新媒體藝術劇場|永生動物園 The Eternal Zoo
11/01 @ 7:00 下午 - 11/02 @ 3:00 下午
‖ 演出介紹 Performance Introduction ‖
《永生動物園》由藝術家張晏慈概念發展與執導創作,一場跨越結合數位科技、打擊樂與合成器音樂演出(廖海廷)、劇場AI視覺設計(李國漢)、以及舞蹈表演(廖思瑋)的新媒體藝術劇場作品。故事圍繞在人類與其他物種關係的探討,從動物園的觀看行為到對動物神化的想像,以臺灣梅花鹿、亞洲象林旺、臺灣黑熊與楊氏淺色小豹蛺蝶、臺灣雲豹等野生動物與圈養動物為對象,探討之於人類、之於地球生命的美學體驗與哲學反思。
「第一章:重生 Rebirth」描述臺灣梅花鹿的滅絕與重生。1969年左右在野外滅絕,1984年透過動物園育種,在墾丁放養,臺灣梅花鹿的重生之路,最初雖然是學者專家的縝密計畫,象徵人類返還自然的心意,如今或許反而造成林地環境等另一層問題。
「第二章:歡慶 Celebration」林旺在2003年長眠,許多臺灣民眾非常難過。林旺在二戰期間擔任運輸砲彈、糧食的工作,甚至軍隊移動到不同鄉村小鎮時,以表演獲取糧食與旅費。抵臺初期仍然在南部軍營,直到1954年,台北市立動物園將林旺接到台北,並且與另一頭大象配對「結婚」,受到民眾歡迎與祝福。
「第三章:崩坍的世界 A Collapsing World」啟發自紀錄片《一隻臺灣黑熊之死》以及臺灣被稱為「蝴蝶王國」的歷史。紀錄片描述了保育人員拯救落入陷阱的黑熊,與當地居民溝通的過程。最終黑熊死於獵人槍下,揭示了野生動物保育、法律規範、以及地方文化的衝突。捕蝶產業起源於日治時期,1960年代,蝴蝶加工業再度興起,前後共二十年間,出口數量達上億隻。隨著環境變遷、土地開發以及過度捕捉,許多臺灣特有品種消失滅絕。
「第四章:神獸 The Mythical Beast 」臺灣雲豹在列入保育類動物前就已經消逝,象徵著自然界的失衡與無法挽回的消亡。最後的場景展現了雲豹的意象,反思人類的復育行動,回到第一章,探討我們與自然環境間的複雜關係。
The Eternal Zoo is a new media art theater piece conceived and directed by artist Yen Tzu Chang. This innovative work combines digital technology, live percussion and synthesizer music (by Hai Ting Liao), theater-based AI visual design (by Kuo Han Lee) and dance performances (by Szu Wei Liao). The story explores the relationship between humans and other species, reflecting on themes from the way animals are observed in zoos to the mystic ideas of animals as symbols. The performance features wild and captive animals, including the Formosan sika deer, Asian elephant Lin Wang, Formosan black bear, the butterfly Ypthima formosana, and the Formosan clouded leopard, inviting philosophical and aesthetic contemplation on humanity’s role within the Earth’s ecosystem.
- Chapter 1: Rebirth – This segment portrays the extinction and resurgence of the Formosan sika deer. The species went extinct in the wild around 1969 and was reintroduced in 1984 through breeding efforts. While initially a carefully planned conservation effort symbolizing humanity’s commitment to nature, it has also brought new challenges, such as its impact on forest ecosystems.
- Chapter 2: Celebration – The story of Lin Wang, the beloved elephant who passed away in 2003, reflects the public’s deep connection with this creature. Lin Wang was known for his role in transporting supplies during World War II, and after settling in Taiwan, he was paired with another elephant in a symbolic “wedding” that delighted the public.
- Chapter 3: A Collapsing World – Inspired by the documentary The Death of a Formosan Black Bear, this chapter highlights conservation conflicts through the story of rescuing a black bear from a trap. It reveals the difficulties of wildlife conservation and the clash between local customs and modern regulations. Taiwan’s past as a “Kingdom of Butterflies” is also explored, touching on the butterfly export boom that ultimately led to the extinction of many unique Taiwanese species.
- Chapter 4: The Mythical Beast – Centered on the Formosan clouded leopard, which vanished before being listed as a protected species, this segment reflects the irreversible loss and imbalance in nature. It symbolically revisits humanity’s conservation efforts and returns to the complex relationship with the environment introduced in Chapter 1.
