2009 黑暗 潮

《黑暗 潮》為再拒劇團2009年於台灣花蓮的駐地創作，由再拒劇團團長黃思農與客席舞踏表演者王瑋廉共同主持。演出著眼於聲音與身體的對話。「黑潮」是流經台灣東海岸的重要洋流，這股餵養沿海生命群體的潮水，在該劇被轉化為永不枯竭的「生命之泉」。
從舞踏身體及音樂劇場的結合出發，該劇探索人與信仰、自然的關係。故事描述一個年輕人在朋友死去之後踏上旅程，他偶然中走入一間老舊教堂，參與了一場無人出席的追思音樂­會，過程中他與一個在教會服侍的聾啞女人之互動，讓他漸漸發現自己身上所背負的死者。該劇將花蓮舊酒廠倉庫，佈置為一間廢棄教堂，透過象徵、寓言的手法，演繹沉睡與甦醒、死亡與重生等舞踏原生之精神意念，探討「鎮魂」的意義。

Kuroshio
Against Again Troupe
Kuroshio is the outcome of Against-Again’s art residency at Hualien. Directed by troupe founder Snow Huang in collaboration with guest butoh performer Wei-lian Wang, this performance is focused on the dialogue between sound and body. The “Kuroshio” is an ocean current flowing along the east coast of Taiwan. This flowing current that nourishes the ecosystems along the shoreline is rendered through this performance into a neverending “spring of life.”
Through the integration of butoh and musical theatre, the relationships between man, faith, and nature are explored. A story is told of a man who, after the death of a friend, embarks on a journey. He steps into an old church, where a memorial concert is being held with no one attending. He interacts with a deaf-mute woman in service to the church, and gradually discovers the weight of the dead he carries on his back. The production designs transform the warehouse of an old winery into an abandoned church. Through symbolic imagery and fables, it addresses issues central to the spirit of butoh such as that of sleep and awakening, death and rebirth, and explores the inner meanings of “Requiem.”
