編舞家的話

我想深入探討當今的神話，以及未來的兒童故事。因此，我想找一種方式，透過孩子的眼光，也就是我的 孩子、我們的孩子，將成為現在與未來敘事者的他們，來閱讀一個大家熟知的故事。

為什麼？

《叢林奇譚》的故事一直讓我有切身感受。不只是因為小時候曾在印度舞蹈作品中扮演毛克利，更因為故 事中蘊含的三個深刻啟發，一直銘記在心。物種間的共通性、人類、動物與大自然之間的互相依賴，最後 則是家庭感與我們對歸屬感的需求。 人類生活在前所未有、充滿不確定的時代，地球上所有物種都如此。追根究柢是我們遺忘了與地球的關 係，我們居住於此、取用於此、文明發展於此，但我們忘了回以尊重。如果我們要看到更光明的未來，就 必須從根本改變，因此我有必要與所有文化背景的孩子與大人分享《叢林奇譚》，以重新瞭解我們無意間 遺忘的事物。而我認為講述這個故事最有力、最深刻的方式，就是透過舞蹈、音樂與戲劇的魔力。

故事是什麼？

這部作品追溯自魯德亞德．吉卜林的原版故事，但獨特之處是我自己對原版故事的詮釋。毛克利與原作中 大家熟知的角色，都會出現在全新原創音樂的新版製作中。

如何呈現？

我強烈意識到原作內的深刻訊息，但我也知道這些訊息對現今世界的影響力與意義。我一直相信，行動勝 於言語，因此我想以對氣候變遷的直接行動來創作。 氣候變遷持續不斷影響這顆美麗星球上的所有生物。那麼，我們要如何創作一部布景運用較少的作品，讓 巡迴演出時更輕便？自從疫情封鎖以來，我開始欣賞科技，在疫情以前並非如此。這單純只是因為科技讓 我能與親人、藝術團隊與更寬廣的世界保持聯繫。如果不使用科技，我會感到非常孤獨。 因此我想提出一個空的舞台──也就是沒有實體布景。為了做到這點，我探索了科技、投影與動態影像非 實體布景。我們不能忘記，好的故事往往可以用最簡單的工具講述。我們的身體、我們的聲音，以及我們 對那個故事的信念。

── 阿喀郎．汗

Akram Khan Company Jungle Book reimaged

Akram Khan on Jungle Book reimagined I want to dive into the myths of today, and children stories of tomorrow. Hence, I want to find a way to take a known, familiar story and observe it through the lens of today's children, my children, our children, who are and will become our present and future storytellers.

Why? The Jungle Book's story has always been close to me. Not only because I had played the role of Mowgli in an Indian dance production, as a young boy, but more because of the three deep lessons it held within it, that I have since carried with me throughout my life. The lessons of commonality between species, the binding interdependence between humans, animals and nature, and finally, a sense of family and our need to belong.

We are now living in unprecedented and uncertain times, not only for our species but for all species on this planet. And the root cause of this conundrum is because we have forgotten our connection to our home, our planet. We all inhabit it, we all take from it, and we all build on it, but we have forgotten to return our respect for it. So I believe that we must make changes from the grass roots up, if we are to see a brighter future. And so I feel compelled to share the story – lovingly known as The Jungle Book – with children and adults from all cultures, in order to re-learn what we, as a species, have so conveniently forgotten. And I believe that the strongest, and deepest way to tell this story is through the magic of dance, music and theatre.

What?

This production traces the original story by Rudyard Kipling, but this particular version is very much my own interpretation of the original. Mowgli and all the known characters from the original are in this new version, with a new original score

How? I am extremely conscious of the deep messages within the original work. But I am also aware of the potency and relevance of these messages for today's world. And I have always believed that, before words comes actions. So I decided to approach this production with a direct action towards climate change.

Climate change is and will continue to affect all living creatures on this beautiful planet. So then how do we create a work that uses less sets, so we can travel lighter when touring? Since lockdown, I have come to appreciate technology, in ways that I did not before COVID-19. And that's simply because it has allowed me to stay connected with my loved ones, my artistic team and the wider world. Without the use of technology, I would have felt truly alone.

And so, for Jungle Book reimagined, the stage is nearly empty – there is no traditional physical set. To achieve this, I explored the use of technology, projections and film as the non-physical set. We must not forget that most often, great storytelling can be told by the simplest of tools. Our bodies, our voices, and our conviction in that story. ― Akram Khan

水、動物、棄城：阿喀郎的末日叢林

──吳孟軒

《叢林奇譚》（Jungle Book）是諾貝爾文學獎得 主 魯 德 亞 德． 吉 卜 林（Rudyard Kipling） 在 19 世紀的經典之作，內容是關於一個人類孩童毛克 利（Mowgli）在印度叢林裡被狼群撫養長大的故 事，其中最令人印象深刻的，莫過於人與動物之 間的深刻情誼。此作曾多次被改編成漫畫、動畫 與電影，最為人所知的大概就是迪士尼動畫《森 林王子》，以及奇幻電影《與森林共舞》，而曾在 童年時期飾演毛克利的英國孟加拉裔編舞家阿喀 郎．汗（Akram Khan），在經歷 COVID 疫情對 全球的衝擊後，便想透過此曾經打動他的古老故 事，重新塑造屬於當代的童話寓言。

在《叢林奇譚》裡，阿喀郎使用了手繪風格的巨 幅投影、舞台物件與大編制的舞蹈編排，精心架 構起這人造的末日叢林，其中，阿喀郎舞作裡常 見的卡達克舞（Kathak）基本動作，例如線條感 豐富的繁複手勢、雙腿外開的微蹲與踩踏、細微 晃動的頭部動作，皆成為舞者詮釋動物時的主要 身體語彙。另外，12 位舞者也並非飾演特定的動 物角色，而更近似於叢林動物的綜合體：他們有 著狼群的低重心爬行，有著鳥類飄揚的羽翼，也 有著猿猴甩盪的雙臂，當搭配上舞作裡由電子合 成器混音的聲響與節奏，一段段的群舞場景便彷 彿是在敘說著生化動物們的降生、拉扯與哀愁。

氣候變遷、物種與人類的關係、科技的重要性， 便是阿喀郎重新詮釋《叢林奇譚》的主要切入點， 而根據戲劇顧問莎朗．克拉克（Sharon Clark） 的描述，水，是此次改編的關鍵要素：製作團隊 在重新想像這個故事時，正是從「多變的水世界」 開始的，畢竟水在現今的世界一方面是稀缺的資 源，卻也因全球暖化、海平面急遽上升，水竟也 在另一方面成為人類的巨大威脅。海、船、島、 洪水、乾旱，種種與水有關的想像，便貫穿了《叢 林奇譚》的敘事線：例如毛克利的父母為了逃離 乾旱的家園，便將全家藏在一艘巨大的船上； 又例如毛克利被潮水帶到一座已被廢棄的高地城 市，而從各處逃竄出來的動物，靠著對氣候與潮 汐的偵測本能，而稱霸這座棄城；也例如毛克利 在這個由極端氣候與動物所共治的反烏托邦城市 裡，被經驗豐富的動物盟友教導要如何聆聽水的 韻律與節奏，並以此對抗危險的敵人。

阿喀郎自 2019 年的獨舞《陌生人》後，便宣告 專職編創、從舞者生涯裡退休，當時退休的主因 之一便是為陪伴孩子。3 年後，《叢林奇譚》的 誕生依然是為了孩子：阿喀郎對於地球與生存環 境的危機感，在疫情期間達到高峰，這不僅讓他 迫切地想透過劇場的力量，引領觀眾反思人類群 體的未來，同時他也將對環保、永續的信念，落 實在此作的製作與巡演過程中，例如以投影取代 大型的舞台實景、部份舞台物件由當地場館在地 製作等方式，盡其所能地減少作品巡演所會耗費 的碳排放量。換言之，《叢林奇譚》從內容到製 作，或許都表彰了阿喀郎在面對人類未來的態度： 若人類註定成為如毛克利般的氣候難民，那至少 在現在，我們還能對這樣的命運，用盡全力地提 出堅定的拒絕。

阿喀郎．汗舞團

AKRAM KHAN COMPANY 1999 年 7 月在倫敦的伊莉莎白女王音樂廳的大廳，年輕有才華的編舞家暨舞者阿喀郎．汗與充滿抱負的 前舞者並甫取得學位的藝術經理人法魯克．喬迪里進行了一場熱烈及趣味十足的對話。這場談話奠定雙方 的合作及一年後創團創作的基石。

阿喀郎．汗早期接受印度古典卡達克舞蹈訓練，在青少年時期接觸當代舞蹈，兩種舞蹈形式的碰撞，自然 產出新的舞蹈風格。阿喀郎也渴望與各藝術領域的頂尖人士學習、合作與創作。

僅僅 22 年，阿喀郎．汗舞團已無庸置疑地被認定為世界上最創新的舞團之一。作品形式涵蓋卡達克舞蹈、 藝術家間合作的當代獨舞與群舞作品。舞團活躍於國際舞台上，也樂於巡演行程，藉此得以接觸世界各地

的文化與人群。阿喀郎．汗曾榮獲多項國際舞蹈獎項，其中最知名的便是 2012 年以《DESH》贏得的英 國勞倫斯．奧立佛獎。同時，參與 2012 年倫敦奧運的開幕式創作，更是舞團重要的里程碑。阿喀郎．汗 舞團長期與倫敦沙德勒之井劇院、萊斯特曲線劇院及世界各重要場館、藝術節密切合作。

In July 1999 in the foyer of the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London, an animated and curiosity-filled conversation took place between the young gifted dancer/choreographer Akram Khan and an ambitious former dancer and just recently graduated arts manager Farooq Chaudhry. That conversation laid the foundation stone for a dynamic collaboration, culminating in the creation of Akram Khan Company (AKC) one year later.

Inspired by Akram Khan’s early training in the Indian classical dance form kathak, and the hybrid language that organically emerged when Akram’s kathak training encountered contemporary dance in his teens, a vision began to form, fuelled by a desire to learn and create through collaboration with the very best people across all the disciplines in the arts.

In just over 22 years AKC is now undisputedly one of the foremost innovative dance companies in the world. The programmes range from kathak and modern solos to artist-to-artist collaborations and ensemble productions. The AKC has a major international presence and enjoys busy tours that reach out to many cultures and peoples across the globe. Akram Khan has been the recipient of numerous international dance awards, the most notable being an Olivier Award for his solo production DESH in 2012. A milestone in the AKC’s journey was the creation of a section of the London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2012. AKC enjoys artistic association with Sadler’s Wells Theatre in London, Curve in Leicester, and other leading venues and festivals around the world.
