Q & A

1. 劇場搏劇場是什麼？
簡單來說，是一個劇場節。 2013年由澳門的民間藝團「天邊外（澳門）劇團」開始舉辦，當時因為成立了一個私營黑盒劇場而籌辦的劇場節。2015年起，連結澳門慕拉士大馬路一帶的小劇場一起舉辦，由2016年起，突破慕拉士，更跳出小劇場，延展至所有可讓演出發生的空間。 2. 為甚麼有兩個「劇場」？ 劇場的第一個含意是指所有的演出場所，第二個劇場是指在某一空間內所進行的演出，無論是何種藝術表演類型，我們都稱為劇場。 3. 「搏」什麼？ 創作人需要不斷的創新，但慢慢因為受到市場或種種因素而按照著一種安全模式去創作，有時候是需要「放手一搏」，嘗試走一條非慣性的創作道路。 觀眾也同樣地習慣了只有一種觀賞的模式，不願意去嘗試新體驗，創作人可以跳出自己的框框，觀眾也可以走離舒適的觀眾席，嘗試換個角度、換個心態去看一個作品，與創作人一同「放手一搏」。 而「搏」亦以其音BOK，引伸至「駁」，有接駁的含意，除了創作人與觀眾外，更有觀眾與劇場、劇場與社區、社區與地區的不斷接駁。 4. 究竟有幾「搏」？ 「藝術」是主觀的，每個人都有不同的審美觀，也不需要統一的，所以，我們希望創作人享受創作過程，更希望觀眾可以享受參與其中的過程，兩者的互動才令這「劇場」產生價值。當各方越是「搏」的時候，那種過程的享受價值就更高。所以，你想幾搏就幾搏。 5. 何為「非常一搏」系列節目 (Give it a Shot)？ 「劇搏」每年均邀請來自澳門及鄰近地區的創作人參與，嘗試以一種他們非慣性的創作模式去挑戰自己，這次並非追求一種「完美」的作品呈現，更重要是探索及可發展的可能性，因此，呈現的作品均為階段性，觀眾透過在這階段的參與（觀賞），等同參與創作過程；觀眾與創作人的互動是可以共同營造一個美好的過程。 6. 作為觀眾，如何去「搏」？ a. 如果你想更進一步了解創作人，喜歡與不同的觀眾分享及討論作品，又喜歡穿梭澳門社區的藝術空間的話，推薦你選擇「非常一搏」系列節目，每個節目一場會有兩個創作人在兩個不同劇場內呈現他們的嘗試，觀看完一個呈現後，會步行至另一劇場觀賞第二個創作人的呈現。第二場演出後會有BOK Club 活動，可與創作人及其他觀眾分享交流。 b. 如果你的目的是想觀看一個完整的演出，則推薦你選擇《紅》、《愛比資本更冷》及《日落是我對你的感覺》系列節目，這些都是我們在外地精選的作品，同樣具探索性。 7. BOK Club是什麼？ BOK Club是每晚演出後在不同的小劇場舉行輕鬆派對，讓觀眾與創作人互相交流的聚會，觀眾因瞭解而對創作有更深一層的認識，亦為創作者帶來養份。（詳情請瀏覽網頁 BOKfestival.com） |
1. What is BOK Festival?
Simply put, it is a theatre festival. It was started in 2013 by the Macanese non-governmental art group “Horizon Macau Theatre Group”, when they established a new privately-run black box theatre. In 2015, it was organized through the union of several small theatres in the Avenida de Venceslau de Morais area. And in 2016 we’re moving beyond this area, and also out of the small theatres, extending into all the “performable” spaces. 2. Why are there two “theatres” in its Chinese name (“Theatre x Theatre”)? The first meaning of “theatre” is any kind of performance site, and the second meaning is the performance that takes place in a certain space. Regardless of the genre or type, we call it theatre. 3. What is “BOK”? Artists need to be constantly innovating. However, due to the market or other factors, they gradually start to create according to “safe” norms, and sometimes they need to “give it their all” and try a new creative path not plagued by inertia. In the same way, the audience also gets used to a kind of pattern as a viewer, and is reluctant to try out new experiences. The artists can step out of their comfort zone and the audience can step out of their comfortable seats and try to see the work from a different angle and with a different attitude. They’re “giving their all”, together. And BOK, meaning to seize or take a risk, as well as its homonym, meaning to refute, implies a transfer. Besides the transfer between artist and audience, it is a continuous transfer between audience and theatre, theatre and community, community and region. 4. How many “BOK’s” are there? Art is subjective, everyone has their own artistic views, and there’s no need to unify them all. Therefore, we hope the artists are able to enjoy the creative process, and that the audience is also able to enjoy taking part in it. The interaction between the two is what gives value to this “theatre”. When the “BOK levels” between the two are elevated, the enjoyment in the process will also increase. Therefore, there can be as many “BOK’s” as you want. 5. What is the “Give it a Shot” series? Every year we invite artists from Macau and neighboring regions to try a creative method outside of their comfort zone in order to challenge themselves. The goal is not to create a “complete perfect” work in the first stage, the most important is the possibility of exploration and development. In this way, the work goes through several stages, and the audience’s participation in one of the stages (viewing the work) makes them, in a way, a part of the creative process. The interaction between the audience and the artist can create a beautiful process. 6. As an audience, how do you find your “BOK”? a. If you want to better understand an artist, if you like discussing a show with different members of the audience and enjoy visiting the various artistic spaces in the Macau community, we recommend you choose the “Give it a Shot” series. Every item on the program contains two presentations by two different artists in two different theatres. After one is over, the audience travels on foot to another theatre for the second artist. After the second one there will be the BOK Club activities, in which you can have a discussion with the artists or the other members of the audience. b. If your wish is to see a complete show, we recommend you choose the three main programmes. These are all works from outside of Macau or new collaboration that were programmed by us, and they still possess that exploratory nature. 7. What is BOK Club? BOK Club is like a laid-back party held in a different theater every night after the shows. It allows the audience and the artist to interact with each other. This will give the audience a deeper understanding of the creative work and provide the artists with new inspiration. (For more details, please visit BOKfestival.com) |
