国舞剧场2023首场海外舞作
瑞士约书亚·蒙登舞蹈团6月登台
我问你答，一台互动式舞蹈剧场

【作品介绍】
海外舞作即将登台！瑞士领先的现代舞团之一——约书亚·蒙登舞蹈团（Joshua Monten Dance Company）即将携趣味互动新作《幸福降落伞》登台国舞剧场！观众与舞者同台，踏上一段追寻幸福的旅程。

《独立宣言》以坚持“生命、自由和追寻幸福”的权利而闻名。但人真的能够追寻幸福吗？“幸福”究竟藏身何处？而我们的“追求”又是如何被周围人所左右？
在《幸福降落伞》中，我们将在表演者的带领下，共同加入这场“追寻”，尝试理解他人的喜怒、难以宣之于口的想法，了解那些潜藏在你我内心深处的脆弱与敏感之处。作品在语言、肢体和舞蹈的交集上找到新的交流方式，而那些或喜或悲的情绪，将感染在场的人们。

【作品看点】
瑞士约书亚·蒙登舞蹈团6月登台
由瑞士约书亚·蒙登舞蹈团创作的《幸福的降落伞》是国舞剧场本年首个国际项目，将于6月来沪与中国观众相见，为我们展现别样的思考与表达。
作为在瑞士颇有声名的现代舞团之一，约书亚‧蒙登舞蹈团创立于2012年，创立者是瑞士裔美籍编舞家约书亚‧蒙登。创团后，该舞蹈团在世界各地的艺术节和剧场进行了上百次演出，其中包括阿维尼翁冬季艺术节、新加坡滨海艺术中心、拉马拉当代舞蹈艺术节、开罗国际当代和实验舞蹈节、利马当代舞蹈节、哈瑟尔特舞蹈节、沙塞皮埃尔音乐节、瑞士当代舞蹈节和纽约酷儿国际艺术节等。

我问你答，一台互动式舞蹈剧场

作品打破常规观演关系，演员不再是作品的单一阐述者与塑造者，观众也可以参与到舞蹈剧场的表演过程中。约书亚‧蒙登舞蹈团创造了一种有趣的互动舞蹈表演，该团的作品对体力和情绪都提出了极高的要求，致力于在口头表达、肢体语言和动作之间寻找到新的沟通方式。

在“问答”式的表演互动中，每一位身处其中的人都被调动起来，沉浸于舞剧的独特氛围中。

走上舞台，围观一场“近景舞蹈”

《幸福的降落伞》选择了一种混合型的座位方式，观众将围绕表演区域而坐。在舞台上，透明的红色塑料帷幕将观众分成不同组，同时也模糊了“舞台”和“观众席”的边界，舞者会不时地进入观众区，处处都是舞台，而观众就坐在演员身边。

独特的舞台设计与坐席安排，使得每位观众都可以从一个独特的角度感受演出，这种安排为观众提供了一种奇妙的亲密视角，让他们可以以高清的视角感受现场演出，体验处于人群中的感觉，并且与表演者进行直接互动。

从“快乐”出发，寻找“幸福”所在

《幸福的降落伞》中的表达在“满足”和“空虚”、“希望”和“绝望”间循环往复，令人目眩神迷。在这场关于“幸福”的追寻中，肢体尤为重要：体验和发现之下的兴奋，深度体验之下的满足，以及如何悦己这一永恒话题。

我们深知追逐幸福的难度所在——和它根本性的不合理之处，约翰·斯图亚特·穆勒说过“不要追求幸福。能够不靠幸福活着，正是获得幸福的可靠方法。”我们真的知道什么能让我们幸福吗？该作通过探索人们最基础的需求，见证彼此的内心挣扎，徘徊在通往内心充实的道路上。

【编导的话】
舞蹈能够反思、宣泄、表达狂喜，是寻找幸福的绝佳方式。在《幸福降落伞》中，观众将在舞团的带领下，共同加入一场“追寻”——通过探索人们最基础的需求，见证彼此挣扎，徘徊在通往内心充实的道路上。

作为瑞士领先的舞团之一，约书亚‧蒙登舞蹈剧团专注于创造有趣的互动舞蹈表演，他们的作品对体力和情绪都有着极高的要求。在演出中，观众们以演员为中心围坐在舞台上，与演员们通过语言或肢体互动，他们当下的反馈激发了演员，因而成为了演出的一部分。

【编导介绍】

The first international performance at SIDC in 2023
The Joshua Monten Dance Company is coming this June
An interactive dance theater threaded by Q&A
A fun experience fused with Swiss sense of humor
Sit on the stage and become a part of the show
The pursuit of happiness knows no end

ABOUT THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
The U.S. Declaration of Independence famously insists on the rights to “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” But is it really possible to hunt for happiness? Where does this strange beast reside? And how does our quest depend on the people around us?

A guiding principle of the "Pursuit of Happiness" is that we do not hunt alone. Both the performers and the audience members search for happiness within each other, examining one another's moods, unspoken needs, trigger points and ticklish spots. They find new ways to communicate at the intersection of spoken language, sign language and movement. Some feelings prove to be contagious, spreading in infectious chain reactions around the room.

HIGHLIGHTS
The Joshua Monten Dance Company is coming this June
The Pursuit of Happiness of the Joshua Monten Dance Company is the first international project of the year at SIDC. The Joshua Monten Dance Company will arrive in Shanghai this June and share with the audience their reflection and interpretation of the hunt for happiness.

Joshua Monten Dance Company has given hundreds of performances at festivals and theaters around the world, including Hivernales d'Avignon, Esplanade Theatre in Singapore, Ramallah Contemporary Dance Festival, CIFCET Festival in Cairo, Festival de Danza Nueva in Lima, Krokusfestival Hasselt, Festival de Chassepierre, Swiss Contemporary Dance Days and Queer New York International Arts Festival.

An interactive dance theater threaded by Q&A
The Pursuit of Happiness breaks away from the conventional relationships between performers and audience, where performers are no longer the only figures on the stage who can decide the story and shape the work but bring the audience in as a part of the show.

The Joshua Monten Dance Company has created a playful and interactive dance performance that is physically and emotionally demanding, exploring new ways of communicating between verbal expressions, body language and physical movements.

In their latest creation "The Pursuit of Happiness", the audience is distributed throughout the performance space. Their reactions are visible to all, thus they become characters in the very performance they are witnessing.

Through the interactive Q&A, every person on the stage is invited to join the conversation and immerse themselves in the special vibe surrounding the space.

Sit on the stage and become a part of the show

After the pleasure and success of experimenting with alternative seating arrangements in his their earlier productions, Joshua Monten has chosen a somewhat complex form for the indoor stage version of "The Pursuit of Happiness." Again, the audience surrounds the performing area on all sides. The set — constructed from translucent red plastic curtains divides the audience into separate groups, and quite literally colors their experience of the theatrical environment. The border between "stage" and "audience" is highly permeable, with the dancers sometimes invading the space between individual seats.

This arrangement provides the audience with an unusual degree of closeness and intimacy, a high-definition experience of live performance, a feeling of community, and the possibility of direct interactions with the performers.

The pursuit of happiness knows no end
The choreography is structured by cycles of fulfillment and emptiness, by vertiginous cross-fades between hope and despair. Movement itself plays a central role in our quest: the visceral thrill of travel and discovery, the satisfaction of being submerged in the flow of deeply felt experience, the eternal question of how to get your groove on.

The dancers are fully aware of the difficulty — or even the fundamental absurdity — of their endeavor. John Stuart Mill once suggested that "not seeking happiness and being able to do without it is the most reliable way of attaining it." Can we ever really know or predict what will make us happy? Isn't an hour-long performance far too short to have a long-term effect? Doesn't the pleasure of live theater leave the audience with a terrible hunger once it's over? Isn't the journey the goal?

WORDS FROM THE CHOREOGRAPHER
Dance is a powerful technology of mood: a tool for reflection, catharsis, and even ecstasy. And a dance performance is an excellent place to go hunting for happiness. In "The Pursuit of Happiness," both the performers and the audience members join in the hunt by exploring their most basic needs, witnessing each other's struggles, and wandering the different paths to fulfillment.
