露拉，出走中 Lula del Ray 手動影院 Manual Cinema 全新 ArtisTree New ArtisTree 27.10.2017

6:30pm, 9:00pm

露拉，出走中 Lula del Ray 結合投映技術、皮影戲、真人演出、現場音樂及電影技巧，手動影院團隊 為大家編織出一個獨一無二的、令人著迷的成長故事《露拉，出走中》！ 女孩露拉與母親住在沙漠中央的衛星天線站外。某一個晚上，當她仰望星 空時，收音機傳來鄉村音樂二人組 The Baden Brothers 的深情歌聲。為 見他們一面，露拉獨自離開家園、前往大都會，並隨之陷入充滿危機、欺 詐及失望的世界。 《露拉，出走中》故事背景設於 20 世紀中期的美國西南 部，創 作 靈 感 源 自 經 典 電 影 畫 面 及 三 位 美 國 已 故 唱 作 人 及 歌 手 Hank Williams、Roy Orbison 與 Patsy Cline 的音樂，以神話方式重新詮釋經典 成長故事。 Performing with overhead projectors, shadow puppets, actors in silhouette, live music and cinematic techniques, the talented crew of Manual Cinema creates a unique and entrancing hybrid form of live film.

Told almost entirely without dialogue, Lula del Ray recounts the story of a lonely adolescent girl growing up with her mother in an isolated trailer on the edge of a vast, desert satellite field. One night, while watching stars in the dark sky, she hears the songs of the soulful country duo The Baden Brothers on the radio. Obsessed by their music, she runs away from home, heading to the city and into a world of danger, deception and disappointment. Set in the American Southwest of the 1950s, the original, feature-length, live cinematic shadow puppet show Lula del Ray is a mythic reinvention of the classic coming-of-age story, inspired by the imagery of old films and the music of Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, and Patsy Cline.
