Curatorial Statement
The biannual International Black Box Festival will now be renamed the Hong Kong International Black Box Festival and it marks the first of many collaborations between the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre and West Kowloon Cultural District. Together, we believe in curating the best and brightest of the contemporary theatre scene from around the world for Hong Kong’s audiences. This edition is an invitation for you to spend a moment of disruption with us as a response to the world we live in today. Our world today is one of war and hatred, ruled by fear and misinformation. A scenario that ironically conditions us to absolve our agency by simply clicking a like, a share on Facebook or Twitter. This situation also blurs the lines between what is real and what is fiction. But then, what is real? The presentation and representation of the real in theatre is always a problematic one as Walter Benjamin discusses in his essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Perhaps the consumption of such absolutes is less important than the need to specifically address the returning of agency to audiences in the theatre. The projects that we have curated for this festival invite us, the audience, to be aware of our agency. Your life experiences, your intellectual, moral and emotional compasses that you imbue with these performances will complete them. Hence, they encourage you to question the process of Becoming Real. This encounter, however, is not about what is and what is not, but rather, it tests our limits of what we think we know and questions our reading of the everyday. We begin the festival with a special performance called One Fine Day by Beijing director Li Jianjun. Working with 19 individuals of varied cultural, social and ethnic backgrounds from Hong Kong, the audience will encounter their stories as told by the subjects themselves. Almost like a voyeur, you listen in on their stories told ”live” through selecting the appropriate channel on your radio set. You are instantly made aware of your role as you engage in this deliberate act of consuming these ”real” stories, real lives. In week two, we invite you to enter the world of Silvia
Calderoni in a piece titled MDLSX by critically acclaimed Italian company Motus. Beyond the currency of labels such as transgender, cisgender, gender fluid, etc. The experience of meeting Calderoni blurs the lines between fact and fiction, one that pushes the limitations of identity structures transcending into actual living. MDLSX is a post-punk rollercoaster ride that explodes our conceptions of gender identities and difficulties in going beyond such labels. The third piece by Australian performance company post, will introduce their unique brand of humour, live art and theatre in collaboration with artists from Hong Kong for the first time. The Cantonese version of their riotous Oedipus Schmoedipus will have its world premiere this autumn. In this piece, they challenge our conceptions of death as told by the Great White Man so pervasive in our theatrical canon. For them, “death belongs to everyone” and hence, 25 volunteer are invited for each performance date to playact their best dying sequences through a hysterical journey of “sly postmodern commentary” on the coloniser and the colonised. We close the festival with Five Easy Pieces by Milo Rau/ International Institute of Political Murder/CAMPO. A theatrical triumph at festivals the world over, the piece is a sharp investigation on being someone else on stage. Working with children under 13 years old, they perform the life of child killer Marc Dutroux using testimonies, trial documents, and interviews. This (re)presentation by these young performers probes the limits of the possibility of what children know, feel and do. This experience brings to the fore our own fears, taboos and morality, an intervention that wakes us from our ethical slumber conditioned by the everyday of our today. So we invite you to come and be a little uncomfortable with us, to take a moment and engage in this disruption of your everyday. Hopefully, you will leave the theatre transformed, energized with a renewed sense of agency and know that you can and must do something about it. See you at the festival!

CAMPO簡介 About CAMPO 位於比利時根特的CAMPO藝術中心邀約Milo Rau與國際政治謀殺學院進行創作，以回應CAMPO一系列以兒童為演員的作品， 並創作了《五段小品》。這一系列作品從上世紀九十年代Alain Platel 和Arne Sierens的Moeder & Kind 、Bernadetje與Allemaal Indiaan開始；以至近年Josse De Pauw的üBUNG、Tim Etchells的That Night Follows Day與Gob Squad的Before Your Very Eyes；還有Jan Martens與Peter Seynaeve的VICTOR和Philippe Quesne的Next Day。 除了以上作品，CAMPO亦與不同藝術家長期合作，包括：Sarah Vanhee、Pieter Ampe、Florentina Holzinger、Julian Hetzel、 Jaha Koo、Robbert&Frank Frank&Robbert和Louis Vanhaverbeke，銳意安排年輕藝術家與資深藝術家共同創作，並將他們的 作品從布魯塞爾至新加坡帶到世界各地巡演。除此以外，CAMPO亦為需要排練場地、技術專業知識或製作支援的藝術家提供協 助。 CAMPO藝術中心主辦多種類型的節目 ― 包括國內及國際團隊所帶來的話劇及舞蹈演出，以至特備節目、藝術節與即興藝術， 如Mayday Mayday Festival、CAMPO passeert與Neighborhood Kitchen，為觀衆與藝術家的交流打開大門。 In response to the invitation of arts centre CAMPO (Ghent, Belgium) to create a new play in the series of theatrical works with children, Milo Rau and IIPM create Five Easy Pieces. Remember the 90’s with Moeder en Kind, Bernadetje en Allemaal Indiaan by Alain Platel and Arne Sierens, the more recent trilogy üBUNG by Josse De Pauw, That Night Follows Day by Tim Etchells and Before Your Very Eyes by Gob Squad, or the duet VICTOR by Jan Martens and Peter Seynaeve, and Next Day by Philippe Quesne. Alongside this tradition of performances with children on stage, CAMPO sets up long term trajectories with different artists, such as Sarah Vanhee, Pieter Ampe, Florentina Holzinger, Julian Hetzel, Jaha Koo, Robbert&Frank Frank&Robbert, or Louis Vanhaverbeke, always with a focus on young artists, next to renowned names. The arts centre tours the world with their creations, from Brussels to Singapore. Besides that, artists in search of a rehearsal studio, technical expertise or productional support are equally welcome. In Ghent, CAMPO presents a varied programme, from theatre, performance and dance from (inter)national companies, to events, festivals and happenings as Mayday Mayday Festival, CAMPO passeert or the Neighbourhood Kitchen, thus opening their doors for unexpected encounters between audience and artists.

國際政治謀殺學院簡介 About International Institute of Political Murder 國際政治謀殺學院（IIPM）由瑞士劇場與電影導演Milo Rau於2007年創辦，以獨特的紀錄文獻形式，配合多媒體的表現手法，創 作政治劇場，呈現歷史或社會衝突，在國際劇壇廣受注目及讚譽。劇場 / 電影作品The Last Days of the Ceausescus（2009/10） 重現羅馬尼亞獨裁者壽西斯古與他夫人的審訊；Hate Radio（2011）深入探討1994年盧旺達種族滅絕期間，RTLM電台所扮演的 角色；The Civil Wars（2014）反映造反與政治參與這些大前提，並緊扣演員各自的身世。13年製作的The Moscow Trials與The Zurich Trials奠定了Milo Rau的劇場審訊模式：在The Moscow Trials中，藝術家與策展人反對法庭的裁判，堅持為藝術爭取自由； 在The Zurich Trials中，右翼組織被控種族歧視。15年，IIPM繼續這個方向，在《剛果裁決》中處理三宗大屠殺與大迫遷的歷史。 近期作品Compassion. The History of the Machine Gun以兩段獨白探討非政府組織在歐洲難民政策與非洲中部種族滅絕背景下的 工作，在柏林Schaubühne劇院首演。 過去幾年，IIPM主力研究與開展三種不同演繹模式，全都呈現在《五段小品》中。 The International Institute of Political Murder (IIPM) was founded by the Swiss theatre and film director Milo Rau in 2007 and got soon internationally acclaimed for its unique, dense documentary form of political theatre with a special focus on multimedia adaptation of historical or social conflicts. The theatre-/film project The Last Days of the Ceausescus (2009/10) re-enacted the show trial against the Romanian dictator couple Ceausescu while the theatre project Hate Radio (2011) focussed on the role of the broadcasting station RTLM in the genocide in Ruanda 1994 and The Civil Wars (2014) reflected on the premises of revolt and political engagement along the personal biographies of the actors. With The Moscow Trials and The Zurich Trials (both 2013) Milo Rau developed the model of theatrical trials: While in Moscow artists and curators fought for the freedom of art that was refused by the real courts, in Zurich a right-wing was accused of racial discrimination. In 2015 the IIPM continued with this approach by processing three cases of mass murder and displacement with The Congo Tribunal. The latest work of IIPM is Compassion. The History of the Machine Gun, a double monologue on the work of NGOs, related to European refugee politics and the genocides in central Africa, which premiered at Schaubühne Berlin. Over the past few years, IIPM has primarily researched and developed three formats which will be referred on in Five Easy Pieces.

導演訪問 An interview with Milo Rau by dramaturgy Stefan Bläske CAMPO起用兒童演員的製作在國際間備受讚賞，多年來到各地巡演。這一次，是CAMPO繼Tim Etchells、Gob Squad與 Philippe Quesne後邀請你攜手合作，是什麽令你起用兒童演員？ Rau： CAMPO刻意地邀請不慣常起用兒童演員的藝術家合作。我必須承認，在這一系列作品之中，我肯定是最奇怪的選擇。我們
曾經在不同國家和領域與業餘以及著名的職業演員合作，當中亦包括連環殺手與身份非常敏感的人物，並在戰場上的臨時
場地及政府資助的劇院演出。我們曾經改編過經典作品、創作敍事劇場、以劇場方式重現著名審訊，但從未試過跟兒童合
作。就像其他項目一樣，我們為有新的挑戰而感到興奮，所以決定接受這個新嘗試。
俗語說「兒童與愚人都不撒謊」，所以當提到「兒童劇場」，我們會自然地聯想到簡單及真實的表演手法。 Rau： 你說得對。在我們的前期研究之中，明顯地發現兒童參與的劇作都遵循著相同的模式，題材涉及對未來的憧憬、成人世界
的荒謬、真實性，還有童話式詩句。它們或會講述某些奇異的生活故事，並加添排練好的音樂，在舞台上表現出童真。可
是我們的宗旨很清晰，我們希望有一個截然不同的嘗試。我們要展現一些觀衆不願意從兒童身上看得到的事物。《五段小
品》這個由兒童演出的劇場作品需要有冒險精神，並且是史無前例，令人看似是不可能完成的。
作品的靈感源自Dutroux事件。Dutroux猥褻兒童，被視為罪惡的象徵，他應該是比利時人最憎恨的人物。你在研究過程中還發 現到什麽，在舞台又如何塑造他？有否考慮過讓他為自己發聲？ Rau： 2013年，我在比利時研究The Civil Wars一劇的時候，認識了Dutroux這個傳奇人物。排練期間，我曾詢問演員，他們心目
中的比利時是怎樣的，大家在何時開始對比利時產生歸屬感。然而，比利時是一個文化分裂的國家，是為了成為法國與德
國兩地的緩衝區而於十九世紀立國，國家的分歧一直都沒有修補過來。那些演員的答案是1996年發生的「白色遊行」，也
就是比利時人針對Dutroux事件集體反對政府，上街示威的時候。
Dutroux真的是比利時唯一的「集體傳奇」嗎？ Rau： 這雖然令人憂慮，但看起來卻是真的。如果你深入一點看，肯定會發現很多兩者之間可對讀之處：Dutroux在前比利時
10
殖民地剛果長大，他犯罪的地方是位於Charleroi附近一個現已荒廢的採礦區。他的審訊引起比利時崩裂、民衆群起反對腐
敗的精英，這些都是西方殖民主義與工業霸權衰落的寓言。人們可以透過Dutroux的事件勾畫出比利時的歷史。還有，每
一個比利時人對他都有個人的意見，連小孩子都知道他的事。因此，我們沒有將他呈現在舞台上為「自己」發聲。正如我
的作品Breivik’s Statement，我們著重的不是殺人犯與他的想法。因此，對Dutroux本身的描述並不實在，他的作用只是在
幫助推進事件。
你如何與八至十三歲的兒童探討這個主題？對於兒童來說，這個主題恐怕太陰森、太荒誕、太駭人聽聞了。 Rau： 我們的團隊有兩位顧問及一位兒童心理學家，家長在排練期間也會密切地參與，而我們也曾接觸與Dutroux事件有關的人
物。但是，說真的，這個製作並不刻意強調事件有多麽恐怖，我們要顯示的是反映在這個具體的、極之糟糕的Dutroux事
件內的重要議題：一個國家的衰落和這宗事件所帶來的不安、哀痛和憤怒。這個作品以剛果宣佈獨立為故事開端，以
Dutroux事件中的受害者喪禮為終結。在這背後，你可以經歷到過去幾十年來比利時人逐一破滅的幻想：安全感、信任、自
由與未來。《五段小品》帶著消極的心態，劇中五段重構的獨白與標題相輔相成。比如說，其中一段描述父親面對兒子是
個殺人兇手的困惑；另一段的主題明顯和直接地集中於暴力與虐待；而有一段藉由父母哀悼孩子帶出最深最幽暗的情感。
一切都是（自由地）根據原有文件或有關人士的訪問而來。
亞里士多德說過，模仿是人的本能。兒童也是依靠模仿來學習。當一名兒童要面對成人世界的暴行，又有什麽意義？ Rau： 在開始排練時，我們跟兒童演員排演英瑪‧褒曼《婚姻生活》中幾個場景。這個經驗很特別，兒童在知性上明白褒
曼那些錯綜複雜和反映人性的場景。他們都把戲演出來，但卻辨認不到當中真實的情感，和潛在其中關於存在的困
惑。他們在舞台上表現得很自然，很直接，都是我們在現實生活中遇不到的。我作為導演覺得很有趣：場景中的角色
和人物由沒有相關生活與專業經驗、沒有受過訓練的人來演繹會怎樣？跟一班跑來跑去，嘻嘻哈哈的孩子們工作，怎
樣才可以令他們專注或精確地演出？所以我借用了一本鋼琴教材的書名 — 《五段[簡易]小品》，寓意有系統的學習過程，
探索兒童怎樣領會敍事、同理心、服從、失望和對社會的憤怒與反叛。還有，當我們觀看他們在台上時，會發生什麽？
你的作品以精準，甚至完美而廣為人知。兒童演員如何適應你的工作方式？你花了多少工夫「訓練」及「指導」他們？ Rau： 正如褒曼在他的自傳裡提到，導演方法有兩大類：一開始塑造縝密的場景，然後讓演員體現最大的自由而創作；你也可以
反過來，利用即興手法，直至首場演出前的最後一週排練才把一切敲定。其實，我喜歡把框架定下來以後，讓演員各自承
擔責任。排練《五段小品》時，這兩類手法對於兒童演員都沒有成效。或從演出成果來說，你會察覺到訓練與指導的痕
跡，儘管排練過程經已完結。我從來沒有看過一個兒童製作沒有實質主題，並由導演為兒童演員設置框架。所以無論是主
題還是形式，這一切都很有趣。
為什麽？ Rau： 對於成人觀衆來說，兒童劇場的審美層次和隱喻，某程度上藏著戀童癖的關係。這不是一種愛的相互關係，而是傾側的權
力關係，而兒童作為較弱的一方只能接受。換言之，為成年人而設的兒童劇場把後現代媒體評論的重心回歸至原本目標。
媒體評論再次成為批判現實的工具。跟兒童一起在舞台上工作，你必須反問自己很多有關存在概念的意義，例如：「人
物」、「現實主義」、「幻想」，還有最明顯的「權力」。隨著這些小段的難度逐漸增加，我們也想藉《五段小品》把這
些進程精確地展示出來。由角色扮演開始（即Cindy Sherman的經典議題，怎樣把Patrice Lumumba或Dutroux的父親呈現
在舞台上），然後轉為導演主導的暴力這個基本問題。從自然地扮演，到強烈的模仿慾望，慢慢又肯定地，墮入表演藝術
的綜合研究，探索當中的變化、服從與反抗。
11
所以，《五段小品》不只是關於Marc Dutroux以及向兒童反映人類醜惡的作品，也包含了對劇場創作的基本反思。 Rau： 我們在過去十五年來一直創作劇場與電影作品。我們從簡約演出、政治運動到反諷劇場，創作廣播劇、錄像、電影、書籍
和舉辦會議等，什麼類別都做過。本年春季[2016年]，國際戲劇協會頒發世界戲劇大獎給我們。某程度上，這是一項終身
成就獎。然後你會想：下一步應該怎樣呢？要再創作五十齣話劇、電影或書籍嗎？簡單來說，這是最好的時候去探究最基
本的問題 — 在舞台上扮演另一個人有著什麽意義？「模仿」、「同情」或「聯繫」又是什麼？你如何應付被觀衆看著
你？你會怎樣解釋劇場，又會怎樣創作劇場？以上對劇場的詰問並不屬於知性的決定：這些對於成年演員明顯的東西，相
對於兒童來說，在道德上與技巧上都無法做到。你可以完全擺脫那些史坦尼斯拉夫斯基的表演方法與那些強大的表演傳統
迷思。到頭來，將真實呈現在舞台是更可怕的。
CAMPO’s theatre productions with children enjoy international renown and they’ve been going on tour for years. Now, CAMPO has asked you to work with them, after Tim Etchells, Gob Squad, and Philippe Quesne. What persuaded you to work with children? Rau： CAMPO deliberately approaches artists who don’t normally work with children. I must admit that I’m surely the weirdest
choice in the series. We’ve certainly worked in many different countries and fields, with both amateur and famous
professional actors, with both mass murderers and highly sensitive performers, both in improvised locations in war
zones and in government-subsidised theatres. We’ve adapted classics, created narrative theatre, and organised popular
trials, but we’ve never worked with children. I think that in the final analysis, as with all our projects, it was the thrill of the
challenge which won us over; we wanted to try something completely new.
With ‘children’s theatre’ you actually think automatically of an idea spread mainly in performance art of simplicity and authenticity, with the motto that children and fools tell the truth. Rau： That’s right. Obviously, we did some preparatory research and noticed that productions with children always follow
the same patterns. They cover visions for the future, the absurdity of the adult world, authenticity, fairy tale-style poetry.
They tell bizarre life stories, adorned with rehearsed music, a performance of innocence. For us it was clear: We
wanted to try something completely different. We wanted to show something which people don’t want to see from
children. Five Easy Pieces had to be a children’s theatre performance which was risky, unprecedented and virtually impossible.
12
The work is inspired by the Dutroux affair. Dutroux is seen as the essence of evil, the child molester, probably the most hated figure in Belgium. What else did you learn from your research, how do you want to portray him? And did you consider letting him speak for himself? Rau： I encountered the figure of Dutroux as a national myth in 2013 during my research for The Civil Wars in Brussels.
During the rehearsals, I asked the actors what Belgium was for them, and when they really felt Belgian. Because
Belgium is a culturally divided and, actually, an impossible nation formed in the nineteenth century as a buffer
between France and Germany, and it never really grew together. Those actors replied: during the White March in
1996, the major demonstration against its own government as part of the Dutroux affair.
Is Dutroux really the only collective myth in Belgium? Rau： Disturbing, but that’s what it looks like. If you look a little deeper, you certainly recognise a lot of parallels: Dutroux,
who grew up in the former Belgian colony of Congo, who entered into his crimes in the now waste mining region
around Charleroi, whose trial almost led to the implosion of Belgium and a rebellion of society against its own corrupt
elites – that’s almost an allegory of the decline of the western colonial and industrial powers. With him and through him
you could narrate a history of Belgium. Then, obviously, there’s the fact that everyone in Belgium has their own opinion
about him, even children know something about him. That’s why he’s not on the stage to speak for ‘himself’: As in Breivik’s
Statement, the fact is that it’s not the murderer and his psyche that we’re interested in, Dutroux himself is still a void, a
field of gravity.
How can you approach such a theme with children between 8 and 13 years of age? Isn’t that too gruesome, too incredible, too shocking for children? Rau： Our team includes two advisers and also a child psychologist. The parents were also closely involved in the rehearsals.
And we contacted those most closely involved in the real Dutroux affair. But, actually, this production isn’t about the
horror in itself. It’s about the big issues which lurk behind this very specific and utterly wretched Dutroux affair: the
decline of a country, the national paranoia, the mourning, and the anger which followed the crimes. The production
begins with Congo’s declaration of independence and ends with the funerals of Dutroux’s victims; in the background
you perceive the disappearance of just about all the illusions which you might have lived under as a Belgian in recent
decades: the illusion of safety, trust, freedom, and a future. These Five Easy Pieces bear a negative mindset and the titles
of the five brief monological re-enactments correspond appropriately. One piece, for instance, covers the doubts of a
father, whose adult son becomes a murderer. In another piece, the subject is clearly and directly violence and abuse.
And a third one covers the deepest, darkest of all emotions, the grieving of parents for their child. Everything is (freely)
based on original documents or interviews which we conducted with those involved in the Dutroux affair.

As Aristotle wrote, man is a creature of imitation. Children learn by imitation. What does it mean for a child to be confronted with the atrocity of the adult world? Rau： At the start of rehearsals, we acted out some fragments with the children from Scenes from a Marriage by Ingmar
Bergman. That was a special experience: The children understood intellectually what was happening in those highly
intricate human scenes of Bergman and they acted them out, but without recognising the actual emotions, the
underlying existential doubts. There is something quite natural and obvious on the stage, which doesn’t exist like this
in real life. That was absolutely fascinating for me as director: How does the part designed to portray a person operate
with unskilled actors who don’t have the daily and professional experience which is the subject of the scenes? How do
you create concentration or precision in a group which is interested only in running around and playing games
everywhere? Hence the title, the title of a book on learning to play the piano, which indicates a systematic learning
process: Five Easy Pieces. How can children grasp the meaning of narrative, empathy, loss, subjection,
disappointment, anger against society, and rebellion? And how do we react when we watch them learning on stage?
You’re well known for your very precise, even perfectionist production. How do children fit in with that method and to what extent do you have to ‘drill’ and ‘train’ them? Rau： There are certainly two contrasting ways of directing, as Bergman says in his autobiography. Either you sketch the scenes
14
very precisely right at the beginning and you give the actors all the freedom in the world. Or you do it the other way
round, you improvise until shortly before the first showing and then, in the final week, you set everything in stone.
Actually, I like to set out the framework and then let actors accept responsibility. However, for Five Easy Pieces, I’ve tried
both ways, but I concluded that neither of these rehearsing methods works with children. Or, talking about the results,
the drill and the trainer are always visible, however the working process passes off. I’ve never seen a production with
children where the actual and tangible subject wasn’t right that there was a ‘director’ who had given the children a
framework. And here it gets interesting in terms of both subject and form.
How come? Rau： Children’s theatre for adults corresponds - on an aesthetic level and of course in a metaphorical sense - to what
paedophilia is in a human relationship. It isn’t a mutually responsible love relationship, but a one-sided power
relationship, where the weaker partner, namely the child, simply has to put up with it. In other words, with children’s
theatre for adults the postmodern penchant for media criticism returns to its original target. And so, media criticism
once again become criticism of reality. Doing productions with children means that you have to question existentially
concepts such as ‘figure’, ‘realism’, ‘illusion’, and, obviously, ‘power’. We also want to show this process with Five Easy
Pieces, precisely because the ‘pieces’ get more and more difficult. What starts as a role play (namely the good
old Cindy Sherman question as to how we can portray Patrice Lumumba or Dutroux’s father on the stage) leads to
basic questions about the violence of directing. From a naturalist guise, from a gruesome desire to mimic, slowly but
surely, you drift into a meta-study on performance art and its practice of change, subjection, and rebellion.
And so, Five Easy Pieces isn’t just a production about Marc Dutroux and how you approach the depravities of mankind with children, but also a fundamental reflection on what it means to create theatre. Rau： We’ve been making theatre plays and films for 15 years now. We’ve done everything, from minimalist performance and
political action to ironic show, including radio plays, video clips, films, books, and congresses. This spring [2016], we
receive the ‘World Theatre Prize’ from the International Theatre Institute, a kind of lifetime achievement award. Then,
you sometimes wonder: what next? Just another fifty plays, films, and books? In short, it’s the right time for a project
covering absolutely basic issues. What does it mean to be ‘someone else’ on stage? What does it mean to ‘mimic’,
‘empathise’, and ‘relate’? How do you cope with being looked at? How do you explain it and how do you do it? And,
for that matter, this basic questioning of theatre isn’t an intellectual decision: Things which are completely obvious for
adult performers are morally and technically impossible with children. You can get rid of all those parochial Stanislavski
tricks, the entire intensity myth of the performance tradition. And in the end, that’s a pretty frightening thought.

有關《五段小品》 About Five Easy Pieces 《五段小品》是一次極具挑戰又有趣的經歷，既真實亦殘暴，嘗試探討兒童的感受、知性和行動的極限，企圖讓他們理解成人世 界荒謬絕倫的行為，從而達到真正的教育目的。社會學家及導演Milo Rau大膽起用七位十三歲以下的兒童，重構比利時九十年代 連環殺童案的相關史實。 通過簡單直接的練習，場景與獨白，兒童演員與成人演員一同排練後，兒童演員將重現案中相關的角色：兇手的父親、警員、 遇害者以及受害人父母等。演出時而幽默，時而不安，一方面重現比利時1998年「白色三月」反貪腐行動觸發三十萬人上街， 控訴司法制度敗壞的重要歷史，另一方面，則深入研究兒童如何透過現身說法去理解與他們息息相關的社會及道德問題。當觀 眾見到兒童飾演被指派的身份時，又會有怎樣的體驗？會怎樣回應當下產生的恐懼、渴望，甚至是忌諱呢？真實和扮演之間， 我們會否重新檢視自己和下一代生活的角度，從而避免悲劇繼續發生？ Five Easy Pieces is a profound, funny and confrontational experience that blends realism and brutality, probing the limits of what children know, feel, and do and initiating them in the emotional and political absurdities of the adult world. Using performers aged under 13, and the biography of the country’s most notorious criminal, child killer Marc Dutroux, the performance sketches a brief history of Belgium and reflects on the (re)presentation of human feelings on stage. In five simple exercises, short scenes and monologues, the young actors sneak into different roles – a police officer, Dutroux’s father, one of the victims, the parents of a dead girl – in re-enactments they’ve rehearsed with adult actors: a visit to the scene of the crime, a funeral, a moment in the life of Dutroux’s father. At times funny, at times deeply disturbing, these scenes unfold against a projected backdrop of moments from Belgium’s history, from Congo’s declaration of independence to the 1998 “White March” against corruption. Aesthetic and theatrical questions blend with moral issues: How can children understand the real significance of empathy, loss, old age, disappointment, or rebellion? What does it mean for adults to observe them in these scenes? And what does it say about our own fears, desires and taboos?
