編舞 林懷民
演出製作 雲門舞集
聽河、觀河二十載，林懷民新作「聽河」跨出「水月」的唯美，沒有情節，卻又處處故事，不吟誦抒情，而以科技建構起新世紀的新美學，俐落，生猛，讓人目不暇給，低迴不已。
極簡的舞台上，一道素白的布，前製的影像與攝影師追逐舞者捕捉的畫面，對應著舞者的動作交互出現。舞台瞬息萬變，是漣漪、漩渦，是呢喃的小溪、沉靜的大河、湍急的瀑布……
水在舞者身上，舞者在水中間。一條條不同的河流，一個個不同的生命故事，快樂、悲傷、安靜與躁亂，似真似幻。
然而，河流什麼也沒說，只是映照著我們內心的風景。
Choreographer LIN, Hwai-Min
Performed and Produced by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan
LIN’s company, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, after wrapping up with a tour through Barbican Center in London, Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., and the Winter Olympic Arts Festival in Vancouver, will celebrate the Taiwan International Festival with the world premiere of Listening to the River.
For more than 20 years, LIN Hwai-min has been living by the Dan Suei River. The river is a major source of inspiration for his creative works. One of them is his masterpiece Moon Water, in which water literally seeps on to the stage. The new work Listening to the River breaks away from romantic lyricism, instead utilizes technology to express contemporary sensitivities.
