〔記者董柏廷/專訪〕法國戶外大作《大象來了……》在士林基河路登場,不僅為台北藝術節揭開序幕,更成為台北表演藝術中心全面檢驗場館「公共性」的重要契機。北藝中心董事長王文儀接受專訪時指出,北藝的核心宗旨是讓所有人都有機會接觸表演藝術,都會區空間緊湊,但藝術不需要害怕城市的複雜性,「劇場大門打開還不夠,既要把觀眾帶進來,也得主動走出去。」

回顧北藝中心開館之初,外界多聚焦於雷姆.庫哈斯設計的當代建築、球體外型,以及曾引發廣泛討論的座椅舒適度。王文儀表示,隨著場館營運步入成熟期,檢驗標準已從「建築長什麼樣子」轉變為「民眾如何使用它」。針對外界關心的硬體,北藝中心說明,依市有財產報廢處理原則,球劇場座椅使用年限至2027年底、大劇院座椅至2028年底,屆齡前將委託專業機構整體評估排距、視野、寬度與聲學,在觀眾舒適度與建築美學間取得平衡。

近年北藝逐步打破黑盒子界線,從週末戶外演出的「北藝小戲台」,到結合在地常民生活的《士林YES!》,藝術邊界持續延伸至鄰近街區。王文儀觀察,附近居民如今會帶朋友到館內公共空間聚會,甚至有在地里長主動建議將宮廟文化融入創作,顯示這棟巨型建築正逐漸與士林在地生活融合。

王文儀強調,引進大型街頭劇場的另一關鍵,在於留下跨國大型製作的工作方法,包括技術整合、空間調度與百人協作能力。台灣擁有豐沛的肢體與馬戲人才,未來若街頭製作經驗成熟,北藝中心將能實踐「亞洲共製中心」的願景,串連亞洲各城市,讓公共劇場真正實踐全民共享的價值。

《大象來了……》於今、明(5、6日)晚間7點14分登場,由法國奧波西托劇團出動3頭高4.5公尺、長8公尺的巨型金屬機械大象,攜手台法近百位表演者,自基河路新光人壽會館出發踩街800公尺,並在北藝中心戶外廣場進行定點匯演,全程免費開放民眾參與,以震撼的街頭奇觀具體實踐劇場開放精神。

The Taiwanese drama "Famous" comes to an end. The three protagonists experienced muddy conflicts and life-and-death tests in the fire ward.

The final episode of the Taiwanese drama "Famous" airs tonight. The three leading actors, Li Guoyi, Yao Chunyao, and Cai Genyan, experienced a fierce scuffle in the mud of a rice field, and then fell into a life-or-death crisis in a ward that was suddenly in flames. There are many difficult scenes in the play that challenge the limits of actors. Cai Genyan called the rice field scene an "immersive rice field experience". The fire scene made her cough until she lost her voice. Huang Diyang revealed that the crew's inspiration was to upgrade the hot black tea to hot and sour soup for the character's counterattack scene.
