CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTES
編舞的話
The life of Coco Chanel is a rags-to-riches story which lends itself perfectly to being told through the medium of dance. Whereas many ballet heroines are created as a convenient love interest for a male character, I discovered in Chanel a strong woman of great talent, full of complexities and conflicting desires. Starting from poor beginnings, Chanel worked her way to the top of her profession to become the most visionary, creative and iconic fashion designer of modern times. Finding the nuances in her story and choosing which aspects of her life would be danceable and theatrically interesting was an inviting challenge for me and my team.
Each scene serves as a piece of a kaleidoscope that unveils who Coco Chanel is and what makes her iconic. We chose to develop three themes: the transformation of the poverty-stricken Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel into the rich and famous designer and businesswoman Coco Chanel; her dramatic, ground breaking transformation of the female silhouette through the years; and the loss of the great love of her life, Boy Capel.
All her life, from a very young age, Coco was dedicated to being totally independent. She refused to be owned. Her fashion liberated women, giving them freedom from traditionally restrictive clothing, and at the same time, her simple, elegant clothes gave women a seductive power attractive to men. She herself loved seducing men, although only on her own terms. Complications often arose when she had to accept funding from the men in her life.
Throughout the ballet, we are aware of the driving force of Shadow-Chanel, the ambitious and determined side of Coco. Translating Chanel’s long life into dance has been a fascinating journey. I like challenges, and it was not easy to find ways to tell this story but I would not be a choreographer if it was an easy task. It is the unknown and the challenges which keep me going.
香奈兒白手興家的傳奇故事，非常 適合改編成為舞劇。儘管許多芭蕾 舞劇的女主角都是根據男性角色 的喜好而創作，但香奈兒卻是一位 才華洋溢的堅強女性，心中充滿複 雜想法以及相互矛盾的個人慾望。 出身貧困的香奈兒一路攀上事業 巔峰，最後成為近代最具卓見和創 意的時裝設計代表。對我和團隊而 言，尋找她人生中的微妙故事，並 選擇合適的部分改編成為芭蕾舞劇 不僅充滿挑戰性，而且非常有趣。
每個場景都是香奈兒多姿多彩的人 生縮影，不但揭示了她的個性，也 道出了她成為潮流標誌的原因。我 們特意挑選了三大主題：受貧窮所 困的香奈兒搖身一變成為時裝界 翹楚的心路歷程；多年來，她如何 重新定義女性時裝，為女士們勾勒 出劃時代的嶄新輪廓；以及她痛失 摯愛卡柏所帶來的影響。
香奈兒自小便致力追求獨立自主， 拒絕受他人控制。她的時裝讓女性 擺脫傳統束縛，展現自我。同時，她 簡約大方的服裝設計，也讓女性散 發時尚魅力，迷到眾生。個人而言， 她喜愛誘惑男性以達到目的，卻屢 次因為需要對方資助而導致感情關 係更趨複雜。
在整部芭蕾舞劇中，我們會看到香 奈兒的影子以堅定不移的雄心壯志 鞭策現實中的自己。將香奈兒漫長 的一生改編成芭蕾舞劇的過程扣 人心弦，儘管尋找合適的敘事手法 殊不簡單，但我還是非常滿足於這 次挑戰。而且，正因為前所未有的 考驗驅使我迎難而上，邁步向前， 才成就我今天成為一位編舞。

PROLOGUE 序幕
We see young Coco, a penniless seamstress, sewing garments of the rich and fashionable in order to survive. She is observed from a distance by her future self, Shadow-Chanel.
一位年輕的女裁縫，為了生計而替有錢人和時尚 達人縫製衣服。這位身無分文的少女名字叫香奈 兒。她未來的自己化作影子從遠處觀察着她的一 舉一動。
ACT I 第一幕 CABARET 歌舞表演
Coco and her sister Julia dance for their supper in a noisy Parisian bistro, receiving cash for their efforts. Balsan, a wealthy man, notices Coco and tries to seduce her. At first, Coco resists, but Shadow-Chanel urges her to dance with him, showing her a way out of poverty into a world of luxury and power.
為了糊口，香奈兒和姐姐茱莉亞在一家嘈雜的巴 黎小酒館內跳舞表演，而她們的努力亦得到回 報。富有的巴爾森留意到香奈兒的美態，便試圖 令對方愛上自己。起初，香奈兒不為所動，但影 子力勸她與巴爾森一起跳舞，並向她展示如何擺 脫貧困，擠身奢華和權力世界。
LIFE WITH BALSAN 與巴爾森的生活
As simple chairs become exquisite chandeliers, Balsan’s world appears. Shadow-Chanel convinces Coco to visit Balsan’s manor, where a huge party is underway. The party guests find Coco, this strangely dressed outsider, a curiosity. Soon the party descends into wild and drunken behaviour, but Boy Capel emerges as a vision of calm and gentleness.
隨着樸素的椅子變成華美的水晶吊燈，巴爾森的 世界便呈現眼前。香奈兒被未來的自己說服，前 往巴爾森的莊園。那裏正在舉辦盛大的派對，來 賓看到香奈兒後覺得她的衣著十分奇怪，便對這 位圈外人感到好奇。未幾，一眾賓客酩酊大醉， 派對陷入狂歡狀態，但形象彬彬有禮的卡柏卻以 平靜的姿態出現。
HATS 帽子
Chanel starts her design career by creating hats. Actress Dorziat comes to visit and has her silhouette dramatically transformed by the hand of the designer herself. Coco’s reputation grows. Capel offers to help Coco buy her own shop. Not wanting to lose her independence, she refuses, but Shadow-Chanel convinces her to accept his offer.
香奈兒透過製作帽子而展開設計生涯。蒞臨參觀 的女演員多扎特在戴上香奈兒親手設計的帽子 後華麗變身，展現出迷人輪廓，香奈兒亦隨之漸 冒頭角。卡柏提議幫助香奈兒開辦私人商店。由 於不想失去自主權，香奈兒拒絕了卡柏的好意， 但影子隨後又成功說服香奈兒改變初衷。

DEAUVILLE 多維爾
Inspired by male clothing she sees on the streets of Deauville, Coco creates sailor-inspired outfits for women that will become all the rage in the 1920s. She is overjoyed when Balsan and Boy Capel buy her a shop. The two men are now clearly in competition for Coco’s attention. However, they eventually leave to re-join their upper-class world, and she is left alone and lonely. Shadow-Chanel reminds her that nothing should distract from her real calling. Work is the answer.
香奈兒從多維爾街頭的男士服飾獲得啟發，設 計出以水手服為靈感的女士服裝，此系列服裝在 1920 年代風靡一時。巴爾森和卡柏為香奈兒開 設商店，讓她感到欣喜若狂。顯然，這兩位男士 正在爭奪香奈兒的芳心。然而，他們最終卻離她 而去，重返上流社會，留下香奈兒孤獨一人。影子 提醒香奈兒不要讓任何事情分散注意力，時裝設 計才是她的真正使命。
COCO’S EMPIRE 香奈兒的時尚帝國
As she oversees her army of seamstresses, Coco is tough and demanding. Actress Dorziat gets another transformation into one of Coco’s signature garments. Her fame grows. Boy Capel applauds her success, and they dance their love for each other.
在香奈兒的領導之下，其女裁縫大軍日益強大， 而香奈兒自身亦變得強悍苛刻。女演員多扎特 再次穿上香奈兒的標誌服裝，迎來另一次華麗變 身，進一步令香奈兒聲名大噪。卡柏為香奈兒的 成功鼓掌，兩人也為彼此的愛而歡欣起舞。

CHANEL NO. 5
香奈兒 5 號
Five groups of flower ladies dance. Which one will be chosen as Chanel’s perfume scent?
Wertheimer, a businessman who is interested in financing the perfume, has a business proposal for Coco.
Shadow-Chanel encourages Coco to accept the deal – something she will regret her whole life since Wertheimer now owns 70% of all income from Chanel No. 5.
五組賣花女翩翩起舞，哪一組會被香奈兒選中， 為香水供應花朵呢？
有興趣資助該香水項目的商人維德摩爾向香奈 兒提出商業建議。影子鼓勵香奈兒接受交易，但 這決定將讓她後悔終生，因為維德摩爾未來擁有 香奈兒 5 號的七成收入。
THE LOGO 標誌
There are a few myths about the origins of the famous Chanel logo. According to the French brand, Chanel designed the interlocking Cs in 1925 as an homage to a monastery in Aubazine where she spent most of her childhood. A more romantic myth posits that the two C’s represent the first letters of Chanel and Boy Capel, her business partner and love of her life.
香奈兒的品牌標誌舉世知名，但其起源卻眾說紛 紜。根據此法國品牌的說法，香奈兒於 1925 年 設計出雙 C 標誌，並以此對歐巴濟訥的某座修道 院致敬，藉以記念她在那裏所度過的童年時光。 另一個較浪漫的說法，則指兩個 C 字是香奈兒及 其商業拍檔兼一生摯愛卡柏的姓氏字首縮寫。
LOSS 喪偶
In 1919, Boy Capel dies tragically in a car crash.
1919 年，卡柏在一場車禍中不幸辭世。
INTERMISSION 中場休息 ACT II 第二幕
MOVING ON AND STRAVINSKY 放下過去與史特拉汶斯基
Devastated by the sudden loss, Coco mourns Boy Capel but eventually realises that she needs to move on. When she meets Igor Stravinsky, she is so enamoured by his creativity and talent that she commits to funding his iconic The Rite of Spring. Their short-lived love affair comes to an end by the reality of Stravinsky's wife and children. Once again, Coco faces solitude but is urged by Shadow-Chanel to dive deeply into her work and grow the Chanel empire.
突然痛失摯愛，香奈兒悲痛欲絕。她為卡柏的離 去而哀悼，但最後意識到自己要繼續努力生活 下去。當她遇到史特拉汶斯基後，深受對方的才 華創意所吸引，並承諾資助其破天荒之作《春之 祭》。他們短暫的戀情因史特拉汶斯基妻兒的出 現而告終。香奈兒再次落入孤寂之中，但影子敦 促她潛心工作，致力發展其時裝帝國。

THE WAR YEARS 大戰之年
When France is occupied during World War II, Chanel closes her shop and lives the high life at the Paris Ritz Hotel. She mingles with the Nazis and starts a romance with a senior Nazi officer, Baron von Dinklage. Using the Aryanization laws that target Jewish-owned businesses, Chanel denounces her business partner Wertheimer in order to regain control of her perfume No. 5. Unfortunately, Wertheimer had anticipated German seizing laws and sold the company to a Frenchman for the duration of the war.
法國在第二次世界大戰期間遭受佔領。香奈兒將 商店關閉，並在巴黎麗思飯店過着浮華生活。她 與納粹德軍打成一片，更與高級軍官丁克拉格男 爵展開戀情。香奈兒利用針對猶太人企業的雅 利安法告發商業夥伴維德摩爾，藉以重奪香奈兒 5 號香水的擁有權。不幸的是，維德摩爾早已料 到德國會立法沒收猶太人企業，因此在戰爭爆發 前已將公司賣給了一位法國人。
EXILE AND THE NOUVELLE VAGUE 流亡與新浪潮
After the war, Coco is rejected by Parisian society for her association with the Nazis. She flees to Switzerland and lives in exile for eight years. Meanwhile in Paris, her perfume No. 5 remains a huge success, even as the city streets fill up with Christian Dior’s Nouvelle Vague fashion.
Chanel is distressed by the popularity of this new silhouette with its yards of superfluous fabric and a tight waistline.
戰後，香奈兒因與納粹份子合作而遭受抵制。 她逃到瑞士，並在那裏過了8 年的流亡生活。與 此同時，雖然香奈兒 5 號香水在巴黎依舊備受 推崇，然而巴黎街頭卻滿眼盡是克里斯汀．迪奧 （Christian Dior ）的新浪潮時裝。
香奈兒對含過多的纖維材料和緊身的腰線剪裁 之新流行款式感到懊惱。
THE COMEBACK 強勢回歸
Coco has a nightmare-ish vision where she and her team rip the Dior dresses off all the women. Satisfied, Coco puts the women back into her signature look and silhouette. Her comeback is funded by her former partner and now nemesis Wertheimer. Finally, she becomes the icon that was her destiny. In the distance, Boy Capel watches over her.
香奈兒置身噩夢般的幻境中，看到自己和團隊成 員扯下女士們身上的Dior長裙。香奈兒稱心滿意 地為女士們重新穿上其剪裁利落的經典服飾。 她的復出之作由前任拍檔兼現任宿敵維德摩爾 資助。最終，香奈兒循着命運的引領成為時尚標 誌；卡柏則在遠處守望着她。

COCO CHANEL'S MONOLOGUE 香奈兒的獨白
Je n’aime pas l’extravagance
J’enlève, j’enlève tout ce que j’ai mis et que je trouve inutile
La mode, c’est en avant, ce n’est pas en arrière
On ne recule pas
On ne fait pas les choses que l’on fit
Il faut vivre avec son époque
Tout le monde ne comprend pas
Je trouve que les femmes sont toujours trop habillées
Et qu’elles ne sont jamais assez élégantes
C’est très difficile
Permettre aux femmes de bouger aisément
Ne pas se sentir déguisées
Ne pas changer d’attitude
De manière d’être
Selon la robe dans laquelle on les a fourrées
C’est très difficile
Je n’aime pas l’extravagance
我不喜歡浮誇
我脫掉，我脫掉所有我認為不必要的衣服 時尚是向前的，它不會倒退
我們不走回頭路
我們不做已經做過的
我們必須與時俱進
這不是每個人都能理解
我認為女人總是被過度裝飾
她們總是不夠優雅
很難去...
讓女人行動自如 讓女人不再需要偽裝
不去改變她們的態度
她們的生活方式
這取決於她們所穿的衣服
很難
我不喜歡浮誇
I don’t like extravagance
I take away, I take away everything that I put on and that I find useless
Fashion means going forward, not backwards
You don’t move back
You don’t do things that we’ve already done
You have to keep up with the times
Not everybody understands
I find that women are always overdressed
And that they are never elegant enough
It is very difficult
To allow women to move with ease
To not feel disguised
To not change their attitudes
Or way of being
According to the dress in which they have been stuffed
It is very difficult
I don’t like extravagance
