畫壁The Painting on the Wall

The Painting on the Wall plunges the reader into the fantastical world of Chinese tales and reveals the ‘supernatural’ power of the art of painting. If different readings are possible, the ideas of illusion and transcendence are omnipresent in the work. Angelin Preljocaj has chosen to immerse himself in the heart of this unusual world. Without literally telling its story, he retains the Chinese tale as the source of a more contemporary adaptation.

《畫壁》讓讀者進入中國聊齋故事的幻想世界，原來繪畫具有一種「超自然」力量，要是從不同的角度來解讀，可以說這舞蹈充滿了虛幻之美和超越凡塵的想法，呼應原著「幻由人作」的主旨。柏歷加要沉浸在這不尋常的世界當中，但他並沒有如實搬演聊齋的故事，而是以之為出發點，改編成一齣當代舞蹈。
