白色說書人 White Storyreller  

​

一封遲來了三十多年的訣別遺書，意外劃開小家庭平靜無波的日常。
布袋戲英雄廖添丁，這回改頭換面走馬上陣，回頭演繹說書人的戲夢人生。
橫渡歲月，撥開迷霧，望盡失落年代的靜寂與喧囂。

 

How does one talk about family tragedy, about injury that has been passed on for generations? The WHITE STORYTELLER contemplates the history of his Taiwanese homeland through the prism of his family history, recounting the White Terror and the political persecution of civilians under Chiang Kai-shek’s Kuomintang regime during the 1950s, as well as treason – and how embitterment can turn to forgiveness.

The conflicts with which he must deal spring to life via the interpretative gaze of the traditional Chinese hand puppet theatre that plays such a prominent role in the protagonist’s childhood memories. Before the backdrop of full-scale Chinese paper burial objects representing his grandfather’s furniture, the narrator starts tracing his family secret.

In the combination of performance and visual art, puppet theatre and multimedia, the reality of the story told will be superimposed with surreal and magical elements. This creates stacked levels of meaning that leave spaces for interpretation. Accompanied by a soundtrack that oscillates between the shrill sounds of traditional puppet theatre music and reduced instrumental pieces, an evening of haunting melancholia ensues.

【故事大綱】

信手捻來，布袋戲偶在阿爸手裡靈活醒轉

午寐時刻，文彬最記得亂臭蓋的父親帶他上天入地牛編故事

領著千面英雄廖添丁，遁入孫悟空、濟公、武松、潘金蓮曲折身世

當一封隔了三十幾年才寄達的訣別遺書

銳利劃開小家庭的平靜日常

文彬這才發現，有一雙更大且不可見的手，惘惘然

讓失智老父如戲偶般，迷途在失落年代

這回，說書人要緩緩道來自己的故事
