“郑和”与“老九”的影子

第一次观看郭宝崑先生的作品,是去年上陈日辉老师的课时。虽然看的只是演出的录影,但是印象深刻、感触良多。当时看的是《郑和的后代》。

17/11/05 正式踏进新的DramaCentre,欣赏《老九音乐剧》。不知道是幸运还是不幸——我就坐在第一排,看舞台旁边的字幕时很辛苦,但台上演员的每一个脸部表情却看得一清二楚。

故事是很典型的年轻人追求梦想的故事,电视上经常上演。可是看着看着,我哭了。

或许我从“老九”的身上看到了自己的影子、或许每一个曾经年轻过的人,身体里都藏有过一个“老九”、或许“老九”曾经是自己的故事……

当我让眼泪流下而不敢用手拭去,因为怕被身旁的人发现时,坐在我右边的一位女士轻轻地擦了擦眼睛。

原来“老九”的影子,有着我们的影子。

这是我上剧场第一次流泪。

其实流泪的不止是观众。由于坐得很靠近舞台,我能够清清楚楚地看到主要演员如刘晓义、黄家强和林继修等都是泪流满面地在说着、唱着、演着。

在“追梦”的主题外,剧中还探讨了传统艺术的式微。听着黄家强和林继修的《时代的钟摆》,看着两个被时代淘汰的老人……我想,眼泪应该就是在这个时候第一次滑落的吧?

我只能说除了感动,还是感动!

和去年看《郑和的后代》时一样,我带着种种的反思离开(剧场/课室)。



回应剧中“师傅”的话:
@其实,读再多的书,乾坤也不一定在你掌中。读书人有时面对命运也有无力感。

Forget about Haagen Daz! Try Ben & Jerry's!















@This is what I had - Phish (say fish) Food



You have to try it yourself to define what "super premium" ice-cream is.


"Super Premium Ice-Cream" means (to me):

1) paying $4 for a "small" (this is how they labelled the smallest scoop) single scoop

2) choosing from some unfamiliar flavours that you haven't heard of eg. The Gobfather, Chunkey Monkey, Phish Food, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and so on

3) having ice-cream from a listed company in US

4) informed by the one scooping my ice-cream that every 1% that I spent contribute to help clean up rivers

5) having no place to sit in the stall during non-peak hours


6) couldn't stop after the first scoop

lastly,
7) seeing "fishes" in my ice-cream!

















@ See the last remaining fishes?
