“我們?yōu)槭裁匆ミh(yuǎn)方？

我們?yōu)槭裁匆丶遥俊?/p>

一個(gè)中國(guó)女生帶著無(wú)限憧憬踏入美國(guó)，與在美經(jīng)商多年的哥哥團(tuán)聚，不料哥哥輝煌的事業(yè)背后卻暗藏玄機(jī)，而女主角自己也陷入了一段危險(xiǎn)的戀情。與此同時(shí)，美國(guó)環(huán)境署在紐約州發(fā)布警報(bào)，動(dòng)員全民捕殺流入哈德遜河的一外來(lái)物種以保護(hù)當(dāng)?shù)厣鷳B(tài)，而這個(gè)人人喊打的“危險(xiǎn)物種”在地球另一端卻有一個(gè)備受寵愛(ài)的名字——大閘蟹。今天與過(guò)去、故鄉(xiāng)與遠(yuǎn)方、現(xiàn)實(shí)與奇幻在這出劇中奇特地交織在一起，帶你從一個(gè)全新的角度去看待移民史：我們所謂的“家”到底是一個(gè)怎樣的概念——為什么我們都向往他方？為什么我們都懼怕外來(lái)者？

本劇跳脫早期移民寫(xiě)作的悲情路線，改以幽默犀利的口吻，描述不同文化對(duì)同一事件的想象落差，再帶入中國(guó)大閘蟹以“危險(xiǎn)物種”的身份登陸紐約，突顯不同族裔在現(xiàn)代都市大熔爐的生活大為不易。作品的元素非常原創(chuàng)生猛，語(yǔ)言掌握精密，跨文化雙關(guān)語(yǔ)運(yùn)用得機(jī)巧妙趣。卓劇場(chǎng)將嘗試以多語(yǔ)言演譯及各種演繹技巧，突顯故事當(dāng)中本地與外地間的矛盾沖突。

Why do we leave home?

Why do we go home?

Bearing infinite vision, a Chinese girl went to the United States to reunite with her brother who had been running business for many years. However, a mystery was hidden behind her brother’s brilliant career and the heroine herself also fell into a dangerous relationship. Meanwhile, a warning has been issued by the environment bureau of New York State, mobilizing all local citizens to kill an exotic species that flows into the Hudson River to protect the local ecosystem, but the Dangerous Species has a favorite name on the other side of the earth: hairy crab.Today and past, home and distant place, reality and fantasy all intertwined in this drama, taking you to observe the history of immigration from a new perspective: what is the concept of what we called Home——why do we all yearn for leaving home?Why are we all afraid of outsiders?

With a humorous and sharp tone, the drama, changing the pathos style of writing concerning early immigration, describes the difference of imagination from different cultures to the same event,followed by introduction of China’s hairy crabs landing New York as a dangerous creature, highlighting the life difficulty of diverse ethnic groups in modern metropolis. The elements of the works are of fierce originality, precise use of languages and cross cultural equivoques with wit and ingenuity. The Dirks Theatre shall try multilingual translations and various deductive techniques to feature the conflict between the local and nonlocal.
