。 最後，多謝香港話劇團的邀請，多謝馮蔚衡、香港演藝學院戲劇學院院長薛卓朗教授和一班後台的工作人員。 黃龍斌 《鄭和的後代》導演

Message from Performer Studio

I’ve been involved in two productions of Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral, the first with students at Singapore’s LASALLE College of the Arts, the second at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. Because of differences in cultural background and social context, these two productions were markedly dissimilar. We were rehearsing the latter at the height of Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement. During that time, young students threw themselves into the production fired with passion, self-awareness and expectation as they studied Kuo Pao-kun’s script on castration and self-castration.

I love Kuo’s script. I also love his other scripts, such as The Coffin is Too Big for the Hole and No Parking on Odd Days.

But Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral is marvellous. In this play, Kuo doesn’t set out to chronicle the life of Zheng He. Instead, he utilises the castrated Zheng as a metaphor. A castrated man cannot have offspring, yet in this play Zheng has descendants, alluding to our generation of modern men regardless of race and background. Do we suffer the same predicament as Zheng, being castrated and castrating ourselves? This is exactly Kuo’s question. Chekhov once said, “An artist’s work must be connected with society.” I always remind myself that in my work, without such a connection, everything loses its vitality and potential for growth.

I’m delighted that Hong Kong Repertory Theatre has invited me to direct Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral, my third production of this play. This opportunity is really meaningful to me. I’ve been devoting much energy in teaching; it has been more than five years since Performer Studio put together a production. My cast hails from the last three graduating classes of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. The day when we began rehearsals, I greeted them by saying, “At last, we reunite!” I was thrilled to witness their growth since their student years, but obviously my demands on their performance have also grown. Secondly, it has been two years since the Umbrella Movement; new voices and opinions have arisen in Hong Kong in the interim. Today, almost everything has become politicised. These actors no longer retain their youthful passions. Inevitably, they are changing. Feelings are settled, perhaps they have matured, or they are lost.

Perhaps they opt for avoidance, they cannot find a direction, or they’ve lost their trust. This is precisely the challenge of rehearsing the play today: to experience the world that is the script of Kuo Pao-kun.

Finally, I am grateful to the invitation of Hong Kong Repertory Theatre and to Fung Wai Hang, to HKAPA’s Dean of the School of Drama Professor Ceri Sherlock as well as to all of the production staff who work tirelessly away from the limelight.

面對大海，鄭和尋覓的是什麼？面對大時代的變遷，我們 如何自處？ “…the more I discover, the more I am convinced that we were related, that I had to be a descendant of the Eunuch Admiral.”

A powerful work about castration and politics, Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral recounts the legacy of the man responsible for China’s most extensive maritime expeditions in the 15th century, the legendary eunuch, Admiral Zheng He. Using the metaphor of castration, parallels are drawn between the power struggles of court eunuchs and the displacement of modern human beings who make sacrifices in their lives in order to survive in the highly competitive and industrious society.

What was Zheng He searching from the sea? What do we desire from our position in society?

編劇

郭寶崑

郭寶崑先生誕生於中國河北一貧困的農村，之後被帶到北京，再往大都會香 港，1949年又到了多元文化的新加坡，後又遠赴地域廣闊的澳洲，最後回 到新加坡定居。這就是已故新加坡戲劇大師郭寶崑先生一生的動盪生活。而 正是這樣的生活豐富了郭寶崑先生的人生體驗，也同時啟迪他的靈感。多元 的文化激奮了他，從而造就了一顆充滿包容的創作心靈。 郭寶崑先生與妻子吳麗娟女士於65年聯手創辦了新加坡表演藝術學院（即 後來的實踐表演藝術學院），著手推廣戲劇與舞蹈，也開始在新加坡文化發 展方面打下了根基。86年新加坡首個雙語劇團 — 實踐話劇團成立（現為 實踐劇場）。 89年，創辦新加坡第一個民間多元藝術、多元文化的藝術中 心 — 電力站藝術之家，並任其藝術總監至95年。2000年規劃開辦以表演 為中心，著重實踐的三年全日制「劇場訓練與研究課程」（現為跨文化戲劇 學院）。 76 年 3 月郭寶崑先生在內政安全法令下未經審判被逮捕。 77 年被剝奪公民 權。80年10月在居住和旅行的限制條件下獲釋。92年重新獲得公民權。 郭寶崑先生於90年獲頒新加坡文化獎（戲劇），92年獲新加坡日本工商總會新加坡基金頒發文化獎，93年榮獲亞細 安文化獎，97年再獲頒法國國家文學騎士勳章，02年榮獲新加坡卓越貢獻獎。 身為新加坡戲劇開創先鋒，郭寶崑先生四十多年的戲劇創作歷程，果實纍纍，影響新加坡戲劇界好幾代的人。除年 來孜孜不倦的劇本創作之外，他還從事寫作、翻譯、改編劇本的工作，並執導過無數的劇本。82年，新加坡十四個 華語劇團史無前例地大聯合，呈獻了郭寶崑先生創作並導演的《小白船》一劇。 在郭寶崑先生的創作劇本中，《棺材太大洞太小》影響甚是深遠，除多次出國巡迴表演之外，更在本地引起巨大迴 響，這個劇作現已成為部分學校的英文教材。 《傻姑娘與怪老樹》更是一個膾炙人口的演出，同時也培育了新一代戲劇人才；《尋找小貓的媽媽》是多元化的創 作，充分顯露了郭寶崑先生在文化融合上的敏感與細緻；《老九》、《鄭和的後代》都在當時引起了廣泛的討論， 《鄭和的後代》劇作題材更引起了震撼。另外，還曾經創作電視劇集《阿公肉骨茶》。 郭寶崑先生於02年9月10日病逝新加坡，新加坡文藝界痛失導師，更留給人們無止境的懷念與哀思。 人們把郭寶崑先生視為一個具有歷史意識和文化視野的公共知識分子。他在世時，通過教學、各種文化藝術活動 等，建構並展現了自己的文化觀和人文觀。不僅影響了戲劇界人士，也影響了各源流、各領域的知識分子（不分年 齡或海內外），甚至於一些領導精英。

Playwright

Kuo Pao-kun

Kuo Pao-kun was born in a poor farming village in Hebei, China. At a tender age, he moved to Beijing and then to cosmopolitan Hong Kong. In 1949, he moved south again, this time to multi-ethnic Singapore. Subsequently, he explored the vastness of Australia and after graduating from the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney, he returned to settle in Singapore. This is the journey of one man’s life, where the inflections of his journey are not lost upon the influence of his work, and where the varied experience of diverse cultures has shaped and inspired a unique and inimitable vision of creativity.

In 1965, Kuo Pao-kun and choreographer Goh Lay-kuan founded Practice Performing Arts School, introducing the idea of performing arts education in Singapore, laying the initial foundation for a future arts scene. In 1986, Kuo founded Singapore’s first bilingual theatre company, The Theatre Practice. He founded The Substation - A Home for the Arts, Singapore’s first arts centre, in 1989 and remained its Artistic Director until 1995. In 2000 Kuo initiated a full-time, three-year, performer-centred, practice-oriented programme, the Theatre Training and Research Programme.

In March 1976, Kuo was detained without trial by the Singapore government under the Internal Security Act. In 1977, his citizenship was rescinded by the government. In October 1980, he was released from detention with imposed conditions restricting residence and travel. In 1992, his Singapore citizenship was reinstated.

In 1990, Kuo received the Cultural Medallion, the highest local award bestowed upon an artist in Singapore. In 1992, he received the Culture Award from the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In 1993, and also the ASEAN Culture Award (Performing Arts), and in 1997, he was knighted Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres by the French government. He also received the Excellence for Singapore Award in 2002.

Arguably the father of Singapore Theatre, Kuo’s 40 years of dedication and kindling of local theatre has been an influence to generations of artistes and practitioners. Aside from scripts, Kuo has also written books, adapted scripts, and directed innumerable plays. In 1982, 14 of Singapore’s Chinese-language theatre companies collaborated on The Little White Sailing Boat, which Kuo wrote and directed.

Among his works, The Coffin is Too Big for the Hole is his best known. It has been adapted and translated by local and international theatre groups. This play has also been incorporated by schools as teaching material.

The Silly Little Girl and the Funny Old Tree is another popular work known for nurturing new generations of dramatic talents. Mama Looking for her Cat is a multi-lingual work attesting to Kuo’s sensitivity to the fusion of different cultures.

Lao Jiu and Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral garnered attention at their premieres. The subject matter of Descendants of the Eunuch Admiral also caused a stir when it was first produced. Kuo also wrote an original screenplay for the film Grandpa’s Meat Bone Tea. Kuo Pao-kun passed away in Singapore on 10th September 2002, creating an irreplaceable absence in the theatre and cultural scene, as well as in the hearts of many who loved, admired and respected the man and his legacy.

He was widely recognised as a public intellectual with an acute sense of historical consciousness and cultural vision.

During his life, he taught and participated in the cultural and performing arts scene, creating and developing his own unique and humane world view. Not only did he affect theatre practitioners, but he also touched and inspired intellectuals and leaders beyond the theatre arts around the world.
