活動簡介

UK NOW“藝述英國”應(yīng)歐洲戲劇愛好者的熱望，特邀盛名之下的蘇格蘭戲劇工作室獻(xiàn)演他們的轟動曲目《幸福家園》。這不僅僅意味著多一部歐陸大戲進(jìn)入中國觀眾的視野，被中國觀眾理解，更體現(xiàn)了文藝形態(tài)多樣性正在中國迎來全新蓬勃生機(jī)。立即在藝述英國的推介下，熱享蘇格蘭熱力演出，沿著錯(cuò)綜矛盾隨情緒跌宕起伏，經(jīng)歷一番滄海桑田。

戲劇《幸福家園》的場景設(shè)置在蘇格蘭的小山村卡希爾，位于法夫煤礦的心臟地帶。講述了一群守法公民揭竿而起，挺身對抗統(tǒng)治者的心路歷程。三個(gè)家庭的親切群像和他們的斗爭史，反映了在非人的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策下的人性抗?fàn)帯∏槊枋隽斯蛡蛉宕蟛糠謩诹Φ拿旱V公司與政府狼狽為奸，企圖壓制所謂的反抗“紅潮”。然而，村民們?yōu)榱俗陨頇?quán)益挺身而出，最終他們的斗爭激起了全國上下的聲援。結(jié)尾時(shí)盡管罷工失敗了，但在壓迫中鑄就了益發(fā)堅(jiān)定的信念，讓政治覺醒的種子在每一個(gè)人的心目中悄然種下。

本劇的構(gòu)建設(shè)置在真實(shí)的歷史背景之上，并取材于1926年的大罷工。當(dāng)時(shí)，第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的硝煙散去不過7年時(shí)間，礦工工會領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了席卷全國的抗議活動，反對自由黨和保守黨聯(lián)合政府實(shí)施的嚴(yán)苛的薪資裁減案，所以鑄就了英國勞工權(quán)利斗爭史上一支由蘇格蘭礦工團(tuán)體寫下的宏壯曲目。為了突顯工人們“工資不少一分錢，工時(shí)不多一分鐘”的激情主旋律，蘇格蘭戲劇工作室更與蘇格蘭法夫的煤礦工人團(tuán)體合作策劃來出品這部作品。

不妨跟隨藝述英國一起走進(jìn)段愛恨交織的情仇史，您將會對于政治體裁的歐式戲劇擁有更多認(rèn)識、獲得更多欣賞。

Introduction

It’s the General Strike 1926: just seven years after the horrors of the First World War, trenches and miners’ unions are leading countrywide protests against harsh austerity cuts imposed by a Liberal-Conservative government.

Set in the village of Carhill, Scotland, in the heart of the Fife coalfields, The Happy Lands follows the journey of law-abiding citizens who become law-breakers in a battle against the state. This intimate portrayal of three families’ struggle depicts the human consequences of impersonal economics. The coal company that employs most of the village is colluding with government forces to keep the ‘red threat’ under control. As the villagers stand up for their rights, their struggle inspires and galvanises national support. Faith forged
