SYNOPSIS
A truck drives into a square and a movable tent is set up. Audience members enter and hear the faint voices from the cracks in society. As the tent becomes a convergence of the thoughts of those both on stage and off, we feel the power of resistance that the entire action entails. Functioning both as observer and participant, the director documents the tent’s movements around Taiwan in the past decade.
中文大綱
貨車駛入廣場搭起帳篷,帳篷成員有的換裝上妝,上台演出,有的在幕後各司其職。觀眾進場,傾聽社會間隙微弱到幾乎聽不見的聲音,見證帳篷成員集體建構的獨特美學,感受經由行動所展現的抵抗能量和反思,觀看帳篷劇成了台上台下意念的匯流沸騰。演出之後,成員們收疊帳篷,離開短暫的臨時舞台,帶著帳篷的核心理念,前往各自現實的生活,繼續行動與沈澱,並等待著下一次帳篷升起。
《大帳蓬─想像力的避難所》紀錄了2004-2016年「台灣海筆子」帳篷行動在台的發展,及其後連帶至日本及北京等地的行動軌跡。隨著每一次計畫的發起與休止,櫻井大造與成員們對於帳篷劇場的思索、成員們生活與工作的變化,十年收摺為可以轉面攤開重新思索的地圖。而拍攝過程中,陳芯宜也從保持客觀距離的紀錄者,逐漸轉變為投入帳篷行動的參與者,進入帳篷的勞動工作:包括搭建帳篷、製作舞台、參與舞台美術等。
在試著整理這十多年來的影像後,《大帳蓬─想像力的避難所》更像個引子,既是對內也是對外的行動叩問,讓紀錄片的放映成為移動對話的廣場。
