「催眠」是一個獻給睜著眼睛做夢的人的表演。

​荷李活電影始終一成不變地這樣呈現催眠：某個佛洛伊德派的心理醫生拿著鉈錶在病人眼前搖晃，然後病人隨著搖晃的節奏逐漸進入做夢般的狀態。這些電影裡，心理醫生通常試圖以催眠喚醒被壓抑已久的記憶，或是讓病人進入童年記憶中。但我們真的需要一隻搖晃的錶才能讓我們重新看見自己嗎？才能讓那些內在的夢想和慾望浮現？每次演出只收一個觀眾的「催眠」，以意象劇場方式呈現一個親密連結的儀式，建構一個進入你潛意識的渠道。「催眠」是一個獻給睜著眼睛做夢的人的表演。

創作團隊簡介

河床劇團    
創作團隊

河床劇團成立於1998年，以「意象劇場」的創作理念，跨越了視覺藝術與表演藝術之間的界線。評論家曾讚賞河床劇團這些有機、深具雕塑性的「潛意識」劇場作品，可與山繆‧貝克特及大衛‧林區最精湛的作品相比。河床也以劇場實驗室的精神，不斷探索演出型態的各種可能性，近年以「一齣戲、只為一個觀眾」的「開房間」計劃備受各界矚目，開始一系列結合展覽與演出的實驗。
河床劇團除了參與法國亞維儂off戲劇節、兩廳院國際劇場藝術節、臺北藝術節等戲劇節演出外，亦曾受邀於臺北市立美術館、國立臺灣美術館、高雄美術館以及誠品畫廊進行展演。

Hypnosis is a performance for those who dream with their eyes open.

Hollywood films have perpetuated a theatrical mythos of hypnosis that invariably includes a Freudian psychiatrist dangling a swinging watch in front of his patient’s face, slowly immersing the patient in a dreamlike trance. In these films, the psychiatrist attempts to address a suppressed memory or to return the patient to their childhood. But do we really need a swinging watch to enable us to see ourselves, to enable us to reflect on our internal dreams and desires? hypnosis is an image-based performance staged for an audience of one. It is a ritual of intimacy and connection, a vehicle into your subconscious. hypnosis is a performance for those who dream with their eyes open.
