一直到看了破報之後才知道這個這齣戲的主角Robert Lepage和之前在台北電影節看到自編自導自演電影《在月亮的彼端》的是同一人。於是又抱著想看本尊的心情買下昂貴的票......總之，一切都值得。劇末，在大火即將燒毀一切之前
主角留下一句安徒生的話：
"I knew that this world end as a Hans Christain Anderson story, where human who have longings and desires die, and animals have lots of children and live happily ever after."
整齣戲好像是透過安徒生的眼睛，來看待安徒生本身的故事與他所創作的童話故事；他與他的故事在兩百年後的今天，也成了一個故事，而且是非常安徒生式的 —到最後那些對世界有所期待的都會不著痕跡的消失，就像樹精變成一滴眼淚，人魚化為泡沫一樣，只是這次是一團灰燼。

fairy tale
(also fairy story) noun
1 a story about magic or FAIRIES, usually for children:
the prince in a fairy tale
2 a story that sb tells that is not true; a lie:
Now tell me the truth: I don't want any more of your fairy stories.
果然在現代人的定義裡，a fairy tale equals to a lie
難怪要讓現代版的安徒生在舞台上再死一次
but as Picasso said, "Art is lies that tell the truth"
Lepage may think the same way
i do believe that somewhere on the platform, we see truth in the "lie"
