《Yet Another Day In Paradise》
創作團隊 Creative Team
Lukas Karvelis，1997年生，是一位立陶宛籍舞蹈藝術家，目前居住在阿姆斯特丹。2019年，他在Jiri Kylian基金會獎學金的支持下從Codarts藝術大學畢業，隨後開始與丹麥皇家劇院、慕尼黑室內劇院、Dansatelier的表演團隊、和科索劇院合作。
在他的藝術作品中，Karvelis試圖找到身體在社會和個人創傷中發生變化的關鍵點。這一點引導他在動作中進行研究，並以對過去的好奇心來檢視這些時刻。他目前將這種動作探索與成癮的社會現象聯繫起來，並與身體和心靈相關聯。
他的編舞作品曾多次在葡萄牙的O Espaço do Tempo、Atelier de Paris / CDCN、Arts Printing House、Cetro Coreografico Gomera、和 Teatri Di Vita 獲得駐地創作機會。Karvelis在2020年獲得Piket Kunst Award提名，並於2023年獲得立陶宛文化部頒發的青年藝術家獎。
Lukas Karvelis (1997) is a Lithuanian dance artist currently based in Amsterdam. Upon graduating from Codarts in 2019 on a Jiri Kylian Foundation scholarship, he began collaborating with Royal Danish theatre, Münich Kammerspiele, Dansatelier’s crew and Korzo Theater.
In his artistic work, Karvelis seeks to find this crucial point at which change occurs within the body as it diverges away from trauma within society and oneself. This point leads to research within the movement as he examines these moments with a curiosity about the past. He is currently linking this movement exploration to the social phenomenon of addiction, correlating to the body and mind.
His own choreographic work has received multiple residencies at O Espaço do Tempo, Portigal, Atelier de Paris/ CDCN, the Arts Printing House, Cetro Coreografico Gomera and Teatri Di Vita. Karvelis was nominated for the Piket Kunst Award in 2020 and received young artist award from Lithuanian ministry of culture in 2023.
節目介紹 Program Introduction
《Yet Another Day in Paradise》是一部當代舞蹈表演，探討過去如何影響我們建立當前關係的方式。兩位主角在相互依賴的同時，努力尋找各自的軸心。他們緊緊擁抱在一起，比接吻的距離還要更近更緊密，試圖在一塊滑板上保持平衡。他們在無盡的運動中旋轉，經歷著接受與拒絕。他們的動作成為人類精神韌性的體現，深刻反映了親密關係的複雜性，以及對連結的永恆追求。
“Yet Another Day in Paradise” is a contemporary dance performance that analyses how the past influences our way of forming current relationships. The two protagonists are trying to find their own individual axis while being dependent on each other. They embrace each other very closely—closer and tighter than kissing distance—as they try to stay balanced atop a single skateboard. They are circling in endless motion, experiencing both acceptance and rejection. Their movements become a manifestation of resilience of the human spirit, a poignant reflection of the intricacies of intimacy, and the eternal quest for connection.

《LOUNGE》

Marga Alfeirão
1994年生於里斯本，利用媒介通過舞蹈和表演打造安全空間，以探索親密關係和性。她深受非洲散居社群在里斯本社會結構中傳播的舞蹈風格和聲音質感的影響，深入探討女性的秘密與揭示。她的首部作品《Lounge》是一個女同性戀鋪床舞雙人舞，並於2023年獲得ImPulsTanz青年編舞獎。
Marga Alfeirão (Lisbon,1994) uses media to carve safe spaces for the exploration of intimacy and sexuality through dance and performance. Heavily influenced by dance-genres and sound textures from the african diaspora disseminated through Lisbon’s social tissue, she delves into secrecy and disclosure of the feminine. Her first work Lounge – a lesbian lap dance duet – was awarded with the ImPulsTanz – Young Choreographers' Award 2023.
節目介紹 Program Introduction
Lounge這個詞既是動詞，意指以放鬆的方式坐或躺，也是名詞，指人們可以放鬆的公共房間。Lounging既是一種行為也是一個所在，是你塑造、居住並享受的空間。這種休息、等待、移動和被移動的雙重性質是這部作品的核心。
《Lounge》是一部為兩位自我認同為女性的表演者設計的雙人舞作品。她們共同在主動和被動休息的狀態中移動，從躺臥和擺姿勢轉變為在重複動作的持續中尋找樂趣。這裡，《Lounge》作為一個公共而非孤立的空間也很重要。表演者利用彼此的存在深入自我和氛圍。作品中滲透著「隱形膝上舞」的概念，這是一種由小而幾乎不可察覺的舞蹈組成的形式，利用凝視來模糊施與者和接受者之間的界限。這種編舞策略突顯並探討了舞者與觀眾、公共與私人、觀看與被觀看之間的關係。感官性是這部作品的核心，因此氛圍也同樣重要。燈光和音樂滋養並支撐著，成為可以依靠的肩膀，成為舞者可以坐下的膝上。
通過依賴感官和建立共同體，《Lounge》觸及了將休息作為女性身份主動宣示的舒適感。天堂或許近在咫尺，但你慢慢等，並不著急。你依靠在期待裡，流連於感受中。安眠、平靜、好好去睡的話語聲聲喚著。這個過渡空間為你做好準備。我需要你的膝蓋一會兒。你能幫我一個忙嗎？你也可以坐在我的膝上或把頭靠在上面休息。我可以在你耳邊唱搖籃曲，然後在你面前抱怨。某種感受可能會掉在你的膝上，沒關係，我們可以chill一下。
The word “lounge” is both a verb, meaning to sit or lie in a relaxed way, and a noun, meaning a public room where people may relax. Lounging is both an action and a place, a space that you shape and inhabit and savour. This dual nature of rest, of waiting, of moving and being moved, is at the heart of this piece.
Lounge is a duet for two female-identifying bodies. Together they move through states of active and passive rest, shifting from reclining and positioning themselves, to finding pleasure in the duration of repetitive motions. The lounge as a public as opposed to solitary space is also important here. The performers use each other’s presence to go deeper into themselves and into the vibe. Permeating the piece is the notion of the Invisible Lapdance, consisting of small, nearly imperceptible dances that use the gaze to blur the borders between the giver and receiver. This choreographic strategy highlights and interrogates the relationship between dancer and audience, public and private, seeing and being seen. Sensuality is integral to this piece, and consequently so too is the atmosphere. The light and music nourish and sustain, a shoulder to lean on, a lap upon which the dancers can sit.
By relying on erotics and building togetherness, Lounge taps into the comfort of rest as an active claim of womanhood. Heaven might be a place on earth but you are in the waiting room and not in a rush. You lean into expectation and linger in sensation. The promise of eternal rest, peace, and blissful sleep is beckoning. This transitory space prepares you for it. I needed your lap for a little. Could you give me a hand? You could also sit on my lap or lay your head on it and rest. I can sing lullabies at your ear and later whine on your face. It might fall on your lap and that’s ok, we can chill.
