當代劇場大師羅伯．勒帕吉繼《887》後全新製作《庫維爾1975：青春浪潮》，將透過日本文樂傳統人偶戲詮釋一個發生在1970年代加拿大庫維爾（Courville）的故事。17歲的西蒙在家裡的地下室有自己的房間，他有著一位與狡猾叔叔廝混的寡婦母親、被強迫紋上的胸膛刺青、向他求愛未果的女性朋友和一位未受良好教育但四肢發達的男性朋友。在接踵而來的社會動盪下，勾勒出青春期的複雜思緒，在西蒙的生命中引發關鍵性的迴響。

Courville is an ambitious and intimate semi-autobiographical work by the wizard of modern theatre direction, Robert LEPAGE, following his one-man show 887. The story takes place in Canada, 1975, in the now non-existent Courville. Simon, just 17 years old, has his own room in the basement of a bungalow. In his circle are a widowed mother mixed up with a shifty uncle, an involuntary and painfully permanent tattoo on his chest, a female friend who woos him without much success, and a poorly educated athletic male friend. In this ukiyo-e of youth, Simon's life is marked by the torments of sexual awakening, the gaze of others, and obsession with appearance, as well as the social unrest that ensues.

藝術家介紹

羅伯・勒帕吉

跨領域藝術家羅伯・勒帕吉身兼演員、導演、劇作家及劇場導演，其作品汲取近代歷史，具原創性、當代性及獨特性，更藉由新科技超越界域限制，也挑戰了劇場書寫的標準，深受國際藝評界讚揚。

1994年是勒帕吉創作生涯的重要階段，他在這年成立了跨領域創作的團隊「機器神」(Ex Machina)並擔任藝術總監。在其主導下，名為La Caserne的跨領域製作中心於1997年6月在魁北克市成立；截至2019年，幾乎所有機器神的創作均誕生於此。

其重要作品包括：舞台劇《太田川的七條支流》、《龍之三部曲》；獨角戲《在月球的彼端》、《887》；歌劇《浮士德的天譴》、華格納《尼伯龍根的指環》；多媒體作品《影像廠》、《夜間圖書館》。他也曾與太陽馬戲團合作《雙星奇緣》及《圖騰》。

Robert LEPAGE

The multidisciplinary artist Robert LEPAGE is all at once an actor, a director, a playwright and a stage director. Hailed by international critics, his original, contemporary and unusual works, inspired by recent history, transcend borders and challenge the standards of scenic writing, particularly through the use of new technologies.
The year 1994 marks an important step in his career: he founded Ex Machina, a multidisciplinary creation company of which he is the artistic director. Also under his leadership, the multidisciplinary production center, La Caserne, was created in June 1997, in Quebec City. This last creative space sees the birth of almost all of Ex Machina’s productions until 2019.

His most significant works include, the plays, The Seven Streams of the River Ota and The Dragons’ Trilogy; his solos, The Far Side of the Moon and 887; the operas, The Damnation of Faust and WAGNER’s Der Ring des Nibelungen; his multimedia works, The Image Mill and The Library at Night, and with Cirque du Soleil, KÀ and TOTEM.

機器神

在藝術總監羅伯．勒帕吉的帶領之下，機器神創作、製造、並傳播跨領域的藝術作品，其中又以戲劇作品為主。

機器神匯集了來自不同領域的創作者，碰撞出多元的藝術創作：以單獨或集體方式撰寫並演出原創劇本、以現有文本發展的戲劇作品、將其他多種領域（如舞蹈、音樂、博物館學）結合戲劇的製作，以及大量運用科技所創作的歌劇及多媒體作品。機器神主要在魁北克市發展創作，並經常於加拿大魁北克和美洲、歐洲、亞洲、大洋洲等其他地區演出。

多語言的運用、大量圖像、視角顛倒、規模變化、電影敘事手法的借用以及科技工具的使用，以上種種都是為了激發觀眾情緒並啟發意義，同時也反映出機器神試圖為戲劇表達賦予詩意的渴望。

Ex Machina

Led by artistic director Robert LEPAGE, Ex Machina creates, produces and disseminates multidisciplinary artistic works, most often theatrical.

The company brings together creators from several fields of activity and offers a broad range of artistic production: original plays written and performed solo or collectively, plays based on existing texts, productions in which various disciplines (dance, music, museology) mingle with theater, operas and multimedia productions featuring a predominantly technological dimension. Ex Machina mainly develops its shows in the city of Quebec, and then presents them abundantly in Quebec, Canada and elsewhere in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Oceania.

The multilingualism, the massive use of images, the reversal of perspective, the variations in scale, the use of narrative codes borrowed from the cinema and the use of technological tools aim to spark meaning and emotion, reflecting a desire to poeticize theatrical expression.
