內容簡介 Introduction
It Won’t Be Long Now, a solo show set in 1940s Hong Kong, follows the experiences of a British prisoner of war incarcerated in the Sham Shui Po Barracks by the Japanese. He is our guide to the world of the camps: the beatings, diseases, forced labour and deaths, but so too to the informal university, the furious gardening, the prison breaks and drag entertainment acts. It may just be that when you dance with death sitting in the front row, you dance with greater abandon. The show reveals the enduring humanity and will to survive that still exists when everything else has been stripped away. The Cantonese version of It Won’t Be Long Now on the other hand would be the story of a Hong Konger during the Japanese occupation of 3 years and 8 months.


《明日陽光璨爛》是一齣背景設於香港日佔時期的獨腳戲,英文版改編自一名被日軍俘虜的英國人於深水埗戰俘營的故事。英國戰俘帶領我們走進戰俘營的世界:虐打、疾病、勞動、死亡;亦會帶著我們遊覽營中的私塾、花園,還有越獄和男扮女變裝秀。似乎當人與死神共舞時,反而能放開一切,盡情起舞。看這齣戲,觀眾會感受到當一切都被剝奪殆盡也仍然存在的人性與生存欲望。《明日陽光璨爛》的廣東話版則會從香港人的角度出發,訴說香港人在三年零八個月的故事。


《深水埗演義計劃》
一直以來,社區文化發展中心嘗試札根於深水埗,上演了有關深水埗的獨腳戲。之前有雄仔叔叔和李俊亮的街頭自傳劇場,余淑媚的「石硤尾徙置區,工廠大廈和創意藝術中心」和林歡曉「肉的聲音:露宿者」獨腳戲。
「不是霑叔不聚頭」是這個獨腳戲計劃的延續,正名為「深水埗演義」。下一齣的作品是「明日陽光燦爛」,是圍繞日軍深水埗戰俘營的故事,由Bill Aitchison 和李俊亮的獨腳戲演出,訴說日軍深水埗戰俘營內外真實人物的故事。Bill Aitchison 和李俊亮將會先後同場演出。

 

"Sham Shui Po Stories"
The Centre for Community Cultural Development is rooted in Sham Shui Po and has staged a number of solo performances related to the area.

We have had the Autobiographical tours of Uncle Hung and Indy Lee. We also had the intimate theatres of May Yu (Stories of the Shek Kip Mei Resettlement Estate, Factory and Creative Arts Centre) and Idy Lam (The Sound of Flesh - Stories of Sham Shui Po's Street Sleepers).

 

The series continues with Dream James (of Yeung Ping Kei) and the next one will be "It Won't be Long Now", stories of real characters in and around the Prisoners of War Camp in Sham Shui Po run by the Japanese occupiers during the Second World War. The lives of the characters are re-enacted by Bill Aitchison and Indy Lee in a double bill.


The former performs in English and latter in Chinese portraying different characters. Summaries of the stories will be available.

雄仔叔叔推介

 

    「行行重行行」的文化旅遊工作坊,主打是來自英國的 Dr. Bill Aitchison 的5天工作坊,引導學員以不同的角度,認識文化導賞,並作實踐。Bill 已是第三次來港辦此工作坊,今次以香港電影中的深水埗為切入點,有玩頭。

 

(Bill 還是一名劇場演員,他將在8月31日至9月2日演出 社區文化發展中心 [深水埗演義] 的第六回:明日陽光燦爛 。Bill 以渾身解數演出當年被困於日軍集中營的俘虜真實故事 。http://www.cccd.hk/?a=doc&id=2355)

 

 

另外兩場附加菜,是兩片本地薑的深水埗之旅。

 

其一是「尋找李俊亮的路邊風景」。

 

      俊亮在深水埗長沙灣長大,街道就是他的遊樂場。導賞就是將街道的人和戲呈現,讓參與者情不自禁置身其中,一起「遊」一起「戲」,再在工作坊拆解人.社區.感情和生活角色的種切。(與Bill Aitchison同場 , 李俊亮在明日陽光燦爛 演出  集中營外面的故事 。)

 

其二是小弟的「文化是幽靈.社區是異域」。故事翻來覆去都是幾條街區的人事情,講著才發現是終身相伴。他們闖進當下,總有當下的姿態和口實,像一扇門打開了與「面善」相遇,卻是翻到另一篇章。工作坊就是回應John Berger一句話, “Storytelling is a rescue operation.”

 

嗱,好嘢唔怕推,快快上網看詳情,來不了的也介紹給朋友:
