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"

"...I believe in chaos very much. I believe that the only real invention comes out of chaos and, and so it's better not to know who you are, where you are when you start off if you want to accomplish something good."
~ Robert Lepage
belated happy birthday
and autumn greetings.
wish you a pleasant season.
from a sojourner
between order and chaos
thanks.
BTW, just came across The order of Things by Foucault, which said
"A thing can be absolute according to one relation yet relative to others; order can be at once necessary and natural (in relation to thought) and arbitrary (in relation to things), since according to the way in which we consider it, the same thing may be placed at differing points in our order."
mn...sometimes "order" can bring us chaos, too.
could not figure it out at the beginning, but gradually seem to see something clear in what he tried to say. really impressed by Foucault's observation of human thought.
