同黨劇團 The Party Theater Group
同黨劇團成立於2001年,由資深劇場工作者邱安忱所創立。近年創作及思考方向主要以面具戲偶及不同藝術媒介為出發點,創造混合形式,並讓這些獨特藝術自行呼吸發聲。作品則以融合真人、戲偶、面具、多媒體素材等為創作元素,除演譯劇場經典文本外,更積極邀請不同國籍藝術工作者進行國際交流計畫,以拓展藝術領域。劇團名「同黨」二字本為由具共同興趣的藝術工作者所組的表演團體,亦可擴充為將不同藝術媒介熔為一爐,進而創造出更風格、更意象的藝術形式主體。
作品《飛天行動》曾獲得第七屆台新藝術獎年度十大作品,其餘《奠酒人》、《阿卡曼儂》、《我的妻子就是我》等亦獲得台新藝術獎當季提名。2017年度劇作《白色說書人》獲第十六屆台新藝術獎年度提名。
Founded in 2001, The Party Theater Group stages experimental theater productions of both acclaimed Western and original Taiwanese plays—often with minority themes—that are socially relevant, topical, enlightening, and entertaining. By combining actors, puppets, masks, and multimedia in theatrically innovative, thought-provoking ways and including the talents of artists from around the world, the group’s performances aim to deliver novel experiences to theatergoers in Taipei and across Taiwan.
Over the years, The Party Theater Group has been recognized in many ways. Most recently, in 2017, the inaugural run of White Storyteller, a play about one family’s ruin resulting from Taiwan’s White Terror, was nominated as one of the top performing arts productions by the 16th Taishin Arts Awards. Past awards included the 7th Taishin Arts Awards’ selection of another original Taiwanese play, The Sky Crisis, as one of the top ten performing arts productions in 2008 and Guling Street Avant-garde Theater’s Best Performance Award for Child of God in 2009. In addition, since 2013, The Party Theater Group has been a recipient of a grant from Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture in recognition of its work. Finally, at the request of the Taipei Arts Festival, the group was asked to collaborate with a French theater company to present the show Europe Connexion in both Taiwan and France in 2016.
