《塔山白石》

死去之後，會發生什麼？我們是否就不再存在？還是會以另一種形式延續下去？而那些思念著我們的人，又將如何度過我們離開之後的日子？

本作品取材自鄒族的塔山傳說，以大自然素材為媒介，探索有生命與無生命之間的界線。在一個詩意且具象的劇場世界裡，作品試圖創造一個讓生者與逝者得以相遇的空間。述說失去、思念與愛的力量，以及人與自然間的深刻連結。

The White Stone of Tashan

What happens after death? Do we cease to exist, or do we continue to live in another form? Moreover, what happens to those who ar longing for us? In this performance, we will explore the boundary between animate and inanimate using natural materials. In a poetic and tangible theatrical world, a space will be created where the living and the dead can meet.

The performance will be based on an old Tsou (indigenous people of central southern Taiwan) legend of Mount Tashan, where the souls of the dead dwell. It’s a story about grief, the power of love and the tight bond between people and nature.
