★★★★★推薦

今年夏天,劉曉邑導演帶著他的新作《小兵張嘎》在英國愛丁堡進行了首演。這部中國經典故事被改編成一部由三個人、一個木偶、幾張報紙、N個神秘道具組成的兒童話劇。戲劇如童話故事般展開,例如嘎子騎蜻蜓;奶奶去世的時候,人物也隨之騰起…三位演員的肢體語言加上紙的巧妙運用,隱約透出人性脆弱的一面;關於戰爭這一主線,創作者同時也是導演的劉曉邑說:“我們試圖在戰爭中還給嘎子一個童年,也試圖讓戰爭中的人們放下武器。這個劇用正面有趣的方式讓中國的孩子和家長觸碰到戰爭的殘酷,在觀戲的過程中孩子和家長也一起勇敢地開始反思戰爭。”

Jing Ying Elite Theatre Group present: Little Soldier Zhang Ga

From the puppetry director of War Horse China comes an exciting and heart-warming puppetry piece adapted from a well-known Chinese children’s book.

Little Soldier Zhang Ga is an uplifting tale of a young boy’s solidarity and spirit during World War II. Set in northern China during the outbreak of the war, the piece inventively uses both puppets and actors to tell Zhang Ga’s incredible story and his inspiring response to the conflict that surrounds him.

The production is directed by Liu Xiaoyi, who gained an international reputation for his work as the puppetry director of War Horse China. The complex level of skill required to animate the horse puppets and tell Michael Morpurgo’s story wowed audiences and stunned critics.

War Horse China was a close collaboration between the UK and China’s national theatres. Throughout rehearsals for War Horse, Liu implemented the puppetry techniques he was learning from puppet master Tommy Luther to create new piece: a short work called Little Planet. Now he leads the team and new puppeteers create this brilliant Little Soldier Zhang Ga.

Little Soldier is co-written with Guo Yan, the renowned Chinese associate director of Dragon – another puppetry based piece, which was the result of a co-production between Vox Motus and Tianjin People’s Art Theatre. Dragon amazed audiences in the UK and China.
