《稻禾》是編舞家林懷民向土地致敬的一篇讚歌
雲門舞集應澳門文化局澳門文化中心邀請,並獲文化部補助 ,預定於四月十五日在澳門文化中心綜合劇院演出《稻禾》。
享譽國際的編舞家林懷民,為紀念舞團成立四十周年而傾力創作《稻禾》,將雲門結合當代舞步與太極導引 身段的獨特姿態發揮得淋漓盡致,配合耗時兩年拍攝而成的稻田高清錄像,美得令人屏息。
生命與自然的動人禮讚
雲門舞集成立四十周年的誌慶鉅作《稻禾》,享譽國際的編舞家林懷民,率領雲門舞者向土地致敬,吟唱出散發濃郁鄉土情味的頌歌,以自然界的生命循環影射生命的榮枯與輪迴。舞團花兩年時間,透過鏡頭記錄稻田的一靜一動,並將這些非凡影像投射到整個舞台上,與舞者結合當代舞步與太極身段的姿態融為一體,奪魄攝魂,投影與多媒體設計更獲英國「明亮騎士」影像設計大獎。
「雲門」相傳為中國最古老的舞蹈,1973年林懷民以此為名成立「雲門舞集」,將東方的古典美學轉化成扣人弦的當代舞姿,奠定在國際藝壇上的重要地位,被譽為亞洲當代第一舞團,歷來創作一百六十多齣舞作,其中《水月》、《流浪者之歌》、《行草》等均獲獎無數,成為各地國際藝術節及頂級舞台的常客,包括紐約下一波藝術節、倫敦沙德勒之井劇院及巴比肯藝術中心、莫斯科契可夫國際劇場節及德國伍爾斯堡藝術節等。
繼2012年帶來傳奇之作《九歌》後,雲門再次踏足澳門,以《稻禾》震撼觀眾心靈。田園的稻浪風聲、客家的質樸歌謠、聖桑與貝里尼的優雅樂聲,襯托著舞者圓潤無瑕、剛勁純熟的肢體律動,在時而隨風搖曳、時而怒火狂風的舞步裡,演繹出以泥土、日光、風、水及火等元素發展而成的感人舞段,向生生不息的自然與生命,獻上一場無與倫比的舞蹈詩篇。
雲門舞集《稻禾》於四月十五日晚上八時,於澳門文化中心綜合劇院上演。

Amazing nature in motion
Inspired by the simplicity and beauty of man’s eternal connection with earth, Cloud Gate Dance Theatre’s Rice celebrates the life cycle of nature in parallel with the human drama. The iconic Taiwanese company takes award winning projections of the island’s essential crop to merge grain, and lavish fields of green with a choreographic blend of modern dance and internal martial arts. Emblematic choreographer Lin Hwai-min leads the troupe’s skillful dancers on their descent from the clouds.
Founded in 1973, the Cloud Gate Dance Theatre has dedicated itself to transforming ancient aesthetics into a thrilling and contemporary celebration of physical movement. Dubbed as Asia’s leading modern dance theatre, the troupe has been a frequent guest at New York’s Next wave Festival, touring extensively in other international events and venues such as London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre and Barbican Centre, Moscow’s Chekhov International Theatre Festival or the Movimentos Festival in Germany.
Rice brings Cloud Gate back to CCM after their performing of Nine Songs enchanted our audience back in 2012. Displaying their unmistakably sharp, meticulous movements, they will step on stage for yet another stunning performance. Set to a combination of soothing sounds, from the Hakka traditional folksongs to classical compositions by Camille Saint-Saëns and Richard Strauss, the show balances hyper-slow intensity with bursts of frenetic fury. Displaying movements woven through Soil, Sunlight, Wind, Water and Fire, this dance of the elements, conveys contrasting concepts of death and rebirth, east and west. A moving, poetic synthesis of humanity and Nature!
