英國蒂姆?克勞奇獨角戲《我,馬瓦利奧!》首度中國巡演
英國著名的先鋒戲劇大師蒂姆?克勞奇(Tim Crouch)首度來華演出!他帶來了令他名滿世界的莎士比亞獨角戲中最新的一部《我,馬瓦利奧》(I, Malvolio),角色改編自《第十二夜》(Twelfth Night)中一個壓抑的管家,既搞笑又令人心生憐憫,讓你在劇場中親眼見證“一秒鐘由小丑變國王”的大師級表演,是最不容錯過的精彩之作!
蒂姆?克勞奇是英國先鋒戲劇藝術(shù)家,也是一名演員、作家和導(dǎo)演。他撰寫劇本、參演其中的角色,對作品高度負責(zé)。他的戲劇表演形式多樣,但卻對傳統(tǒng)舞臺表演形式尤其是現(xiàn)實主義敬而遠之。克勞奇還邀請觀眾參與進行戲劇創(chuàng)作。繼《我,卡列班》(I, Caliban)、《我,豆花》(I, Peaseblossom)和《我,班柯》(I, Banquo)取得巨大成功后,蒂姆?克勞奇以作品《我,馬瓦利奧》強勢回歸,該獨角戲改編自《第十二夜》中的英雄人物。在2010年,他憑借該劇榮獲布萊頓藝術(shù)節(jié)(the Brighton Festival)最佳男演員獎。《我,馬瓦利奧》是一部講述什么是旁觀者和如何做旁觀者的戲劇,其表演形式與單口相聲相似??藙谄嬉浴兜谑埂分懈】涠恐袩o人的舞臺清教徒形象出現(xiàn),卻以其悲慘受辱結(jié)局告終。這是一個關(guān)于尊嚴喪失,玩世不恭,凌強欺弱的故事。這種單口相聲的敘事魔力令觀眾深深陷入莎士比亞經(jīng)典喜劇的瘋狂之中。

I, Malvolio by Tim Crouch
Tim Crouch, a renowned UK theatre pioneers, brings the latest show of his world-renowned Shakespeare mono-dramas.
I, Malvoliois a play about what it is to be a spectator and about our responsibilities as spectators. In a performance close to standup comedy, Crouch appears as the pompous, theatre-despising, puritan steward from Twelfth Night, following his humiliation at the end of that play. A story of lost dignity, prudery, practical jokes and bullying, this one man act of storytelling alchemy draws us deep into the madness of Shakespeare’s classic comedy.
This is a golden opportunity to enjoy the master’s performance in theatre, a split-second transformation from a clown to a king.
