HIGH LIFE #5 February 2017 31 尽管成就非凡，但飞文基依旧温暖随和。 言语间，他吐露了陈年囧事：“我从前是非常羞怯的。在 葡萄牙攻读法律的日子很是艰辛，尤其是进行口试时，我一直 紧张得发抖！在这方面，剧团对我的帮助很大。” 当被问及澳门土生土语话剧团的成功秘诀时，他毫不犹豫 地回答：“重点是营造友善风趣的氛围，让团员们享受相互之 间的合作。一直以来，我们话剧团都洋溢着笑声。事实上，土 生葡语本身就是一个趣味十足的语言。” 飞文基为话剧团组织活动并创作剧本，但对于土生葡语而 言，他最大的贡献，在于成功地吸引年轻一代进入剧院，让公 众更加关注这一濒临危境的语言。对此，他会心微笑。 他指出：“我们的目标，是让尽可能多的人以及年轻英才 参与其中；这正是剧本里小角色数目众多的原因。剧本其实可 以只涉及五六名演员，但我们却着意让更多人参与其中。背后 的原因有二。 第一，这确保一众业余演员均获得剧团支持；第 二，这让更多的年轻人可亲身感受舞台的力量。” 将土生葡语带进21世纪，是飞文基的另一考量。 “Infact, because I talkedsomuchaboutitandwasconstantly pitching ideas, he said to me, ‘Why don't youwrite it?’” The rest is history. Miguel started to lead the group and soon the amateur companywas selling out venues every year. Despite such success, Miguel remains warmand friendly. “I used to be very shy,” he admits to our surprise. “Studying law in Portugal was very hard because we had oral exams and I used to shake during the whole thing! Actually, the theater helped a lot.” When asked the secret to his success, he has little doubt it is all down to, “a good and fun environment. We need to be able to laugh and enjoy each other's company. Laughter has been an element since the beginning of Doci. Actually, the dialect itself, Patuá, is a funny language unto itself.” But Miguel did more than organizing, writing and producing plays in the old language of Macau. He brought an entire new generation of youngsters to the theater. A once dying language is now attracting a lot more attention. He smiles at this.
