Memoir-Vavignon Art Festival 6-Language Without Borders

One month, two repertoires, rotating every day. Even before going abroad, the seniors shared many different experiences with us, and we constantly had to assume many different possibilities. When we arrived there, there were still many technical problems to overcome. .

Performing is something we do every day; and making the performance better is the most important task every day.

Before the performance, in the lounge on the second floor, I always peeped, how many people will come today?

The songs prepared this time all have a strong Taiwanese background. Will they know what we want to express? Does it resonate with the audience?

But it was soon discovered that these worries were all in vain. The beginning of the drums had already connected us with the audience. Whether it was the crowing of chickens, frogs, or birds, all of them provoked them to look around and look around. The symbolic masks and weapons have aroused their curiosity, although they are not very clear about the moment they appreciate, what are their thoughts? What is the picture? But what is certain is that we broke into their hearts.

In the previous articles, it was explained that the distance between the audience and us is very close, that is to say, not only are they looking at us very close, but we can also clearly see the expressions of everyone. During the progress of the track, The spirit of the actors is compatible with the music. Through their reactions, it seems that we can also get feedback, so that there will be different feedbacks in the performance. (((laugh....

Has the response to each performance been a success?

There is a piece of music where chickens croak at the first sound, gu~ gu gu , when the crowing was obviously very successful~ The reaction in Taiwan was a burst of laughter, while the French audience had a mysterious sound on the face, although Subsequent performances gave them a sense of epiphany, but it left us feeling a little overwhelmed and lost.

After that, about two or three days later, my brother got up early and went out for a walk, and when he came back, he shouted: I have found the problem. In the morning, we were still confused, so we gathered everyone to sit together, and the senior brother calmly explained: I know why the audience did not respond, because the chickens in France are crowing . In an instant, everyone suddenly realized, yes, Animals have languages too!

On the day of the performance, gogo and goo~ sound together, the audience burst into laughter, and we knew that it was a success. It was a special experience. It turns out that when you enter the country, you must start with the most basic environmental sounds.

The beginning of the performance is the most forgetful time for each of us. Whether it is illness, menstrual pain, injury, or bad mood, during that time, we will all forget everything. That is our best state.

In 50 minutes, we talked about Taiwan's folk customs, indigenous people, and customs, and we showed Taiwan in our hearts.

After 50 minutes, when the hands and feet were applauded after the performance, and the audience left the stage, it was as if we were all from the same language, sharing with each other and making an appointment to meet next time.

For those of us who don't know French, at the end, we manipulated a short and blunt French. No one can tell how much intimacy those poor words brought us.

Afterwards, I saw the audience's messages and hugs to us, all of which repaired our tired bodies and brought satisfied souls.
