2010.01 挪威沒有森林 (No)rwegian Wood rerun

Has it only been one year? And yet, in the past year we have all grown so much!

After a year, I'm seeing Haruka really digest Naoko, and come to discover a new core to this awkward, beautiful character. Meanwhile, Hin-yan is really stepping forth as an actor. We nudged him across the line from musician to actor in this very play, and the past year he's just waded deeper and deeper in this acting thing. It's great to see him develop a new sensibility in his body, and also beginning to share some of what he has learnt from the theatre work (body, voice warm ups) with his fellow activists. Meanwhile, Walter is glowing. I was never quite convinced he had nailed Toru last time, but now there is a new energy, new charisma, a new steadiness to his work. It's fascinating to be confronted with a character that you don't completely understand, and definitely an honour to be with someone on this search.

One year on, this time with a proper budget for set and time to tweak the ending....here we are again: a tale, inspired by the Murakami novel, directed by Adrian, of how there is no forest in Norway.

挪威根本沒有森林。


這不過是村上先生的誤譯，然後大家就約定俗成了一個幻想。但一想到會在這個沒有存在過的森林裹再遇到他，跟他一邊聽著披頭四一邊喝啤酒，總覺得不可思議。村上先生微笑不語，注視著啤酒的泡沫，把耳筒除低將ipod關上還給我，說這好像缺少了一點什麼。之後把啤酒喝完，摸著杯邊冰凍的水珠說謝謝了，很好喝的啤酒。而我的那杯還是原封不動。
這是我想像中跟村上先生最坦誠的對話。
以村上常用的二元平行敘事手法，渡邊遊走於直子和綠兩個虛構世界，火紅年代的日本對照著後六四的香港，訴說著一個挪威沒有森林的故事。
