影片簡介

由草台班集體創作、趙川導演的《世界工廠》,以新穎的紀錄劇場形式,講述世界工廠最早從歐洲出現,到目前在中國發展中的時間、空間和變遷;並同時,交織了一位年輕人參與這出戲的創作過程中,個人的成長經驗。《世界工廠》的靈感來自趙川2009年的英國曼切斯特之行–那是英國工業革命重鎮之一,也是最早擁有「世界工廠」之名的城市。戲中十九世紀曼徹斯特的紡織業興起,以及同時相伴隨的革新思想和社會運動,為探討當代中國的急速變化,提供了一個起點和映照。從兩百年前的工業革命出發,至今,世界經歷無數變革,今天人們在生產、消費和發展中,卻仍延續著「世界工廠」的悲催歷史。在一次次歷史契機,和科技新潮的到來之際,工人們能否掌握自己的命運?而年輕一代,又該如何面對這延續了兩個世紀的艱難話題?這部民間視角的關於工人和工廠的戲,創作籌備長達4年,趙川不斷地走訪、對話,策劃工作坊和研討活動。它的內容,在2014年開始的集體創作和排演中又不斷推進、積累,至2016年,三年中發展出三個不同演出版本,在十幾個城市做相關演出、講座和研討會幾十場,形成不少討論。它也受邀在國內多個城市及戲劇節演出,並去過美國加州勞工節和斯坦福大學等作國際交流。

About

Grass Stage was founded in Shanghai in 2005, with Zhao Chuan as its mastermind, and has since accumulated followers and influence. Within a framework of the most basic “poor theatre”, works by Grass Stage use a diverse set of techniques, engendering powerful spaces for intellectual exchange. Grass Stage events made use of a wide range of venues and situations for performances and discussions, are not only spaces for bringing together diverse elements of society, but also provide, in a country relatively lacking in opportunities for public participation, a fluid and varied range of public social spaces.
