關於黑眼睛跨劇團
以蒙面的墨西哥查巴達民族解放軍領袖馬訶士的眼睛作為標誌，汲取其「革命」精神，由詩人、電影及劇場導演、策展人、藝評等多重身份的鴻鴻，於2004年結束「密獵者」之後，2009年創立「黑眼睛跨劇團」。
以戲劇為主體的「黑眼睛跨劇團」，積極嘗試各種跨領域、跨文化、跨時空行動，試圖接軌藝術實驗與大眾趣味，以多年經驗做小型劇場的累積，朝中、大型劇場的製作及推廣；一方面引介當代世界劇壇富挑戰性的重要劇作，一方面培植台灣的新生代創意人才。
劇團作品均針對當代社會的議題及禁忌，提供省思的出發點，並藉由大眾流行文化語彙企圖打破劇場觀看的藩籬。其代表作如《醜男子》、《跳舞吧！胖女孩》、《維妮
音樂劇場》一系列作品均挑戰表象美的主流價值觀，《黑鳥》是對不倫的道德審判之重估。《電子城市》反省資本主義全球化所產生的問題，《Taiwan 365─永遠的一天》、《活小孩》、《換屋計畫》以魔幻寫實手法重新記錄當代台灣的在地事物與人生經歷。

劇團也著重提供年輕創作者創作平台，並以劇展方式企圖補足台灣劇場演出內容的空缺，籌劃各種不同主題與形式之系列演出，如《現代劇場大補帖》、《路人開根號》、《九歌3X3》、《胖節》等等，拓展創作可能性。目前已有陳雅柔、廖金旺、陳曉潔、黃郁晴、簡莉穎、李銘宸等新銳創作者，在劇團支持下，共同激發出精彩的編導與策展作品。
除翻譯籌演來自歐陸的當代經典劇作，劇團同時也致力引介國際創作者來台演出。創團時即邀請日本先鋒劇場流山兒事務所來台演出《高級生活》一劇，又於2012年邀請享譽歐美的圖博歌手葛莎雀吉、圖博表演藝術學院與流亡印度的Gu-Chu-Sum政治犯劇團來台公演，並協助辦理香港跳格舞蹈錄像展在台公映，擴大台灣觀眾表演藝術視野。
2014年「黑眼睛跨劇團」將承襲創團五年來的作品精神，邀集多組台灣當代別具特色的劇團與各領域藝術家，共同詮釋出台灣劇場版的全本《尼貝龍指環》，含括演出、展覽、講座等多角化內容，獲國家文化藝術基金會「表演藝術追求卓越專案」最高肯定，企圖呈現劇場藝術節的宏觀視野與創作企圖。

未來「黑眼睛跨劇團」將秉持提供良性創作空間之宗旨，持續籌劃多樣表演藝術活動，期許作為打開亞洲黑瞳，觀看世界之窗的媒介。

About Dark Eyes Performance Lab
Dark Eyes Performance Lab uses the eyes
of Subcomandante Marcos, leader of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation
(EZLN) as their symbol, drawing on the emblematic significance of his “revolutionary spirit.” And the founder of Dark Eyes Performance Lab, Hung Hung, is a revolutionary figure as well in
terms of his multiple identities as a poet, a film and theatre director, a
curator as well as an art critic. He
founded Dark Eyes Performance Lab in 2009.
Theatre is the main focus of Dark Eyes Performance Lab and its means
to bridge the gap between artistic experiment and the preference of general
public through a wide range of cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural performance
arts. With years of experiences in
small-scale experimental theatre, Dark Eyes Performance Lab is now producing
and promoting larger shows to introduce the world-famous plays as well as to
cultivate new generation of talents in Taiwan.
Dark
Eyes Performance Lab creates performances that address social issues and
taboos. By using the language of popular
culture, it attempts to break barriers in performing arts. Notable works include: The
Ugly One , Jump! BIG Girl! and Winnie
the
Boob- these
works challenge modern culture’s emphasis on outer appearances. Blackbird was a piece re-evaluated revaluation of the
judgment of immoral behavior. Electronic City touched upon issue of capitalism and globalization. Taiwan
365 -- Eternity of a Day and Alive
and Kicking, as well as Das
Zauberhaus: The Terrace and The Phantom of Liberty employed magic
realism to record and reiterate the local history of events and people of contemporary Taiwan.
In addition, the Lab
focuses on providing young artists a platform for conducting their creative works and organized
theatre festivals to help fill a
gap in Taiwan’s performing arts scene. Through a wide array of themes and forms,
such as A Tribute to Modern Theater, The
Square Root of Passersby, The Poetry of Gods, and Faaaaat Festival, it expands the
horizons of creative works. With the
hearty support of the Lab, many emerging artists, including Chen Ya-Rou, Liao Jin-Wang, Chen Xiao-Jie, Huang
Yu-Qing, Jian Li-Ying, and Li Ming-Chen, are able to collaborate, create and curate
incredible works together.
Aside
from adapting and showcasing representative
contemporary plays from the West, the Performance Lab also invites
well-known theatre groups from aboard. Among
them, Ryuzanji Company, the studio of
Japanese playwright Sho Ryuzanji, was invited to
perform the piece High Life for the first time in Taiwan.
In 2012, Tibetan singer, Kelsang Chukie Tethong, Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts and the group of the Gu-Chu-Sum Movement from Dharamsala were also invited to perform in Taiwan. We also helped introduce Hong
Kong’s Jumping Frames Dance Video Festival to Taiwan in hopes of expanding the scope of local performing arts.
In
2014, Dark Eyes Performance Lab will continue
to promote its revolutionary spirit and collaborate with a wide range of local theatre groups and
artists from various fields to create
a Taiwanese version of Der
Ring des Nibelungen: A Revolution Unarmed, which will encompass
a multifaceted undertaking, such as performances, exhibitions, seminars, and so
on. Sponsored by the National Culture and Arts Foundation under the “Pursuit of
Excellence Project for the Performing Arts,” this collaborative project will
demonstrate the grand vision and creative aspiration of the theatre scene.
In the
future, Dark Eyes Performance Lab will
hold fast to the principle of fostering an encouraging environment for
creativity, continue to produce a wide diversity of performances, and aspire to
create an Asian perspective, a lens through which we can view the whole world.
