作品融合肢體劇場、偶劇與觀眾互動,以詩意且參與式的街頭演出探討「家」的概念:棲居於一處地方、棲居於自己的身體、棲居於自身的傷口。透過與 Pina 的相遇,角色逐漸學會馴服恐懼、傷痕與差異,並最終向他人敞開。在第二部分,觀眾將受邀操作這個偶,賦予她呼吸、目光與情感;這是一場充滿人性、細膩而沉浸的體驗,邀請每個人為無生命之物注入生命,也或許為自己被遺忘的某一部分重新注入氣息。

Blending physical theatre, puppetry, and audience interaction, this poetic and participatory street performance explores the notion of “home”: inhabiting a place, inhabiting one’s body, inhabiting one’s wounds. Through their encounter with Pina, the characters gradually learn to tame their fears, their scars, and their differences, ultimately opening themselves to others.

《星上人》以一張桌子為舞台,透過可拆解、重組的立方體結構,結合執頭偶的操作,在桌面上幻化出階梯、天台與星空等不同場景。相同的物件,經由排列與組合,轉化為截然不同的情境,帶領觀眾感受「物件轉化萬物」的驚喜與想像。

The Star in My Heart is set on a table, combining tabletop puppetry with modular cube structures that are dismantled and rearranged throughout the performance. Together, they create stairways, rooftops, and a night sky, while the same set of objects is continually transformed into entirely different scenes. The performance invites audiences to discover the magic of transforming ordinary objects into limitless imaginative worlds.

一座小房子由詩、偶、窗戶、歌曲、月亮、蝸牛,甚至一隻大河馬慢慢搭建而成;到了最後,觀眾還可以走進這座房子參觀。這場音樂與物件劇場作品受到捷克插畫家 Květa Pacovská 的視覺世界啟發,她被譽為「色彩的魔法師」。作品將簡單物件轉化為充滿生命力的場景,帶來一場親密、玩味且富有想像力的劇場體驗。

A little house is built from poems, puppets, windows, songs, moons, snails, and even a large hippopotamus — a house that the audience can eventually visit. Inspired by the visual world of Czech illustrator Květa Pacovská, known as “the magician of color,” this musical object theatre performance transforms simple materials into a playful, intimate, and imaginative experience.

這是玩偶「圈圈」在甦醒後,幫助其他物件擺脫束縛的故事。當它遇到自己的本體材料——麻繩後,發現原來自己的初始形態是如此自由,不會被任何因素牽制。圈圈極力想擺脫操偶師的控制,但當它達到目的後,卻完全失去了作為一隻玩偶本該有的作用與價值。圈圈該如何面對,又會做出怎樣的選擇?

After waking up, the puppet Quanquan begins helping other objects break free from their restraints. When it encounters its original material — rope — it discovers a form of freedom beyond control and tries to escape the puppeteer’s manipulation. Yet once it achieves this freedom, it also loses the purpose and value of being a puppet, leading to a physical and poetic exploration of control, identity, and choice.
