展覽介紹

《父親母親》以傳統掌中戲為經，性別少數生命際遇為緯，貫穿了那段漫長的人民面對威權壓迫的家國史。——中央研究院民族所 副研究員 彭仁郁 編導演皆是上乘，戲劇手段的分寸拿捏恰到好處，在過度煽情的邊界之前，還能點到為止地抹上一層幽默的醍醐味。——黎明技術學院 戲劇系教授 葉志偉 布袋戲與真人的演出，不但沒有扞格，而且極美。戲偶本身就有一層故事，偶師與身邊的人的故事也是一個層次，然後集體又形成一個交融的，關於私人、性、政治暴力的「好看」的故事。——國立中山大學 社會系教授 林傳凱 調度流暢、演員強勢、故事感人。——劇場導演 陳仕瑛相片跌出衣櫃，泛黃的影像是一對站在布袋戲棚邊的男女；女人抱著嬰兒，男人拿著兩隻布袋戲老虎。年逾半百的阿文，在養父的遺物中找到疑似生父的舊照片，別人的中年危機是諮商轉職子不教，他卻是跳上車，開啟一趟南北走透透的尋父之旅。地毯式的搜索與詢問，橫跨不同時期的臺灣土地故事，也如潘朵拉的盒子層層開啟，揭開深埋50年的祕密…… 《父親母親》於2021年首演即大獲好評，充滿細節的劇本溫柔包覆了白色恐怖與身分認同的嚴肅議題，更透過日治時期本土布袋戲的發展，寫實呼應殖民下臺灣人轉換身分求生存的過往。透過主角尋找生父母的過程，同時解鎖上一代家庭秘密、處理下一代的性別認同，縝密又出色的劇本，外加一票實力派演員的精采詮釋，展現強大的戲劇張力。當觀眾隨著劇情笑淚交織之際，也能細細感受劇中每一具如布袋戲偶般被操縱的身體，如何堅強且勇敢地橫渡時代巨流，努力以自身的模樣活下去。 After finding an old photograph of his biological father among his adoptive father's belongings, fifty-year-old A-Wen embarks on a journey across Taiwan to find the man. Delving into a half-century of history and politics, A-Wen's search not only details the evolution of Taiwan's glove puppet theater, but also depicts his personal evolution as he solves the mystery of his biological father's identity while grappling with his son's sexual orientation. Featuring a talented cast of six actors portraying thirty-six characters and having received enthusiastic reviews last year, Father Mother is a surprise hit that cannot be missed! Depicting moments from Taiwan's Japanese Colonial Period, its White Terror martial law era under Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang regime, and the nation's 2018 same-sex marriage referendum, Father Mother examines the relationship between and transformation of national identity and self-identity through the lens of budaixi, traditional Chinese glove puppet theater, as it has evolved in Taiwan. With budaixi's adaptations to changing times mirroring those of ordinary people trying to survive Taiwan's turbulent history, the play unfolds a delicate yet brave story of the uniquely Taiwanese struggle for freedom of self-expression and social justice. 演出人員名單導演｜蘇洋徵編劇｜邱安忱演員｜吳世偉、林子恆、韋以丞、徐浩忠、呂名堯、邱安忱執行導演｜莊衿葳歷史顧問｜林傳凱、林瓊華台語翻譯｜吳榮昌舞台設計｜林仕倫燈光設計｜郭欣怡服裝設計｜林玉媛音樂設計｜蔣韜藝術行政｜王宇、江允芃 Director｜SUE Yung-cheunPlaywright｜ CHIU An-chenActors｜ WU Shih-wei, LIN Zi-heng, WEI Yi-cheng, HSU Hao-chung, LU Ming-yao, CHIU An-chenExecutive Director｜ZHANG Jing-weiHistory Consultants｜LIN Chuan-kai, LIN Qiong-huaTaiwanese Translator｜ WU Rong-changStage Designer｜LIN Shi-lunLighting Designer｜KUO Hsin-iCostume Designer｜LIN Yu-yuanMusic Designer｜CHIANG TaoAdministration｜WANG Yu, CHIANG Yun-peng 演出團隊介紹同黨劇團資深劇場工作者邱安忱於2001年創立。「同黨」二字既是具共同興趣的藝術家組成的團體，亦為將不同藝術媒介融合，所創造出更風格與意象的藝術形式。作品多融合真人、戲偶、面具、多媒體等不同媒材，並以關懷弱勢、探討個人身分、性別與國族認同為主要探討題材。 The Party Theater GroupFounded 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.
