上海市侨联成立70周年来临之际,由中国侨联文化交流部指导的舞剧《海的一半》11日至12日在上海保利大剧院连演两场。该剧以爱国华侨陈嘉庚兴学救国的历史为蓝本,用极具现代感的舞台语言,诠释华侨爱国爱乡的情怀。

“海的一半在南洋,海的另一半在闽南。”该剧总导演、编舞林辰接受中新网专访时说,他曾多次赴福建、新加坡采风,印象最深的是在新加坡看到许多同乡会馆,华侨在异国他乡抱团聚居、守望相助。“这是很生活化的场景,却给了我们最核心的艺术灵感。我们从中提炼出华侨群像:每个人各自打拼事业,遇到大事时同心聚力。这份群像质感,成为整部剧的精神锚点。”

不同于传统人物传记舞剧的编年体叙事,该剧截取经济大萧条时期的关键抉择,展现华侨兄弟不遗余力践行教育兴国的理念,并以“海的两端”构建非线性叙事。舞台上,16块悬浮吊板时而拼成渔船、时而化作会议桌,成为“漂泊人生”的具象载体;闽南红、南洋蓝两大色彩体系交相闪现,一边是惠安女群舞的炽热故土,一边是娘惹舞段的深蓝乡愁。

该剧此前在福建巡演时,凭借一段“西装群舞”走红网络。不少观众因“穿西装跳高难度舞蹈”的片段慕名而来,却被全剧层层递进的情感打动。

该剧服装及造型总设计李锐丁接受中新网专访时说,“品相好”是观众最直观的评价,而这份“品相”藏在无数细节里:看似统一的西装,驳领宽窄、纽扣数量各有不同,对应不同人物的身份与性格;陈嘉庚的灰色调西装搭配细条纹背心,恰如其分地展现他沉稳的气度。

“舞剧没有台词,服装就是人物内心的外化。不用说话,观众看衣着就能读懂人物的命运与情绪。”李锐丁说,除了西装群舞,剧中还设计了闽南渔女红衫、南洋娘惹蓝纱袍等造型,但没有照搬传统民族服饰,而是做了时尚化重构。

该剧多媒体设计王萌用“隐身的科技”串联起两岸时空。“海既是分隔,也是联结。”在他的设计里,多媒体不做炫技的背景,而是配合极简舞美完成场景无缝转场,营造出电影蒙太奇般的叙事感。

“好的技术是观众感受不到技术,只感受到时空流转、情绪递进。”王萌表示,团队希望以更具创新的审美表达,吸引更多年轻人了解爱国华侨的故事。

上海是近现代华侨归国兴业的重镇。“上海观众对‘跨洋打拼、故土情深’的体验并不陌生。”林辰认为,这部自带时尚气质的舞剧来沪巡演,有着特殊的情感共鸣基础。

谈及华侨历史题材的当代表达,林辰表示,“我们不把陈嘉庚塑造成高高在上的伟人,而是把他当成一个背井离乡、牵挂故土的普通人。”正如剧名《海的一半》所承载的内核:人生总有一半在远方、一半系家乡,这份跨越山海的共情,正是嘉庚精神穿越百年依然动人的原因。
