Memorabilia-Vai Avignon Art Festival 5-Silpin Theatre

It is a very old and small theater, the entrance is inconspicuous, I am very doubtful, will anyone really find us?

It, although small, has all the internal organs.

There are about 50 seats in the auditorium, and the ceiling looks like it hasn't been renovated for a long time. I don't know if the drums start, whether there is a possibility of this theater collapsing, but fortunately, no! However, not long after the first song of the performance started, a part of the ceiling fell off, and the wall ash was illuminated by the light, producing a slender tornado line, forming an unexpected effect of the performance picture.

In the first three days of the show, because there are other performance teams, everyone has to take turns to rehearse, and each team only has about two hours to adjust the lights, position and rehearse.

Due to the large size of the musical instrument, the performances are lavish, and the stage for the performance is really small. Even the width of the wing curtain is only enough for one person to hide, and there is basically no place to hide and rest. At this time, in addition to adapting to the lack of a microphone Ear training; because there is no backstage, it is necessary to change each stage, first think about positioning the two sides of the instrument, so as to avoid the confusion of the instruments in the field, and also practice the QUE point with the lighting group. There is a slight miss, it is difficult to restore the entire performance completeness.

Although it is said that the stage is small, for us, it is a process of improvement. In the state of no adults ((I hope the boss please don’t read this 😂, and also added some personal thoughts that are invisible in Taiwan, after all It's a team, and it can't have too outrageous personal characteristics, or it has overcome the total difficulties and increased the theatrical quality of the performance.

During the performance, all the props must be placed in a theater style. There is a set and it should not be messy. There is a toilet in the lounge on the second floor. The pipeline is old. No one is allowed to use it; that is to say, before the audience enters, all internal urgency must be resolved, and everyone's bowels and bladders must be.... healthy.

There is only one entrance and exit of the theater, which is the route for us to move the drums. Every day, one and a half hours before the performance, we go to move the drums, locate all the instruments, change the costumes, and even wear costumes directly from home to the theater, the audience. Entrance is also the entrance and exit. Once the performance starts, it will take about 50 minutes. Unless there is an emergency, no one will be allowed to leave the theater until the performance is over.

The place where the musical instrument is placed is like a wine cellar. It is a little damp. The drum skin is made of cowhide, which is easy to get wet. Therefore, sometimes the weather is good during the day. The softening of the drum head not only affects the pitch, but also requires more strength, which is a considerable consumption for both the human and the musical instrument.

There is a small courtyard behind the Sipin Theater itself. Only on the first day of our meeting at the Sipin Theater, a welcome party opened that door. In the following days, no one opened it again, but it was A chic small courtyard is very suitable for the atmosphere of everyone gathering and dining together. Personally, I like having such a scene at home (((It seems that I can make a wish again.

Although I don't know the history of this theater very well, I think this theater is also a comfortable environment for the performance. Under the conditions of rehearsal and performance, any actor and the audience are very clear, and the tacit understanding between the members, It's even more seamless.

In the next few years, most of the Taiwanese teams performed in that theater, which seems to be a long-term cooperative theater.
