High Life

92 品 验。Tétreault 从博希的《人间乐园》、《七宗罪和最后四件事》等画作精心撷 取精彩的细节画面，设计了25个角色串起整个故事，精美的面具、舞美和杂技演 员的高超技术表演，种种奇妙元素共冶一炉，动感地呈现了画家的传世名作，令 观众“穿梭于博希画作意境之中”而不能自己。 Tétreault 笑着揭秘：“某些场景是我们提前在绿幕前拍摄好的，这样才使 得演员们看起来好像是从画中走上了舞台。” 而关于此次亚洲首演，导演说他很期待看到中国观众的反馈。 “我相信博希的作品是非常普世的，但他的作品同时又是植根于受天主教文 化影响很深的中世纪，所以我很希望看一看它会如何超越那些表述善恶的陈旧的 中世纪时期的宗教观念。 “善恶的观念存在于所有的文化和宗教之中，也是我们的表演希望传达的讯 息。无论是中世纪还是当今，我们如何看待善与恶，以及作为个人应如何选择？ 这才是我们这个表演想提出的关键问题。” For thosewho haven’t had the opportunity to admire anyof his exhibitions, Bosch Dreams is a fantastic opportunity to delve into tales of the artist’s life and the revelations that emerge from his truly unique art. Inspired by images from his best-known works, including “The Seven Deadly Sins” and “The Garden of Earthly Delights” among others, the painter’s creations are brought to life by Tétreault via a parade of 25 characters, wondrous masked and moving artists that “go constantly in and out the paintings.” “We filmed some of the actors in front of a green screen, so they’ll appear like they’re inside the painting and then they come forwards on the stage,” Tétreault says with a smile. On Bosch Dreams ’ Asian premiere, the director says he’s looking forward to seeing the reaction from Chinese audiences to the show. “I believe Bosch’s work is very universal, but at the same time his work was based on the culture of the Middle Ages influenced by Catholicism,” he says. “I’m interested to see how it will reach beyond these old medium-religious concepts of representing good and evil. “Good and evil is present in all cultures and all religions and that is the message to get from the show. Between the Middle Ages and today, what is our perception nowadays on good and evil and how do we as individuals choose to live our lives? That’s the key question of the show.”
