About關於
Inspired by The Legend of the White Snake, Qingbai reimagines the relationship between Bai Suzhen and Qing through physical theatre and dance. Transformation and memory move through a world of rain, rivers, and shifting identities, where human consciousness meets animal instinct. Created by Tara P. Nyingjè with Xinyi Dance Company, the work uses movement and Mandarin text to ask how a person defines herself when others insist that she prove her innocence.
《Qingbai》從《白蛇傳》出發,以肢體劇場與舞蹈重述白素貞和青的關係。雨水、河流、記憶與變換的身分貫穿其中,人的意識與動物本能在身體裡交錯。Tara P. Nyingjè 與 Xinyi Dance Company 透過動作和中文台詞,描寫一個女人如何在他人的質疑中認識自己:當所有人都要她證明清白,她自己的聲音在哪裡?
