2023臺北藝術節：再拒劇團《說吧，香港》

2020臺北詩歌節首演大好評

你還關注香港嗎？專訪《說吧，香港》廖偉棠，四個香港故事裡的臺灣視角

「詩為現實通電，現實為詩點燈」——2020台北詩歌節開幕詩演出《說吧，香港》

說吧，香港——在台北詩歌節聽到香港

在傘與硝煙的日常裡該如何寫詩？——記「台北詩歌節」廖偉棠、黃衍仁、沐羽對談

「她只是恰巧不是你家鄉。」

2020年「台北詩歌節」索票一空的話題之作《說吧，香港》，今年來臺北藝術節繼續說下去——

此作以詩人廖偉棠的15首香港編年組詩為本，在香港逐漸失落詮釋自身的話語權之際，借未曾有過話語權的女海盜、娼妓、盲樂師現身╱聲道白，與香港有過傾城之遇的張愛玲、蕭紅，文學家也斯、巨星張國榮也出沒於詩行句間，一同為香港兩百年來的數度開闔與裂變證言。

繼2019年獲「台新藝術年度大獎」的《明白歌》後，再拒劇團再次運用紀錄劇場╱報告劇的形式，結合以聲音為敘事主軸的手法，導演黃思農偕台港兩地金曲獎音樂人黃衍仁、曾韻方聯手為詩作一字未減、譜曲演唱，雜揉環境音樂、民謠、龐克、圓舞曲、聲響演奏、地水南音等文化混融樂聲；演員鄭尹真、禤思敏則以華語、粵語雙聲朗誦疊加，以聲述史，呈現香港的失語和喧囂。

這是來自另一座殖民小島的故事。兩百年前的事，我們或未明瞭，然而後來的事，我們都知道。餘音裊裊，餘燼猶熾，香港未完——完不了。請妳繼續說吧，我們聽。我們一起聽下去。

【團隊介紹】

再拒劇團

再拒劇團2002年由臺灣80後世代不同領域藝術家組成，早年從事環境劇、詩劇、多媒材劇場，探索全球化影響下該世代的性別、階級處境與生存意識，並以劇場、音樂演出、展覽、獨立劇展策畫等各種創作型態推出製作，近年多部作品聚焦於「聲音劇場」的美學實踐。2017年以《諸神黃昏》榮獲世界劇場設計展WSD「聲音設計」金獎殊榮。2019年以《明白歌》獲得第十八屆台新藝術獎年度大獎。從小型前衛創作、非制式劇場空間演出的跨域作品到中大型劇場製作，再拒劇團持續尋找與實踐劇場藝術如何在抵拒全球資本主義文化均質化現象（homogeneity）及去政治後現代美學中，逃離失語狀態的可能。

Snow Huang & Liu Wai Tong /Against Again Troupe

Speak, Hong Kong

A concert of Hong Kong poet Liu Wai Tong’s poetry cycle set to music and performed by award-winning musicians Snow Huang, Wong Hin Yen, and Tseng Yun Fang. Spanning over 200 years, the musical narrative conjures up figures excluded in History in 15 portraits. Interweaving verses in Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as noise, punk, folk, and ambient music, the mixture of sounds traces the shifting contours of Hong Kong’s identity and gives voice to the deceased and the forgotten.

Following its acclaimed music theater performance Clear White Song (Grand Prize Winner of the 18^th Taishin Arts Award), Against Again Troupe once more joins their musical flair with history. From the pirate Widow Ching (who also fascinates Borges in his sketches), the late pop legend Leslie Cheung to the mythical creature Lo Ting, a half-fish, half-human species alleged to be a purported ancestor of Hong Kong islands, their destinies shed light on the complex layers of the heritage of the territory.

Ruminating on the protests in the past decades (from the 1967 riots and Baodiao Movement to the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement in 2019 and onwards), the performers create on stage flows of time with sound and images—of departures, resistance and mourning. A rite of memory against oblivion to a postcolonial soundtrack that mingles East and West.

Against-Again Troupe

Against-Again Troupe was founded in 2002 in Taiwan by a group of theatre practitioners coming from diverse artistic backgrounds. Our productions range from theatre, musical performances, to exhibitions and small-scale performance festivals. Major works lie in the field of site-specific theatre, music theatre and performance poetry, implementing objects, sound, and multimedia to create performance pieces infused with collage, repetition, alienation, and non-narrative text. A large portion of our work is socially conscious and issue-related. Through art we attempt to examine the human condition in our age of globalization, in regards to class, gender, identity and survival.

Liu Wai Tong/ Hong Kong

Liu Wai Tong is a poet, writer, and photographer. He was born in 1975 in Guangdong，later moved to Hong Kong, lived in Beijing for five years, and currently lives in Taipei as a Guest Associate Professor at the Taipei National University of Arts. Liu has received the Hong Kong

Biennial Award for Literature, the Taiwan Times Literature Award, and the United Daily News Literature Award. He was awarded the 2012 Hong Kong Arts Development Award

for Best Artist in the literature category, and is often invited to international literary events, such as the 2013 Poetry International in Rotterdam, and

the 2016 Singapore Writers Festival. His recent publications include: All Lights Will not Burn Out: Lin Wai Tong Selected Poems 2017-2019, and The Rose is Without an Explanation. 

Huang Snow, Taiwan/ Hong Kong

Snow HUANG is an interdisciplinary art practitioner whose works include theater, contemporary art, sound pieces and music. He founded Against Again Troupe in 2002. With the vision to see theater as a platform for dialogues about social issues, Against Again Troupe (AAT) brings together art practitioners in different fields to experiment collective cross-disciplinary works in the form of multimedia theater and environmental theater. 

With AAT, HUANG published the “micro-theater” manifesto and curated “Apartment Showcase” in 2007. In 2012, they performed American Dream Factory as part of the “Emerging Artists Program” at Festival/Tokyo (F/T) which tells the story of contemporary young labor in Asia in the face of social pressure through 12 scenes of interwoven dreams and songs.

In recent years, ATT performs and exhibits “sound theater” works across different venues, including Taipei Fine Arts Museum, Performing Arts Meeting in Yokohama in Japan, Vernacular Institute in Mexico, and Site Specific Performance Festival at Prague Quadrennial in the Czech Republic. Bearing a strong research interest in Bertolt Brecht’s “dialectical theater,” HUANG aims to expand the aesthetics of forms of expression in contemporary theater through the use of “sound” as a focal point of a narrative. Starting in 2016, HUANG has been experimenting with combining physical landscapes and fictional texts in “promenade theater” works in Taipei, Macao, and Berlin. His work is included in the 2019 Asian Art Biennial.
