不要呻吟,请往前走 – 评新加坡艺术节2006戏剧盒所呈献之剧作 | 《独在家乡为异客》

新加坡艺术节2006 戏剧中心剧场 文:蔡两俊 2006年6月8日 《独在家乡为异客》的评论,我迟迟未能提笔,原因在于这评论的组织架构上的决定之犹豫 不决。但是,最终评论还是得要完成,我因此决定边想边写。 一出戏如果要和观众起共鸣,戏的内容一定要有一个普世的意义。《独》是两个人的故事-一个老师和他的学生的故事,故事叙述的是他们对彼此的思念以及对家乡的情感。老实说,观戏后,真的是难以看出剧中是否有任何普世意义。但是,如果创作者郭庆亮是想通过这几个人的故事来呈现异乡客的复杂心绪的话,那《独》就是一个没有经过整理的复杂心绪堆。观众在这些异乡客的思绪中溺毙,完全不能了解他们为何要这样想,为何感到如此地困惑。

The story started with a duet of lines between Oscar (performed by Koey Foo) and Ming(performed by Phin Wong), a dialogue that is familiar to all gay people. 2 gay lovers charting their 4 year history in a relationship, from days of courtship till the time Oscar decides to break up with Ming after being diagnosed with HIV. As the act moves on, Oscar joins a support group and befriends Daniel, a stereotypical Chinese boy studying business at Harvard. Ming, however, finds new love with his Caucasian headwaiter lover, Robert, in LA. Then later, their relationships turn sour, and they can’t seem to replace their current love interests with the old one. Daniel suffers being Oscar’s substitute for Ming, while Robert trying to make sense of what relationship is when Ming asks that both of them see other people while they are together.

这是金大班的故事吗?

  图由上海话剧艺术中心提供  《金大班的最后一夜》 谢晋文化艺术公司与上海话剧艺术中心呈献 中国 2006年2月10日、星期五、晚间8时 新加坡滨海艺术中心剧院 文:蔡两俊 每次看华语戏剧,第一个感觉就是它将会是一个非常冗长的过程,因为一个话剧的结构往往都是非常完整,从人物的刻画到故事的来龙去脉,都非常清楚,让观众能彻底地了解故事以及剧中的人物。在2006年新加坡华艺节所呈现的《金大班的最后一夜》也不例外。戏不难看得懂,亦非常清楚,讲的也不就是金大班的人生经历。故事讲述的是金大班的三段恋情,也就是她一生的故事,从上海百乐门舞厅一直到台北“夜巴黎”歌舞厅。 这样的故事精彩吗?那一定要问问观众了。可是,观众到场看戏的推动力何其多,有的为台柱刘晓庆而来,有的也为白先勇的小说里的金兆丽而来。但是在两者之间,哪一个占多数,我不清楚。对我而言,来看音乐剧取乐的,我暂且不说,来看看谁是刘晓庆的,我看也不必多谈。让我感兴趣的还是那些为了故事而来的;到底是故事的什么地方吸引了这群观众呢?
