Play Time 遊戲時間 (2005)


The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre presents
A Pentas Project (平台計劃) production

11~14 August 2005 @ 8:30pm
13 & 14 August 2005 @ 3:00pm

at KLPAC, Pentas 2
Ticket: RM30 (Adult), RM15 (Student, Senior, Disabled)

秒、分、小時、日、月、年、世紀、光年

我們仨
是在數字的謎陣里玩著時間的遊戲
還是在時間的迷宮里玩著數字的遊戲
可惜,就僅只有我們仨………?

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades, centuries, light years…
Are the three of us
Playing the game of time in the matrix of numbers
Or playing the game of numbers in the labyrinth of time,
Yet, there are just
the three of us ………?

在一个无法辨别出时间的莫名空间里,有三个不知道是什么东西的东西。岁月的不断流逝,已使他们连自己是谁,来自哪里,叫什么名字也搞不清楚。他们三个一同生存在这个空间已经好久好久,生活的无聊让他们觉得无趣而乏味,他们不断的想出各种游戏来让自己的生活变得更快乐。

这一天,他们一同编制一场游戏,邀请了一位演说家和许多的客人,希望能在众多的宾客中发表自己的想法与完成自己的梦想。

只是,到底哪些是虚,哪些是实呢?

In an unknown space where time is ambiguous, lives three unknown creatures. The ever drifted time has made them forgotten their identities, who they are, where they are from, and even their very own names. They have inhabited this space for a very long time.

The dullness of their lives have made them bored, hence they are always thinking of all kinds of games to make their lives happier. 

Today, they are planning for a game, inviting a public speaker and lots of guests to their space, hoping to express their thoughts and fulfill their dreams among the guests.

However, which is the reality and which is the illusion? No one can tell.

由吉隆坡演艺中心呈现,本地著名表演艺术工作者罗国文执导的最新作品~《游戏时间》将于2005年8月11日至8月14日,在新成立的吉隆坡演艺中心(The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre)和观众见面。《游戏时间》是「平台计划」的创团作,共将作6场演出。 

「平台计划」成立于2005年,国文希望透过剧场表演、活动以及课程去建立一个更为成熟的、当代的、多元的,交流频密且开放的剧场平台。同时藉由合作、交流、分享和相互学习去尊重与珍惜不同文化和艺术领域间的差异,以开拓剧场艺术的新视野与合作空间。

《游戏时间》结合了优秀的剧场工作者,阿果、邓壹龄以及水毓棠的精湛表演、近年备受各戏剧奖肯定的舞台设计工作者,曾国辉的舞台布景、杨国忠的造型设计以及手集团艺术总监吴圣雄的音乐创作,希望为观众带来深具水准的演出。

《游戏时间》的创作灵感来自荒谬剧大师尤金.伊欧涅斯科的《椅子》。国文在 《游戏时间》里延续他在语言以及剧场语言的探索,透过游戏的方式,去思考身份定位、时间、孰虚孰实、社会荒诞现象等问题。希望观众在得以享受一场视觉与听觉的饷宴之余,能回头反思关于自己以及所处社会的种种隐忧。


“Play Time”, a new play by renowned local performing artist Loh Kok Man, will be staged at the newly constructed KLPac (The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) from 11th to 14th August 2005. Presented by KLPac, “Play Time” is the debut performance of “Pentas Project”.

Established by Loh Kok Man in 2005, “Pentas Project” hopes to build a mature, contemporary and multi-facet stage. It is a theatre stage that enthusiasts interactions and openness. “Pentas Project” hopes to respect and appreciate differences between diverse cultures and art fields, through collaboration, interaction, sharing and learning, and hence open up new horizons and collaborative spaces in theatre arts.

“Play Time” unites some of the most talented artists in performing arts. Among them are excellent performers like Gan Hui Yee, Ling Tang and Sui Shiang Chi, stage and set design by the emerging and most anticipated Chan Kok Hooi, image design by Charlie Jong and music design by the artistic director of Hands Percussion, Bernard Goh.

Inspired by “Les Chaises”, a script written by the master of Absurd Theatre, Eugene Ionesco, Kok Man extends his interest in exploring the issue of language and theatre language in “Play Time”. Through games, Kok Man hopes to reveal questions such as identity, time, ambiguities between facts and illusions and the absurdity of our society. While audiences will be enjoying a feast of visual and sound, “Play Time” would hopefully also be a thought provoking piece.

About Pentas Project 「平台計劃」簡介

創辦人兼藝術總監/ 羅國文
製作人/ 林偉彬


「平台計劃」成立於2005年。「平台」,即平面的舞台,是一個沒有瓦牆與界限的交流場域。

多元文化和語境一直是馬來西亞獨有特殊的原生環境,東西方文化的歧意和衝突形成的混交特色,催生出風格獨具的藝術形式。「平台計劃」的成立緣起,就是冀望從這個多元文化器皿中汲取養分,以多元交流凝視自身、瞭望國際。 「平台計劃」是一個開放的劇場合作計畫,藉由多元藝術形式的凝視、擦撞、實驗和媾和,醞造多元不設限的藝術交流。「平台計劃」也是一個移動的魔術游擊隊,成員們的養成修持,囊括表演藝術、錄像、建築、舞踏、詩等形式各異的藝術專精,他們在其中呼吸、思考、創作,自由而相容。團員們在不斷加強自身專業裝備之餘,也常跨足平台以外,積極探索形式各異的藝術交流合作,尋求藝術專精的躍進,打造幻詭迷人的藝術魔法。


Founder & Artistic Director/ Loh Kok Man
Producer/ Pam Lim

Malaysia is a multi-racial and multi-cultural country with differences in language, religion, and ethnicity. And these differences have combined and influenced each other, eventually influencing the emergence of diverse art forms and streams that are unique. The establishment of Pentas Project hopes to get its nutrients from the multi-cultural society, and to look into ourselves while gazing at the world.
  • Founded in 2005 by Loh Kok Man
  • “Pentas Project” in Chinese would be 「平台計劃」 (ping tai ji hua). The first two characters「平台」 (ping tai), indicate a flat stage. 
  • “Pentas Project” envisions a stage without walls or boundaries, a stage that can be more transparent and equal, a stage for interaction and understanding that can strengthen the relationships between different cultures and realms. 

    Objectives of Pentas Project
  1. To build a mature, contemporary, and multi-faceted stage which encourages interaction and openness. 
  2. To learn, explore, understand, and open up new horizons and collaborative space in theatre arts. 
  3. To respect and support differences through collaboration, interaction, sharing and learning, and furthermore, to appreciate the unique of diversity in our society and field.
