Palingenesis

質問生命與自然的輪迴樣態



「㒩」同「裸」
指生物體無羽、毛的樣子,接近生命始末之型態。生命是一個循環,從出生嬌小無毛髮到成長年壯,最後慢慢走向瘦骨嶙峋、回到最初的狀態。

在這之間,群居生活使人產生孤獨的感受,展現出人與人不可分離,卻又獨立出生入死的矛盾狀態。舞者緊密不可分割的舞蹈動作概念,展現不可分離的單一個體,卻又若即若離的關係,莊博翔以詩意的方式傳遞身體、精神、自然與社會的當代樣貌。反映出對於「生與死」的感觸,發現生命誕生與結束的狀態似乎有幾分相似,都是弱小的,都是需要依靠他人的狀態,卻又在離別時回歸單一。

作品《㒩》從2020年開始進行創作,發展至今已經有3年多的時間,曾連續獲選4年雲門創計畫補助,由林懷民老師親自挑選指導。從2019台北藝穗節及艋舺國際舞蹈節的作品《We are not human at all.》解構拆解並重新發展,挑戰關於「減法」與「限制」的概念去發揮;2020至2023年受雲門創計畫共四期獎助,並於2021年受舞躍大地邀請頒獎典禮演出《㒩怪-雛形》,2024於國家兩廳院實驗劇場作為身體處方的創團首演。

Palingenesis

Three-year Creation.

Life is a cycle, from Innocent little kid to a grown person, and finally slowly become skinny and back to the initial state.

Thinking about the pattern of existence of life itself. In the beginning, human race is just purely existed, and the moment of existence is nihilistic. It must be rendered through time to make the existence of life meaningful and exciting. And life is just like a cycle, at the level of form, there are many opposing life and death, creation and destruction, generation and destruction, a life cycle of a star or planet, a body, a tree, and a flower, the rise and fall of civilization; But it is like a snowy winter, turning the earth into a state of extreme silence. With the change of seasons, spring comes, and everything recovers, but it will surely usher in a snowy winter again; When we were born, we are limited by time. How do we build our own value and existence in this short cycle, and finally we can bloom and slowly wither.
