4月12日至17日，澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)一行14人在中國(guó)劇協(xié)會(huì)員、澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)鄭繼生的率領(lǐng)下在北京進(jìn)行交流演出。4月14日和16日晚，交流團(tuán)分別在北京青藍(lán)劇場(chǎng)和中國(guó)人民大學(xué)學(xué)生活動(dòng)中心劇場(chǎng)演出了舞臺(tái)實(shí)驗(yàn)話劇《莊周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》，并訪問了中國(guó)文聯(lián)、中國(guó)人民大學(xué)、中國(guó)戲曲學(xué)院等單位，參觀了中國(guó)國(guó)家博物館、大興區(qū)星光影視園等機(jī)構(gòu)，各項(xiàng)活動(dòng)取得了圓滿成功。本次活動(dòng)由中國(guó)文學(xué)藝術(shù)基金會(huì)、澳門基金會(huì)資助，中國(guó)文聯(lián)港澳臺(tái)辦公室、中國(guó)人民大學(xué)港澳臺(tái)辦公室、澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)主辦。

舞臺(tái)實(shí)驗(yàn)話劇《莊周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》是鄭繼生改編執(zhí)導(dǎo)的一部作品，也是澳門本土華語戲劇代表性作品之一。1999年澳門回歸前后，由澳門著名的華語戲劇社團(tuán)曉角劇社在澳門文化中心劇場(chǎng)首演，同年曾代表澳門赴葡萄牙伊斯達(dá)利亞戲劇節(jié)演出，受到廣泛好評(píng)?！肚f周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》故事取自明代馮夢(mèng)龍的通俗小說《莊周試妻》，改編者以現(xiàn)代人視角和情懷，重新詮釋和探討女性在社會(huì)中的角色與地位。該劇以非寫實(shí)的藝術(shù)手法，運(yùn)用燈光音響等藝術(shù)手段，加之炫彩的裝置和舞美，演繹一個(gè)古老的中國(guó)故事，直指人性中的弱點(diǎn)和幽暗，喚起觀眾對(duì)于自身的省思。

2017年初，澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)重新排演此劇，新的創(chuàng)作團(tuán)隊(duì)集中了澳門戲劇、舞美、音樂、表演界的優(yōu)秀青年藝術(shù)家和藝術(shù)愛好者，整個(gè)創(chuàng)作團(tuán)隊(duì)年齡在30歲左右。2017年2月在澳門戲劇農(nóng)莊黑盒劇場(chǎng)演出數(shù)場(chǎng)。此次澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)在北京舞臺(tái)上用普通話表演《莊周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》，不僅是對(duì)澳門青年藝術(shù)家一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)和檢驗(yàn)，更向北京觀眾展示澳門青年本土藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作成果。

在演出之后的座談交流中，各位嘉賓和觀眾代表充分肯定了《莊周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》所蘊(yùn)含的中國(guó)文化情結(jié)以及在舞美、音樂、表演方面的探索實(shí)踐，認(rèn)為該劇將中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中一個(gè)古老的傳說故事加以演繹，從多個(gè)層次探討了個(gè)人在社會(huì)中的多重角色以及種種困擾糾結(jié)，具有很強(qiáng)的藝術(shù)張力。在舞臺(tái)上，簡(jiǎn)潔炫彩的布景裝置、精心設(shè)計(jì)的音樂舞美和演員充滿情感的表演，充分體現(xiàn)出了澳門中西文化交融的城市文化特征。該劇在北京上演有助于增進(jìn)北京青年藝術(shù)界對(duì)于澳門本土戲劇的了解，有助于推進(jìn)澳門與內(nèi)地青年之間的藝術(shù)交流與合作。

澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)成立于2012年，是澳門青年藝術(shù)工作者和青年藝術(shù)愛好者的聯(lián)誼組織，會(huì)員包括戲劇、舞蹈、音樂、美術(shù)、電影、攝影、漫畫、設(shè)計(jì)等方面的青年藝術(shù)工作者，都是澳門藝術(shù)界的青年骨干。此次是澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)成立以來第一次來北京交流演出。

在京期間，澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)一行參訪了中國(guó)文聯(lián)、中國(guó)人民大學(xué)、中國(guó)戲曲學(xué)院等單位，參觀了中國(guó)文聯(lián)發(fā)展史展覽，觀摩了中國(guó)戲曲學(xué)院京劇系學(xué)生排演，使澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)一行增進(jìn)了對(duì)于中國(guó)歷史文化、中國(guó)戲曲藝術(shù)和北京影視藝術(shù)發(fā)展的直觀了解和深切感受，增加了對(duì)于中國(guó)歷史文化藝術(shù)的認(rèn)知和感悟，提升了推動(dòng)澳門中華藝術(shù)文化發(fā)展、推動(dòng)澳門與內(nèi)地青年之間文化藝術(shù)交流的責(zé)任和動(dòng)力。中國(guó)文聯(lián)港澳臺(tái)辦公室主任董占順表示，歡迎更多澳門青年藝術(shù)家和藝術(shù)愛好者來內(nèi)地交流訪問，并愿意為培訓(xùn)澳門青年藝術(shù)人才，幫助澳門青年學(xué)習(xí)中國(guó)戲曲藝術(shù)提供支持。

澳門青年藝術(shù)發(fā)展協(xié)會(huì)會(huì)長(zhǎng)、《莊周蝴蝶夢(mèng)》編劇、導(dǎo)演鄭繼生表示，這次北京的交流演出收獲很大，交流了藝術(shù)，結(jié)識(shí)了朋友，看到了差距，增強(qiáng)了動(dòng)力，今后將繼續(xù)努力做好澳門青年藝術(shù)家和藝術(shù)愛好者的團(tuán)結(jié)聯(lián)誼工作，并在中國(guó)文聯(lián)的支持下進(jìn)一步推動(dòng)澳門與內(nèi)地青年之間的文化藝術(shù)交流，使中華文化在澳門這個(gè)“一國(guó)兩制”實(shí)踐熱土綻放出更加絢麗的光彩。
