彈琴說愛 Just Play It

彈琴說愛》由【表坊】藝術總監丁乃箏編導、美籍音樂家范德騰(John Vaughan)和他的盲人鋼琴學生許哲誠主演,是一齣「另類音樂舞臺劇」,更是一部以音符演繹的「雙鋼琴相聲舞台劇」。劇情以兩位鋼琴家的親身經驗出發,透過藍調、流行樂、古典樂及各種你意想不到的表演元素,發展出看戲「不准拍手」、師生手腳併用互相搶彈鋼琴的爆笑故事!

《彈琴說愛》有別於一般戲劇的演出方式──它是透過音樂和對話達到戲劇張力。「三個人+兩架鋼琴」,導演丁乃箏帶領兩位古典鋼琴家所創作出來的新型舞台劇《彈琴說愛》。

《彈琴說愛》更打破傳統方式演奏鋼琴,古典變現代、現代變另類,橫跨中西、穿越今昔,從一堂音樂課開始,老師和學生相互有趣的對答,把古典樂、藍調、流行樂及意想不到的音樂串聯起來。

全劇以精彩的投影影像,隨著音樂的流洩淡入淡出,搭配古典樂、藍調、流行樂及你意想不到的音樂串聯起來,顛覆一般鋼琴演奏會的傳統表演模式。全劇結合了多種表演元素創作而出,是一次新的創作體驗。

一名美籍瘋狂鋼琴家、一位天才視障鋼琴手,兩臺鋼琴以及六位合音天使,詼諧生動的對話,瘋狂爆笑的表演,滿滿的溫暖感動。

Just Play It is a two-hour “conversation” between two pianists comprised of both dialogue and music. Written in Mandarin Chinese by director/playwright Ismene Ting, the script is based on over eighty interviews and improvisation sessions with American pianist John Vaughan and his blind Taiwanese piano student Hsu Zhe-Cheng. Containing an eclectic blend of theater and musical genres, the show defies simple description, which initially created difficulties in marketing the work to the public. However, word of mouth and on-line praise from passionate viewers, who consistently remark on the production’s depth, originality and emotional impact, have led to more than 150 performances in over 40 different cities throughout Taiwan and China. Just Play It is in its 8th year and continues to excite and inspire audiences.

「《彈琴說愛》是一場無法複製的相聲文本,
回溯到表坊熟悉而擅長的集體即興表演創作,
是一場以生命歷史作為即興創作底本的表演。」~表演藝術評論台評論人,汪俊彥
