Shakespeare's Wild Sisters Group
Big Band Species

The extinction of species, the loss of nations, the dying of languages, the ending of eras… if history is the sum of a series of vanishings, then when will humanity face extinction?

Using Darwin's On the Origin of Species as guiding coordinates, Director Wang Chia-ming expands on the ethnic character of contemporary ecological studies, beginning with the family histories of the actors themselves, while exploring the cultural aspects of ethnic migrations, he weaves together a portentous work of human destiny: from whence have those of us located on the same island come, and where will we go? We may not share a common past, but will we share a common future?

The performance is a continuation of Wang Chia-ming's signature complex audio-visual elements that deconstruct, amalgamate, adapt, and apply narrative textures. The rock band Elephant Gym has been invited to provide a rich theatrical format of unseen sound with their live math rock performances.

莎士比亞的妹妹們的劇團 《物種大樂團》

生物的絕跡，國度的消失，語言的失傳，時代的結束⋯⋯，如果歷史是一連串消逝的總和，那人類何時會面臨滅絕？

導演王嘉明以達爾文《物種起源》為座標，延伸近代生態學的族群質性，從演員本身家族史，同時探索文化面向上的族群遷移，由個人、家族，到民族與政治上的戰爭、內鬥與衝突，交織成一部人類命運的推測之作：身處同一座島嶼上的我們，從何處而來？將往何處去？沒有共同的過去，但，會不會有共同的未來？

演出延續王嘉明一貫繁複視聽元素、敘述肌理的拆解、混融、調度與運用，音樂邀來「大象體操」樂團現場演出，其數字搖滾風格，為不可見的聲音賦予豐厚的劇場形式。
