《有故事的人：娭毑》 The Storyteller: Oi-Jia
《娭毑》是一齣從「成為母親」開始的單人劇。 當育兒的恐懼與不安浮現，一名女性回頭凝視自己的母親，並將視線延伸至已經過世的外婆。那些她長久以來深信不疑的家族敘事，在求證與追問中逐漸鬆動。原本清楚的責任鏈開始崩解，留下的是無法完全歸責於任何一代人的選擇與性格交錯。 這不是一封對上一代的控訴信，也不是一場和解儀式。《娭毑》更像是一個暫停的瞬間。當我們無法再把痛苦完全交給上一代時，我們是否仍然願意為現在的自己負責？ 作品以極簡舞台與象徵性物件「痰桶」為核心，讓觀眾看見敘事如何在一個人心中崩解又重組。這不是角色衝突的展示，而是一場對記憶、責任與成為的凝視。 Oi-Jia is a solo performance that begins with the experience of becoming a mother. As fear and anxiety surface in the midst of childcare, a woman […]
